Maximum stacking height

Stacking too high can lead to packaging collapse or instability during transport. The right height depends on product type, box strength and shipping conditions. Boxes have a limited compression strength and may deform over time.
What to consider:
- Compression strength
Can the bottom layer support the total weight without deforming over time? - Pallet type and handling conditions
Pallets stored statically can handle more than those transported dynamically. - Height guidelines
Most transporters set height limits between 180 and 220 cm depending on the shipment method.
Our specialists analyse your pallet loads and optimise every step of the process. Less damage, less waste, lower costs; that’s our promise. Want tailored advice? Call +31 252 245 200 or email info@topa.nl.
Less damage
Proper stacking, safe pallet height and tested packaging ensure stability and protect your products during transport.
Less material
Using the right film and machine settings can reduce film usage by up to 50%. Smart stabilisation techniques eliminate the need for excess materials.
Lower CO2 emissions
Using less film and avoiding overpackaging directly reduces your carbon footprint. Every optimisation makes a difference.
Lower costs
Fewer damaged goods mean fewer returns, less rework, and lower packaging costs. Smart packaging pays off across the entire supply chain.
