Comment ça marche

Il s'agit d'une estimation de grille uniforme : chaque carton d'une couche utilise la même orientation. Il ne s’agit pas d’un modèle mixte ou d’un plan de stabilité des palettes.

Comment l'utiliser : pick a standard pallet preset or enter a custom footprint, then enter the carton's footprint and height and the maximum stack height you're allowed to load to. The layout, per-layer count, layer count and total update immediately. Editing either pallet dimension by hand switches the preset back to "Custom".

Formule. The tool builds two candidate grids - cartons placed "normal" and cartons rotated 90° in plan - and keeps whichever fits more per layer:

Normal : cols = sol (palletteW / cartonW), lignes = sol (palletteL / cartonL)
Rotation : cols = sol (palletteW / cartonL), lignes = sol (palletteL / cartonW)

Quelle que soit la grille ayant le niveau le plus élevé colonnes × lignes est utilisé comme nombre par couche (les liens conservent l'orientation normale). Les couches et le total découlent alors de la limite de hauteur :

couches = sol (maxLoadHeight / cartonH) et nombre total de cartons = par couche × couches

Exemple travaillé. With the defaults (1000×1200 mm pallet, 300×400×250 mm cartons, 1500 mm max height): normal grid = floor(1000/300)=3 × floor(1200/400)=3 = 9 per layer; rotated grid = floor(1000/400)=2 × floor(1200/300)=4 = 8 per layer. 9 is larger, so the normal orientation is used. Layers = floor(1500/250) = 6, giving a total of 9 × 6 = 54 cartons.

Limites

This tool compares exactly two layouts - a uniform normal grid and a uniform 90°-rotated grid - it is not a mixed-orientation nesting optimizer. Real pallet patterns sometimes interlock rows in different orientations (pinwheel patterns, for example) to use space this tool can't find.

Every layer uses the same full-height carton and the same grid; there is no partial layer, no brick-bonding between layers for stability, and no allowance for stretch-wrap thickness, corner boards, or a slip sheet. If the maximum height isn't an exact multiple of carton height, the leftover space above the last full layer is simply unused.

It does not check pallet weight rating, load overhang beyond the pallet edge, carton crush strength under stacking, or any transport/handling code - treat the result as a starting footprint, not a certified load plan. The presets list common nominal footprints; confirm your actual pallet's dimensions, as real pallets vary by supplier and condition.

Questions fréquemment posées

Why would rotating the cartons fit more per layer?

Rotating changes which carton dimension lines up with which pallet dimension. When the pallet and carton aren't proportional to each other, one orientation often wastes less edge space than the other - the tool checks both and keeps whichever packs tighter.

Can I mix orientations within one layer?

Not with this tool - it only evaluates uniform grids where every carton in the layer faces the same way. Mixed or interlocked patterns can sometimes beat both options shown here, but they need to be laid out by hand or with a dedicated packing tool.

Why is my total lower than I expected from the pallet volume?

Layers are counted as floor(maxLoadHeight / cartonH) - only whole, full-height layers count. If your maximum height isn't an exact multiple of the carton height, the leftover headroom above the last complete layer is not used in the total.
