What is a Pallet Configuration

A pallet configuration refers to the arrangement of boxes or items on a shipping pallet to maximize space utilization and ensure safe transportation. It involves calculating the optimal number of boxes that can be stacked on a pallet considering dimensions, weight limits, and stability requirements. Proper pallet configuration is crucial for efficient warehousing, reducing shipping costs, and preventing damage during transit.

How to Use Pallet Configuration Calculator

Step 1: Select your pallet type from the dropdown menu (Standard, Euro, or Custom). For custom pallets, enter the length and width dimensions.
