How many cartons
fit on this pallet?

Try it with your carton

Carton (mm)

Calculated in your browser, nothing is sent. Total height limited to 1,800 mm, pallet included. All options in the free calculator

PalletLab Palletization answers that question. You give it the pallet and the carton, it works out the possible patterns, the number of layers, the height and the weight, then prints the drawings for the dock. It is a second product, alongside PalletLab, not an option bolted onto it.

PalletLab Palletization: EPAL pallet loaded with 48 boxes in columns, six layers, and the list of calculated patterns, ranked
400 × 300 × 250 mm box on an EPAL pallet. Eighteen configurations calculated, the best in columns: 48 boxes, 1,644 mm high, 985 kg.

Two applications, two jobs

Palletization works out what goes on the pallet: it is the tool for those who ship. PalletLab, our main application, is for designing and costing the wooden packaging itself: it is aimed at manufacturers. Two jobs, two subscriptions. You can take one without the other. And if your pallet was designed in PalletLab, Palletization opens it with its real dimensions, weight and load capacity.

PalletLab Palletization

Palletizing plan for one product, or several mixed products: patterns, layers, height, weight, stability, assembly guide. On a standard pallet or on a pallet designed in PalletLab.

The other application · wooden packaging makers

PalletLab

3D design of pallets, crates, bulk bins and A-frame racks, piece by piece. Weight, cutting list, cost price, quote, delivery note, invoice.

What it works out

The software tries rows, mixed blocks and pinwheels, column-stacked or interlocked, with the carton upright or on its side when allowed. Before offering you a solution, it checks it again from scratch: no carton overlapping another, each one properly supported, height, load and quantity respected.

Patterns

Columns at 0° and 90°, pinwheel, mixed and nested blocks. It keeps the five to eight best and you compare them in one click.

Stacking

Column-stacked to resist crushing, interlocked to resist tipping. It works out what a bottom carton carries and keeps it within what it can bear.

Constraints

Maximum height, pallet load, available quantity, full layers or not, allowed overhang along length and width, carton in a fixed or free orientation.

Drawings for the dock

Top view, layer by layer, front and side, with dimensions and the maximum height. The palletizing sheet fits on one page: pallet, product, constraints, result, and the drawings numbered in placing order.

Dimensioned 2D plans of the palletising: top view and layer 1 of 6 side by side, front elevation on the right
Drawings dimensioned in millimetres or inches. The layer chosen at the bottom is shown on its own, in 3D and on the drawings.

How to read a pallet pattern

Several products on the same pallet

When the parcels differ, it places the heaviest at the bottom and never puts a parcel on a lighter one, nor on a fragile one. Each parcel rests on at least 70 % of its base. Assembly runs carton by carton, bottom to top, and the printed guide gives each one its place.

Mixed load: three items of different sizes on an EPAL pallet, 24 packages in seven levels
Three items, 24 packages, seven levels: 994 mm high and 257 kg.

Technical sheet

Pallets
EPAL 1200 × 800, 1200 × 1000, half pallet 800 × 600, custom sizes. Import of a pallet designed in PalletLab (dimensions, weight, load).
Product
Dimensions, weight, available quantity, permissible load on the carton, 90° rotation, “this side up” or free position, stackable, number of layers.
Patterns
Columns, pinwheel, mixed and nested blocks. Identical, mirrored or 180°-rotated layers, as you choose.
Mixed load
Different parcels, heavy always below, fragile ones protected, minimum support, transmitted load checked.
Results
Cartons per layer and in total, height, weight, coverage, volume, overhang, centre of gravity, load on a bottom carton, comparison index out of 100.
Verification
Every solution is recomputed independently: collisions, edges, height, weight, quantity, orientation, support, strength.
Outputs
Interactive 3D, dimensioned drawings, printable palletizing sheet with assembly guide, PDF report, JSON and CSV export of the plan, PNG image, API for ERP and WMS.
Editing and costs
Plan editable by hand (move, rotate, lock, remove, add, recompute around the fixed boxes), pallet comparator, consumables and cost per pallet (film, top cover, corner boards, strapping, slip sheets, labels, labour).
Truck and container
Loading of the computed pallets into nine vehicles (Mega, standard and Jumbo semi-trailers, rigid trucks, 20′ to 45′ HC containers): rows, stacking bounded by the load capacity, loading metres, centre of gravity, delivery stops, loose cartons, independent verification.
Units and languages
Millimetres and kilograms or inches and pounds. French, English and Spanish.
How it runs
On your computer, no connection needed. No data sent. Windows and macOS.

A word on the index

The index out of 100 is there to compare solutions with each other, for the same product and the same pallet. It takes into account quantity, coverage, height, load and an estimate of stability. It is not a certification.

It replaces neither a load test, nor a stability standard, nor the forklift operator's eye. Film, strapping and the other consumables are costed, not simulated: they do not enter the stability estimate. Slip sheets, however, count in the stacking. For mixed loads, the calculation gives a correct, verified stack, not a guaranteed optimum.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free version of the palletizing software?

Yes, in two ways. The online palletizing calculator is free, no sign-up: it is the software's engine, for one carton and one pallet. And the full software can be tried free for 7 days, no credit card.

How much does PalletLab Palletization cost?

€39 excl. VAT per month, or €390 excl. VAT per year, for two seats. No quote to request: the price is the same for everyone and shown below.

What exactly does the software calculate?

The number of cartons per layer and the number of layers for a given pallet and product, the height and weight of the load, the load carried by the bottom cartons, a comparison index between solutions, mixed loads of several products, and dimensioned plans with the assembly guide.

Is an internet connection needed?

Not to calculate: everything runs on your computer, on Windows or macOS. A connection is used for licence activation and updates.

Can several products be loaded on the same pallet?

Yes. Mixed loading places cartons of different sizes on the same pallet and checks that each carton rests properly on those below. Multi-pallet orders are planned by item or mixed.
