Is interlocking every layer always best for retail pallets?
No. DHL explains that column stacking supports carton compression strength, while interlocking can improve stability for rigid contents but weaken some other loads. Select and validate the pattern for the actual cartons and contents; wrapping cannot restore crushed packaging.
What to check next
- Assess compression strength and stability together.
- Avoid an uneven pyramid-shaped top.
