Frequently asked questions
Does the calculator allow pallet overhang?
No. The estimate assumes cartons stay within the pallet footprint.
Can mixed carton orientations fit more cartons?
Sometimes. This calculator compares two uniform upright orientations. More advanced interlocking or mixed layouts can produce a different result.
