Workplace Scenario:
You are a supervisor at BSP Warehouse & Distribution, Inc. Your company provides storage and
shipping services for several vendors throughout the Midwest. One of your primary responsibilities is
to train and supervise warehouse employees. This week you are training Julie, a new employee, on
the packing and loading procedures for outbound shipments. You tell Julie that when customer orders
are received, warehouse pickers use forklifts, hand trucks, and wheeled bins to retrieve the products
from warehouse racks. The products are then brought to the packing zone of the warehouse to be
scanned and packed on pallets. Cases are stacked on pallets in a variety of patterns, depending on
the size and weight of the cartons and other product requirements.
Activity 1: Packing Pallets – Calculating Area

Each time you receive a packing order, you use the weight and dimensions of the cartons and the
other information listed on the ticket to help you determine the appropriate number of cases to safely
stack on a pallet. Most of your orders are packed on standard 48” x 40” pallets. However, some
orders may require smaller size pallets.
First, calculate the surface area of the cases and the surface area of the pallets in order to determine
the number of cases that will fit on one layer of a pallet. Next, check the packing ticket to see how
many cases high the product can be stacked. This information is important because stacking cases
higher than the maximum allowed can result in damage to the products, or exceed the truck height
limit.
The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle: Area = Length x Width
Example 1: Calculate the area for the following cases.
18” L x 10” W x 8” H → A=LxW → 18 x 10 = 180 square inches or 180 in2
12” L x 8.5” W x 14” H → A=LxW → 12 x 8.5 = 102 square inches or 102 in2
Note: Area is always written in square units
Practice 1: Calculate the area for the following cases.
14” L x 6” W x 15” H
20” L x 13.5” W x 12” H
15.5” L x 14” W x 10” H
3
Activity 1: Packing Pallets – Calculating Area Continued
Example 2: You receive a packing order for 120 cases of item #101. The dimensions of one case
are 14” L x 13” W x 12” H. The maximum stacking height for this product is 4 cases.
a. What is the total number of cases you can fit on one layer of a 48” x 40” pallet?
Calculate the area of the pallet: 48 x 40 = 1920 square inches.
Calculate the area of one case: 14 x 13 = 182 square inches.
Divide the area of the pallet by the area of the case: 1920 ÷ 182 = 10.5; thus, 10 cases will fit
on one layer of the pallet. (Note: you will always round down, if necessary).
b. If you put 10 cases on the first layer of the pallet, and you stack the cases 4 high, how many
cases will you pack on one pallet?
Multiply the number of cases in one layer by the number of layers: 10 x 4 = 40 cases. .
c. How many pallets will you need for this order?

Divide the total number of cases ordered by the number of cases you can stack on one pallet.
120 ÷ 40 = 3 pallets will be needed for this order.
Practice 2: You receive a packing order for 280 cases of item #102. The case dimensions for this
item are 13” L x 10.5” W x 15” H. The maximum pallet height for the truck delivering this order is 6.5
feet.
Calculate the area of the pallet:
Calculate the area of one case:
Divide the area of the pallet by the area of the case:
b. How many cases high can you stack this order on a pallet?
Convert the maximum pallet height of 6.5 feet into inches by multiplying by 12:
Divide the result by 15 inches, the height of one case:
c. How many total cases can you load on one pallet?

Multiply the number of cases on one layer by the number of cases high you can stack the load.
d. How many pallets will you need for this order?

Divide the number of total cases by the number of cases you can load on one pallet.

You received the following packing orders. Make all the required calculations to pack the
pallets for these orders.
1. You receive a packing order for 400 cases of item #103. The case dimensions for this item are
12” L x 15” W x 10” H. The maximum case stacking height for this product is 8 cases.
b. If you stack the cases 8 high, how many total cases can you load on one pallet?
24” L x 20” W x 20” H. The maximum pallet height for the truck delivering this order is 7 feet.
c. How many total cases will you stack on one pallet?
15” L x 10.5” W x 8” H. The maximum pallet height for the truck delivering this order is 7 feet.
18.5” L x 12.5” W x 15” H. The maximum case stacking height for this product is 5 cases.
b. How many total cases will you stack on one pallet?
5
Activity 2: Packing Pallets – Calculating Weight
Weight is another important factor which must be considered when loading pallets. Both pallets and
delivery trucks have maximum weight limits which must be followed.
When you receive a packing order, you will check the case weight of the product, the pallet weight,
and the maximum loaded pallet weight allowed for the order. You will use this information to
calculate the total weight for each loaded pallet and verify that the weight of the load is safe.
Example 1: You receive a packing order for 120 cases of item #201. You pack 40 cases each on 3
pallets. Each case weighs 35.2 lbs. and each empty pallet weighs 45 lbs. The maximum loaded
pallet weight for this order is 1500 lbs.
a. What is the weight of one loaded pallet?
Multiply the weight of one case by the total number of cases loaded on one pallet. Add the
result to the weight of the empty pallet.
35.2 x 40 + 45 = 1453 lbs.
b. Is the weight of the load safe?
Compare the loaded pallet weight you calculated to the maximum weight allowed.
Yes, 1453 lbs. is less than the 1500 lb. maximum allowed.
c. What is the total load weight for the entire order?
Multiply the weight of one loaded pallet by the total number of pallets.
1453 x 3 = 4359 lbs.
Practice 1: You receive a packing order for 280 cases of item #202. You pack 70 cases each on 4
pallets. Each case weighs 26.5 lbs. and each pallet weighs 45 lbs. The maximum loaded pallet
weight for this order is 2000 lbs.

for this order is 2000 lbs.
2. You receive a packing order for 240 cases of item #204. You pack 16 cases each on 15
pallets. Each case weighs 43.5 lbs. and each pallet weighs 45 lbs. The maximum loaded
Each case weighs 36.3 lbs. and each pallet weighs 45 lbs. The maximum loaded pallet weight
7
Activity 3: Loading Trucks – Volume and Weight
You explain to Julie that she will need to calculate the volume and weight of each loaded pallet to
ensure that outgoing shipments will fit in the designated delivery truck. Your company uses different
size delivery trucks, depending on the volume and weight of the orders.
The formula to find the volume of a rectangular prism: Volume = Length x Width x Height
Note: Volume is always written in cubic units.
You will need to convert inches into feet before calculating the volume of a loaded pallet. To convert
inches into feet, divide by 12. Round your answers to the nearest tenths place, if necessary.
Example: Your order has 6 loaded pallets, each measuring 48” L x 40” W x 60” H. Find the volume
of one loaded pallet and the entire order.
Step1: Convert the inches into feet. 48 ÷ 12 = 4’ L 40 ÷ 12 = 3.3’ W 60 ÷ 12 = 5’ H
Step 2: Calculate the volume in cubic feet of one pallet. V = L x W x H → 4 x 3.3 x 5 = 66 ft3
Step 3: Multiply by the number of pallets to find the volume for the entire order. 66 x 6 = 396 ft3
Practice 1a: Your order has 12 full pallets and each pallet contains 50 cases. Each case weighs
38.2 lbs. and each empty pallet weighs 45 lbs. The dimensions for each loaded pallet are 48” L x 40”
W x 84” H. Find the volume and weight of one loaded pallet and the entire order.
Step 1: Convert the inches into feet.
Step 2: Calculate the volume of one pallet.
Step 3: Multiply by the number of pallets to find the volume of the entire order.
Step 4: Calculate the weight of one loaded pallet.
Step 5: Multiply by the number of pallets to find the weight of the entire order.
Practice 1b: A 36 foot delivery truck has the following interior load dimensions, 35’ L x 7.5’ W x 7’ H.
The truck holds a maximum of 16 standard 48” x 40” pallets and has a maximum weight capacity of
30,000 lbs. Calculate the volume of the truck.
You use this truck for the order in 1a above. What percent of the truck’s weight capacity would the
order require? To find the percent, divide the weight of the order by the weight capacity of the truck.
What percent of the truck’s volume capacity would the order require? To find the percent, divide the
total volume of the order by the total weight capacity of the truck.
