Start freeHow the pallet calculator works
It tries your box in every allowed orientation and looks for the layer pattern that fits the most boxes on the pallet, including patterns that turn some boxes 90° to use leftover space. Then it works out how many layers fit under your height limit (measured from the floor, including the pallet deck) and stops early if the weight limit is reached. Real-world loads also depend on box strength, so check stacking limits before you ship.
