Contact your packaging supplier or a packaging consultant for assistance. Stacking A Pallet: To maximize carton strength, stack the pallet vertically, secure cartons to the pallet with banding, shrink-wrap, stretch-wrap or breakaway adhesive, Place cartons squarely on the skid with no overhang, be sure the top surface is flat, add sheets of cardboard between layers for additional strength.
