Ink Blue RTA Kitchen, 2.4 Meter Run, Flat-Pack in Nine Cartons
0.71 m3 and 88 kg for a 2.4 meter run, about 88 runs to a 40HQ — an apartment-scale program priced by the linear meter and shipped by the cubic meter
Apartment kitchens do not need a 3 meter run, and a program built only around 3 meters leaves money in the container. This one is seven units: a 2.4 meter base run in three 800 mm cabinets, a 1.8 meter wall run in three 600 mm cabinets and a 500 mm pantry, all in 18 mm EN 312 P3 board with deep ink blue super-matte melamine fronts. Nine cartons at 0.71 m3 and 88 kg gross, so about 88 runs go into a 40HQ and a 20GP still carries about 39. Assembly is cam and dowel, no glue, no specialist tool.

Why Buyers Choose This Model
- Seven units make a 2.4 m base run, a 1.8 m wall run and a 500 mm pantry — one purchase order, one cutting list, no separate minimum order per unit width
- 18 mm EN 312 P3 board for load-bearing use in humid conditions in E1 emission class, edge banded on four sides with 1 mm ABS so a dishwasher leak does not open the seam
- Deep ink blue super-matte melamine at about 0.6 gloss units, a decor that hides fingerprints and appliance smudges without the sheen that shows every mark in a rental turnover
- Standard carcass depth 560 mm with a 610 mm (24 in) US-depth option on the same cutting list, so one program serves a European carcass and an American 24 in countertop
- DTC 110 degree clip-on hinges with 3D cam adjustment, tested to 40,000 cycles, so a door that drops after two years is a screwdriver job rather than a claim
- DTC 30 kg tandem drawer boxes with soft close, rated to 50,000 cycles, running on a 16 mm base panel rated for the same load, with a hardware bag in every carton
- Nine cartons at 0.71 m3 and 88 kg gross for the whole run — about 88 runs per 40HQ against roughly 28 assembled at 2.4 m3, and every carton fits a 48 x 40 in pallet
- Cam and dowel assembly at 25 minutes a unit with numbered panels and a paper template per carton, so a dealer builds against confirmed orders instead of stocking built boxes
Specification Questions Buyers Ask
Why build the program around 2.4 meters instead of the usual 3 meters?
Because the mix of jobs a dealer actually sells is not uniform, and an apartment or a townhouse kitchen is usually 2.2 to 2.6 meters of base run. A 3 meter program forces the buyer to order a cabinet that gets cut down on site or left in the warehouse, and cutting a carcass down on site destroys the edge banding on the panel that matters most. A 2.4 meter program with a 500 mm pantry covers the apartment job as shipped, and a 3.6 meter job is a 2.4 run plus a 1.2 add-on off the same cutting list rather than a different program with a different minimum.
Does the 610 mm US depth option cost more than the 560 mm carcass?
It costs board, not tooling. A 610 mm carcass uses about 9 percent more panel per unit than a 560 mm one and the same hinges, runners and drilling pattern, so the price difference is the panel difference and not a new setup. The constraint is packing: a 610 mm deep base means a longer carton, which changes how many fit across the container, so the cube per run rises slightly and the loading quantity falls by a few percent. Quote the depth with the per-carton list attached rather than as a price per meter, because the freight move is the part the price per meter hides.
What exactly is inside 0.71 m3, and what is not?
Inside: seven carcasses, all doors and drawer fronts, the 5 mm back panels, shelves, the plinth boards and legs, hinges, runners, handles and the hardware bags. Outside: the worktop, the sink and tap, and any appliance, because those are specified to the local market and chosen by the buyer, not the carcass supplier. The carton list ships with the quotation — per carton dimensions and gross weight, and the model each carton belongs to — and it is the same list a forwarder needs for a booking and a packaging declaration needs for tonnage by material.
Can mixed widths and a second finish ship in the same container?
Yes, and the limit is the minimum per finish rather than the minimum per width. Twenty sets per finish is the threshold because a decor change means a board change and a machine setup, so a container carrying ink blue and a second decor is two finishing runs inside one shipment. Within one decor, widths are free: every panel is cut on a nesting program, so an 800 mm base becomes a 600 mm base on the cutting list. Mixed widths do raise cube slightly, because part-filled cartons are less efficient than full ones, and a quote that ignores that is a quote that will be renegotiated at the loading bay.
How does the per-meter price react to drawer count and hardware brand?
It is close to linear in hardware and almost flat in board. A run with three drawer boxes per meter carries more runner sets and more box panels than a door-only run, and a branded 30 kg tandem box costs several times an unbranded one, so the hardware line moves the price per meter more than any finish in the range. The practical way to read a per-meter quote is to ask for three variants of the same run: doors only, one drawer bank, two drawer banks. If the spread between them is small, the quote is carrying a hardware assumption you have not agreed to.
