Pallet fit guide
Euro pallet, industrial pallet, and parcel fit basics
A practical guide to common pallet dimensions and how parcel length, width, height, and stackability affect pallet planning.
Short answer
A Euro pallet is usually 80 x 120 cm. An industrial pallet is usually 100 x 120 cm. Parcel fit depends on the parcel footprint, rotation, quantity, stackability, and the maximum pallet height allowed for the shipment.
Common pallet dimensions
These sizes are common in European road freight, but site and carrier requirements can still vary.
- Euro pallet: 80 x 120 cm.
- Industrial pallet: 100 x 120 cm.
- Custom base: any footprint agreed for the goods.
Why height matters
A parcel layout that looks good from above can still fail if the stacked height is too high for the vehicle, the goods, or the consignee’s handling rules. For many planning checks, a height cap is as important as length and width.
What Jaly's parcel calculator does
The parcel calculator lets you enter manual parcel lines, choose an 80 x 120, 100 x 120, or custom base, and set a height limit. It estimates how many parcels fit per pallet and how many pallets the shipment needs.
