How to use
- Select pallet dimensions (EUR 1200x800 mm, US 48x40 in, or custom).
- Enter carton length, width, height, and unit weight.
- Specify maximum allowable stack height and weight limits.
- Review optimal packing patterns, total box capacity, and volume utilization.
What is palletization?
Palletization is the systematic stacking and securing of cartons or goods onto a pallet to facilitate efficient handling, storage, and freight transport.
Optimized loading maximizes container fill rate, minimizes transport costs, and prevents in-transit cargo shifting and damage.
Tips for optimal pallet stacking
Interlock layers alternately where possible to bind cartons together and enhance stack integrity.
Never allow carton overhang as it substantially reduces cardboard edge-crush strength and risks freight damage during transit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cartons fit on a standard pallet?
Capacity is dictated by individual carton dimensions and container door clearances. Our calculator tests multiple alignment variants to maximize unit counts.
What is the standard maximum pallet height for transport?
Typically between 1.6 and 2.4 metres depending on dry van / curtainsider truck interior clearances or ocean container specifications.
Does carton overhang weaken the pallet stack?
Yes, cartons overhanging pallet edges lose up to 30% of their stacking compression strength and are prone to puncture during handling.
