How many 800 × 600 × 300 mm cartons fit on a EUR pallet?

6 cartons of 800 × 600 × 300 mm fit on a EUR pallet (1200 × 800 mm): 2 cartons per layer, 3 layers within a 1200 mm stack height including the pallet.

Best pattern: Grid

Cartons sit rotated 90°, long side across the pallet. All cartons face the same way in straight rows and columns, like a spreadsheet.

Why this pattern here: 800 and 600 mm divide the 1200 × 800 mm deck cleanly enough that plain rows already fit 2 per layer, so no rotated or interlocked arrangement can beat the simple grid here.

A plain grid is the honest winner for the 800 × 600 mm footprint: 2 cartons per layer, against no feasible split-row and no feasible pinwheel arrangement. The rows cover 100% of the deck footprint, and 3 layers bring the stack to 1044 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.

No better-interlocking layout exists for this carton on this deck within the computed patterns. Stack it column-aligned, corners over corners, and rely on stretch wrap or strapping for lateral stability.

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.
