How many 300 × 200 × 200 mm cartons fit on a EUR pallet?
80 cartons of 300 × 200 × 200 mm fit on a EUR pallet (1200 × 800 mm): 16 cartons per layer, 5 layers within a 1200 mm stack height including the pallet.

Best pattern: Split-Row Interlock
Cartons sit in mixed orientations, the pattern combines both directions. Most rows face one way and the remaining strip is turned 90°, so layers can be mirrored and lock together like brickwork.
Why this pattern here: Straight rows of 300 × 200 mm leave a strip of deck unused, and that strip is wide enough for cartons turned 90°. Splitting the layer this way fits 16 per layer and lets alternating layers mirror and interlock.

Several layouts tie at 16 of these 300 × 200 mm cartons per layer (grid 16, split-row 16, pinwheel 4). The tool selects the Split-Row Interlock pattern because when counts are equal an interlocking layout beats a plain grid on load stability. 5 layers reach 1144 mm including the 144 mm pallet deck, at 100% of the deck footprint.
Prefer stability? The split-row interlock alternative
The maximum-load layout above leaves 4 of its 16 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 split-row interlock fits 14 of these 300 × 200 mm cartons per layer, 2 fewer, and all but 2 cartons per layer rest across at least two cartons below and interlock like brickwork. 70 cartons per pallet at 1144 mm, using 87.5% 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.
