What it does
Submit case dimensions, packed weight, pallet spec, and annual volume. The Pallet Pattern Optimiser calculates the optimal stacking pattern (column, brick, pinwheel) for EUR and UK pallets, maximising cases per pallet within weight and height limits — then quantifies the annual freight saving from the improvement at your carrier rate.
Example use case
A manufacturer's current corrugated case configuration gives 24 cases per EUR pallet. The optimiser calculates that a brick pattern at 4×6 orientation achieves 30 cases per pallet — a 25% increase. At 2,000 pallets/year and £85/pallet, this saves £33,000 annually in freight while also reducing carbon emissions per case shipped.
Frequently asked questions
What pallet types are supported?
EUR (EPAL 1200×800mm), UK full pallet (1200×1000mm), CHEP, and half-pallets.
Does it check weight limits?
Yes — both height constraint and weight constraint (1,000kg racked, 1,500kg floor) are checked and the binding constraint identified.
Is there a BCT check?
Yes — the agent estimates whether the optimised stacking pattern is within the corrugated box's BCT specification.
