Formula or document explanation
Cartons per pallet = cartons per layer x layers per pallet. Pallet count = total cartons / cartons per pallet, rounded up. Pallet height = carton height x layers plus pallet base height.
Example
With 8 cartons per layer and 6 layers, each pallet holds 48 cartons. 96 cartons need 2 pallet(s).
FAQ
Is this a final pallet loading plan?
No. This is a planning estimate. Actual palletization depends on carton strength, overhang rules, pallet type, stack limits, and warehouse loading instructions.
What pallet size should I choose?
Common options include 120 x 100 cm and 120 x 80 cm, but buyer, carrier, and warehouse requirements may differ.
Should pallet height include the pallet base?
Yes for transport planning. This calculator adds a default pallet base height of 15 cm.
