How it works

Boxes = products ÷ products per box, rounded up. Spares cover damaged and misprinted boxes. Pallets use your boxes-per-pallet figure; the pallet loading calculator can work that out from the box size.

Frequently asked questions

How many spare boxes should I order?

2 to 5% is common. Order more for small runs, printed boxes or rough handling.

How do I know how many boxes fit on a pallet?

Use the pallet loading calculator with your box size, pallet type and height limit.
