Box Stacking
Performance
The way how your cartons are stacked will result in a varying strength of stability and how
the cartons perform.
Although brick stacking may seem like the best possible stack palletisation for stability,
this method of stacking can actually cause a loss of carton strength of 40 - 60%. In
comparison to column stacking which results in a 0% loss of carton strength.
In terms of stacking on a pallet the most commonly used, depending on the height of
the stack, is utilising both column and brick stacking for the ultimate stability and carton
strength. Trapping column stacked cartons in-between brick stacked as shown in the
image to the right, creates a stable pallet stack whilst evenly distributing the stress points
of the cartons, to help reduce in transit damages.
Choosing the right pallet box stacking
style depends on various factors,
including the type of products you
handle, available storage space, and
accessibility needs. Understanding the
advantages and best-use scenarios
of each stacking style allows you to
make informed decisions that can
improve warehouse ef昀椀ciency and
product safety. Whether you opt for
block stacking, column stacking, crossstacking, honeycomb stacking, or single
deep racking, your choice should align
with your speci昀椀c logistics and storage
requirements.
