| Very nice that have the option to change all dimensions on a single page: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=S
In my opinion, following the logic for instructions entries were we have width
x height x thickness the dimensions for flat boxes should also follow the
same logic and I would therefore suggest to make this: width x height x thickness
(of the flattened box).
Depth?

Well, if you consider the box flat on a table, ready to be packed, then the longest
side is length, the second longest side is width and the last side is thickness
because the box is not deep enough to have depth.
So you should ask for all the three names to be changed

Same here, I'd say length x width (well, breadth, but they won't change
that) x thickness as the 'depth' is so small compared to the other dimensions.

Yeah, I was going to ask that as well but I thought that would be a too big change
at once

I have moved this message to another topic since there was nothing here that
a Catalog Admin can do.
Here is the help page for measuring boxes:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2510#EmptyBoxes
The help page refers to "thickness" of the flattened box, so I agree that it
should be changed on the form.
Cheers,
Randy
