This free calculator helps carton manufacturers, packaging engineers, and logistics planners estimate how many cartons fit on a pallet and inside a shipping container. It checks all carton orientations and respects both dimensional constraints and payload limits.
No. This version uses straight stacking by orientation and returns the best deterministic arrangement. It is useful for quick planning and quoting.
The payload limit can reduce the final count. If cartons are heavy, weight often becomes the bottleneck before volume.
Yes. Enter your actual outer carton dimensions and average filled-box weight for realistic estimates.
