How do I know what size packing to get 4 stuffing box

I need to change the packing in my stuffing box, and have never done this before. I have a good idea of how to go about it, but I am not sure what size packing to buy it, such as 3/8.
The boat has a 1 inch shaft, Do I have to wait until I get the old stuff out to figure this out?
