One liter is the volume of a 10 cm cube, so 1 ml is exactly 1 cm³ and 1,000 liters is 1 m³. To get the volume of a box in liters, multiply its length, width and height in centimeters and divide by 1,000.
In US units, one gallon is defined as exactly 231 cubic inches, and one cubic foot holds about 7.48 US gallons.
