Standard 55 gallon drum measures 22.5 inches in diameter, and 33.5 inches high. You can fit ten in the container lengthwise, four widthwise, and either two or three stacked atop each other (depending on the height of the container.. if you have 110 inches of inside height, it'll be three high). So, if it's three high, you'll be able to fit a total of 120 in a 20 ft. shipping container. This is, of course, assuming that these drums are not on pallets.

On average, you could fit about 14,400 T-shirts in a 40-foot container if each shirt is neatly folded and stacked. Just think of all the joy those shirts could bring to people all around the world!
Well, let's see. It has to be big enough to put the whole object in with nothing hanging out, but it has to be small enough so that the object won't rattle and slide around inside. We're going to say that a container with inside dimensions of 27 by 19.5 by 19.5 inches should be just about right.
