How to Use This Calculator

Enter pallet size (40x48 in standard), carton dimensions (L x W x H in inches), and carton weight (lbs).
Enter maximum stack height (inches) and maximum pallet weight (lbs).
Read cartons per layer, layers per pallet, and total cartons per pallet.
Review pallet weight and cube utilization to maximize truck and warehouse density.
Adjust carton orientation within the layer for best overhang minimization.

How the result changes with Pallet length (in)

Pallet length (in)	Cases per layer	Number of layers	Total cases per pallet
8.1	0	0	0
26	4	6	24
47	6	6	36
65	12	6	72

Case length (in): Length of each case or carton.
Case width (in): Width of each case or carton.
Case height (in): Height of each case or carton.
Case weight (lbs): Gross weight of each loaded case.
Pallet length (in): Pallet deck length (standard GMA = 48 in).
Pallet width (in): Pallet deck width (standard GMA = 40 in).
Max stack height (in): Maximum allowable stack height above pallet deck (typically 48-60 in for trucks).
Max pallet weight (lbs): Maximum gross weight allowed on the pallet.

Cases per layer: Number of cases that fit on one pallet layer.
Number of layers: How many layers can be stacked (limited by height or weight).
Total cases per pallet: Total cases on the fully loaded pallet.
Total weight (lbs): Gross weight of all cases on the pallet.
Stack height (in): Actual stack height of cases.
Area utilization %: How efficiently the pallet deck area is used.
Volume utilization %: How efficiently the pallet volume envelope is used.
Best orientation (1 or 2): 1 = case length along pallet length, 2 = rotated 90 degrees.
