Pallet configuration is the process of arranging cartons on a pallet to maximize space utilization while maintaining stability and safety. Proper configuration reduces shipping costs, minimizes damage, and improves warehouse efficiency.
Key factors include carton dimensions, weight limits, stacking patterns, and height restrictions for storage or transport. The optimal configuration balances maximum utilization with practical handling requirements.

- Euro Pallet (800×1200mm): Standard in Europe, max 1500kg
- US Standard (48×40 in): North American standard, max 2000kg
- Asian Pallet (1100×1100mm): Japanese standard, max 1000kg
Column Stack
Direct vertical stacking. Best for heavy cartons with strong corners.
✓ Maximum stability, easy to count
✗ Less interlocking strength
Brick Pattern
Interlocking like bricks. Each layer offset by half a carton.
✓ Excellent stability, interlocking
✗ Slightly fewer cartons per layer
Pinwheel
Rotated arrangement for square or odd-sized cartons.
✓ Good for mixed sizes, stable
✗ Complex to plan and execute
Optimal Mix
AI-recommended pattern based on carton dimensions and constraints.
✓ Maximizes efficiency automatically
✗ May require different patterns per layer
- •Always check carton stacking strength before increasing layers
- •Use stretch wrap or strapping for stacks over 1.5m tall
- •Consider forklift access when planning overhang
- •Leave 2-3cm gap at top for stretch wrapping clearance
- •Match pallet type to destination region for easier handling
- •Test configurations with actual cartons before full implementation
- ✗Exceeding pallet weight capacity (can cause collapse)
- ✗Ignoring height limits for racking or containers
- ✗Allowing excessive overhang without securing cargo
- ✗Using damaged pallets that compromise stability
- ✗Stacking cartons beyond their crush strength rating
- ✗Not accounting for pallet weight in total calculations
