How many 400 × 300 × 300 mm cartons fit on a Standard pallet?
30 cartons of 400 × 300 × 300 mm fit on a Standard pallet (1200 × 1000 mm): 10 cartons per layer, 3 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 400 × 300 mm leave a strip of deck unused, and that strip is wide enough for cartons turned 90°. Splitting the layer this way fits 10 per layer and lets alternating layers mirror and interlock.
Pattern comparison
| Pattern | Cartons per layer |
|---|---|
| Grid | 9 |
| Split-Row InterlockBest | 10 |
| Pinwheel | 4 |
Here the split-row interlock fits 10 of these 400 × 300 mm cartons per layer, where a plain grid manages 9 and a pinwheel 4. Turning one strip of the layer 90° covers 100% of the deck footprint, and because alternating layers are mirrored, the load interlocks like brickwork. 3 layers reach 1050 mm including the 150 mm pallet 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.
