Pack a Pallet is an app developed for the FMCG, box-making and other industries to quickly and easily optimise a pallet load of cartons or boxes.

Suited to shipping pallet sizes of 1165mm x 1165mm, 1200mm x 1000mm and 48 inch x 40 inch, the app makes it possible to resolve an incorrect pallet pattern or improve on an existing pattern using your phone or other portable device.

It is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

All you need to do is enter the outside dimensions of your pack, height x length x width, then enter the maximum height for the load, including the pallet. Then hit 'next', and at least one option for the pallet pack will be shown. Select the 2D model for the layout on the pallet, or the 3D model to show the bottom layer on the pallet. This model can be rotated for best effect.

The results provide Universal pallet patterns and will identify the number of packs on the pallet as well as the number high. The approximate pallet deck fill percentage is shown also. You are then able to select 'PDF' to display a printable PDF file of the chosen solution, which can be emailed and saved.

The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) says it won’t oppose Lactalis’ proposed acquisition of Fonterra’s consumer and food service businesses, if the bid goes ahead.
