Learn how to pack heavy items on pallets safely using the right pallet, load pattern, and automation to reduce damage and improve logistics
Did you know that a standard EPAL Euro pallet is rated for a safe working load of about 1,500 kg, with bottom-stack limits up to roughly 5,500 kg in some stacking conditions? International pallet standards like ISO 8611 define how to calculate a pallet’s maximum working load for given support and loading conditions.
Studies show that properly applied stretch film and containment methods significantly improve load retention during distribution. Up to one in ten unit loads arrive damaged because they were not secured correctly in transit.
