Example Calculation
Box Packing Example
Pallet: 1200×1000 mm (European standard)
Max Height: 100 cm
Box Dimensions: 15×20×10 cm
Calculation: Testing all 6 orientations for optimal fit
Result
Optimal Orientation: 15cm (width) × 20cm (length) × 10cm (height)
Packages per Layer: 8×5 = 40 packages
Number of Layers: 100cm ÷ 10cm = 10 layers
Total Packages: 40 × 10 = 400 packages

Minimize damage through optimal package arrangement
Improve warehouse efficiency and handling
Comply with weight and height restrictions
Understanding Pallet Optimization
How Package Arrangement Works
The calculator tests all six possible package orientations to find the arrangement that fits the most packages on your pallet. Each orientation places a different package dimension along each pallet axis (width, length, height).
Optimization Factors
- •Package orientation and stacking pattern
- •Maximum load height constraints
- •Weight capacity limitations
- •Space utilization efficiency
Standard Pallet Types
GMA/CHEP (48×40")
Most common in North America. Used in grocery and retail supply chains.
Euro Pallet (47.24×39.37")
Standard in Europe and Asia. Optimized for European truck and container dimensions.
Australian Standard (42×42")
Square pallet design popular in Australia and some Asian markets.
