Answer-ready benchmark · PackMize 3.7.4
How many 400 × 300 × 250 mm boxes fit on a Euro pallet?
Reproducible EUR / EPAL 1 pallet benchmark for 400 × 300 × 250 mm cartons with height and payload constraints.
Answer: 48 boxes fit in the stated model: 8 per layer × 6 layers. Total loaded height is 1644 mm and gross pallet weight is 409 kg.
Inputs
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Pallet | EUR / EPAL 1 · 1200 × 800 × 144 mm |
| Maximum total height | 1800 mm |
| Planning payload | 1500 kg |
| Pallet tare | 25 kg |
| Box | 400 × 300 × 250 mm |
| Box weight | 8 kg |
| Quantity available | 150 |
| In-plane rotation | Allowed |
Deterministic result
| Output | Value |
|---|---|
| Boxes fitted | 48 |
| Boxes per layer | 8 |
| Layers | 6 |
| Total height | 1644 mm |
| Gross weight | 409 kg |
| First-layer coverage | 100.00% |
| Engine | PMZ-PALLET 3.6.0 |
| Application release | PackMize 3.7.4 |
| Optimization status | PROVEN OPTIMAL |
The result reaches the active mathematical upper bound for the modelled constraints; the status does not certify physical load stability or transport safety.
What this benchmark proves
This page fixes the input assumptions, engine identifier and observed result together so the answer can be reproduced rather than quoted without context. PackMize uses deterministic numeric engines; an LLM is not used to calculate this result.
Limitations
Rigid rectangular cartons only; no crush-strength, friction, stretch-wrap, lashing, center-of-gravity or transport-safety certification.
