Packaging Systems - Pallet Patterns

We have all experienced frustrating situations where our product has been damaged while traversing the supply chain. Often our first instinct is to look at the package design for a solution. While that may help, the solution may lie in simply reconfiguring your pallet pattern.

In this video blog from Assembly Services and Packaging, we illustrate how modified pallet patterns can be utilized to protect your product.

Its really easy when the boxes are the same size. My work almost never has such perfect sized boxes. We get bigger challenges by shipping items without a perfect shape.

I saw one site said to stack in columns, which while increasing compression strength if you put pallets on top of one another, it makes them weaker when forklift trucks and lorries move them. You are reliant on the strength of the stretch wrap which may suffice for packets of crisps but water or cement bags is a different matter. The site also missed one problem with the column stack is that although putting corner to corner is theoretically stronger from a "straight down" load, boxes can fail in a bending "rickets" type fashion if a side or corner gives out.

It’s all about the layout of the warehouse to get perfect stacking of the pallets

I need more practice my stacks sucked today

[jdrudolfp]

Thanks. It helps to understand the unseen working of forces due to external influence.

I can confidently assert that you can lose upwards of 50% of the stacking strength when using alternating layers. Column stack for strength. Use layer separator pads every nn layers for stability.

That one was easy.
What about when you have hundreds small boxes with different size... what do you do?

[bryanjason]

This is very educative thank you and God bless you

[miamiwax]

are there places that palletize your your shipment for you?

[noraisya]

Brilliant. I am looking for a solution for my palletizing method. Is it possible to let aeration btwn carton?

[chevy]

What, if the boxes are of different sizes?

[pablop]

Overlapping brick pattern is not good... A big key is that at least one face of each box should be available for labeling

Where can I buy the building toys you showed in the video? They are useful for planning a pallet of goods.

[bartoszbodzon]

Question, at 3:38, how would you be able to scan the boxes with the labels facing inside?
Thanks

[hanahjishak]

You guys need to work on your script reading, but still good information.

How do you pack packages that prevail many different size boxes of mail innovation?
It's always like a game of Tetris so packages are always returned

[laurenferreira]

Nice video! I need to translate the names of palletizing patterns (chimney style, for example) and I just can't find them! Can you give a hand or tell me where I can do so? Tks in advance!
