How this calculation works

Pallet height is included in the max loaded height unless you set it to zero. ParcelCal runs the calculation in your browser; no package or shipment information is uploaded.

FORMULA
Cases per pallet = Cases per layer × Number of layers

Pallet height is included in the max loaded height unless you set it to zero.

Worked example

Quick 48 × 40 pallet count

  1. 1.Carton footprint: 16 × 10 in
  2. 2.Best layer estimate: 12 cases
  3. 3.Six 8 in layers above a 6 in pallet

12 × 6 = 72 cases per pallet.
