How many 600 × 400 × 300 mm cartons fit on a Standard pallet?

12 cartons of 600 × 400 × 300 mm fit on a Standard pallet (1200 × 1000 mm): 4 cartons per layer, 3 layers within a 1200 mm stack height including the pallet.

Best pattern: Pinwheel

Cartons sit in mixed orientations, the pattern combines both directions. Four cartons rotate around the center like a windmill, using space that straight rows would strand.

Why this pattern here: The carton's length plus width is 1000 mm, which fits inside both the 1200 mm and 1000 mm deck edges, so four cartons can rotate around the center and reclaim space that straight rows would leave stranded.

Pattern comparison

Several layouts tie at 4 of these 600 × 400 mm cartons per layer (grid 4, split-row 4, pinwheel 4). The tool selects the Pinwheel pattern because when counts are equal an interlocking layout beats a plain grid on load stability. 3 layers reach 1050 mm including the 150 mm pallet deck, at 80% 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.
