How it works

Select a pallet size, enter carton dimensions and weight. CargoKit tests all feasible orientations and shows cartons per layer, layers, and total cartons.

Formula

Cartons/layer = floor(pallet L ÷ carton L) × floor(pallet W ÷ carton W)

Worked example

GMA pallet (121.9×101.6 cm). Carton 40×30×30 cm. Best: 3×3 = 9/layer × 6 layers = 54 cartons.
