How many 200 × 200 × 200 mm cartons fit on a EUR pallet?

120 cartons of 200 × 200 × 200 mm fit on a EUR pallet (1200 × 800 mm): 24 cartons per layer, 5 layers within a 1200 mm stack height including the pallet.

Best pattern: Grid

Cartons sit lengthwise, long side along the pallet's length. All cartons face the same way in straight rows and columns, like a spreadsheet.

Why this pattern here: 200 and 200 mm divide the 1200 × 800 mm deck cleanly enough that plain rows already fit 24 per layer, so no rotated or interlocked arrangement can beat the simple grid here.

A plain grid is the honest winner for the 200 × 200 mm footprint: 24 cartons per layer, against no feasible split-row and no feasible pinwheel arrangement. The rows cover 100% of the deck footprint, and 5 layers bring the stack to 1144 mm including the 144 mm pallet deck. One caveat: a grid has no interlock of its own, its layers sit in independent columns held by wrap and friction.

Prefer stability? The offset rows alternative

The maximum-load layout above leaves 24 of its 24 cartons per layer stacked in unbonded columns, a carton bonded to only one below rides the stack as a free tower held by wrap alone. If stability matters more than count: a offset rows fits 22 of these 200 × 200 mm cartons per layer, 2 fewer, and all but 4 cartons per layer rest across at least two cartons below and interlock like brickwork. 110 cartons per pallet at 1144 mm, using 91.7% of the deck.

These figures assume the height limit binds at 1200 mm. Weight is not shown here because it depends on the actual carton weight, the interactive calculator also enforces a max payload per pallet.
