Cases per pallet calculator: how many boxes fit, with the pattern drawn

How many cases fit, and in what pattern?

The full guide, with tables

How many boxes fit on a pallet?
On a 1.20 x 1.00 m pallet, 10 cases of 40 x 30 cm fit per layer in an interlocked pattern. With cases 26 cm high and a total height of 1.80 m, that makes 6 layers: 60 cases. The number depends on the case, the maximum height and whether you accept overhang.
How do you calculate how many boxes fit on a pallet?
Look for the best arrangement of the case length and width on the pallet, trying column stack, interlocked and pinwheel. Then divide the usable height by the case height to get the layers, and multiply.
What is the standard pallet size in Mexico?
We did not locate a NOM or an NMX, Mexico's official and voluntary standards, that sets a single size. The two most used are 1,200 x 1,000 mm, which GS1 lists as ISO 6780, and 1,219 x 1,016 mm (48 x 40 inches), which GS1 describes as used mainly in the Americas. Confirm it with your customer and your carrier before you lock in the pattern.
Does this calculator account for case strength?
No. It does the geometry. Before you set the height, check your case's compression strength and the maximum weight of your pallet and your rack.
