How many 250 × 200 × 150 mm cartons fit on a Standard pallet?

168 cartons of 250 × 200 × 150 mm fit on a Standard pallet (1200 × 1000 mm): 24 cartons per layer, 7 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 250 × 200 mm leave a strip of deck unused, and that strip is wide enough for cartons turned 90°. Splitting the layer this way fits 24 per layer and lets alternating layers mirror and interlock.

Several layouts tie at 24 of these 250 × 200 mm cartons per layer (grid 24, split-row 24, 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. 7 layers reach 1200 mm including the 150 mm pallet deck, at 100% of the deck footprint.

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.
