Mixed Palletizing

Build mixed pallets from your box list. Pick the footprints you ship on, set the load height above the deck, and let the optimizer stack them.

Pallet Footprints

The first step lists pallet footprints grouped by region. Pick the ones you ship on and set a quantity per entry. The optimizer fills them in the order they appear.

Pallets You Can Pick From

Sizes below are shown in millimetres. In the wizard they follow the unit system you picked in your settings.

Region	Pallet	Length	Width
Europe	EPAL / EUR 1	1200	800
Europe	EPAL 2	1200	1000
Europe	EPAL 6 (half)	800	600
Europe	Display (quarter)	600	400
North America	GMA 48x40	1219	1016
North America	48x48 drum	1219	1219
Asia	JIS T11	1100	1100
Oceania	Australia	1165	1165

Your Own Footprint

Shipping on something the list does not have? Enter the length and the width yourself and give the entry a name so you can tell it apart later. A custom footprint behaves exactly like a catalogue one.

Load Height Above the Deck

A pallet has no height of its own, so you set one per entry. The load height is the space above the pallet deck that your boxes may fill. Take it from whatever limits you in practice: your racking, a doorway, or the roof of the trailer the pallets travel in.

What You Enter Per Pallet

Field	Metric	Imperial	Description
Length	mm	in	The long side of the footprint. A EUR 1 pallet reads 1200.
Width	mm	in	The short side of the footprint. A EUR 1 pallet reads 800.
Load height	mm	in	The space above the deck your boxes may fill. Boxes are never planned above this line.
Quantity	-	-	How many pallets of this entry to build.

Load Height and Total Height

You enter the space above the deck, and the wizard shows the height of the finished unit next to it, pallet included. Two pallets with the same footprint that need different heights are two entries, each with its own load height.

Pallet Options

The options step has nothing to set yet, and that is on purpose. Boxes are stacked from the bottom up, one complete floor at a time, which is how a pallet gets built. Centering the mass is a vehicle concern, so it does not apply here.

Pallet Overhang Is On the Way

Letting boxes hang past the footprint by a margin you set is the next thing we are building here. You can register interest on this step and we will let you know when it ships.

The Five Steps

Both wizards run the same five steps. Two of them differ: the first step asks for pallets instead of carriers, and the options step has nothing to set. If you know one, you know the other.

Step	Pallet wizard	Load wizard
1	Pallets	Carriers
2	Boxes	Boxes
3	Pallet options	Configuration
4	Calculate	Calculate
5	Export	Export

What Works Exactly As It Does for Loads

Your box list, the 3D viewer, Edit Mode with its staging panel, the placement instructions, the Excel import and export, and share links all treat a pallet the way they treat any other carrier. One thing worth knowing: a spreadsheet does not record which wizard it came from, so a workbook full of trailers imported here arrives as custom pallet footprints.

Boxes

Every field in the box list, and which rotations you can allow.

Excel Import and Export

A pallet is recognised by its footprint on import, and the load height in the file is kept as you entered it.

Which plans include it

Mixed palletizing is part of the paid plans. If your plan does not include it yet, the palletizing page shows you how to change that.

Next Steps

Once a pallet is built you can move boxes by hand, pull one onto the staging panel, and drop it back where you want it.
