DEFINITIONS
4.1.
Mixed Pallet (Mixed Pallet Load)
More than one part number on a pallet.
4.2.
Brick Stack

allowing corners to rest on side panels instead of corners resting on corners. See Figure 2.
4.3.
Pin-Wheel
A layer of 4 cartons where each carton is oriented 90 degrees with respect to the adjacent corner.
Corresponding panels face outward on each of the 4 cartons. See Figure 3.
4.4.
Blind Column
The column in the center of the pallet that is not visible from the exterior pallet load. See Figure 4.
4.5.
AIAG Labeled Carton
A carton that requires a customer special label.
4.6.
Regular Slotted Cartons (RSC)
All flaps are the same depth and the two outer flaps are ½ the containers width so that they meet at the
center of the box when folded.
4.7.
Full Overlap Cartons (FOL)
All flaps are the same depth and their depth equals the width of the box. When closed, the outer flaps
come within one inch of complete overlap.
4.8.
Pyramid
A pallet that does not have a flat top. See Figure 5.

following pallets.
NOTE
All pallets must be ISPM compliant.
NOTE
Pallets must be palletized per palletization graphic map printed on box top
panels. Shipment must be prepared to desired transportation mod.

6.1.
Stacking of multiple pallets is permissible to achieve the preferred overall Stacked Pallet column height
as indicated in Figure 1 and printed palletization graphic mapping located on top box panels.
6.2.
In all cases; the supporting lower pallet must be FLAT on top before pallets can be stacked per pallet
stack-ability mapping in above Figure 1.
6.3.
Pyramiding shall be acceptable for MIXED LOAD PALLETS ONLY where Flat Top Pallet Loading is not
physically possible/feasible. Only one un-cubed mixed load pallet is acceptable per customer ship-to
location.
6.4.
Brick stacking of cartons on pallets shall not be permitted, unless integrity of load is compromised. Pinwheeling column stacking palletization pattern is permissible wherever carton sizes dictate. See Figure
2.
6.5.
Pin-wheeling palletization pattern is permissible wherever carton sizes dictate to eliminate carton
overhang. Cartons must still be stacked in columns. See Figure 3.
6.6.
Blind columns should be avoided. Where possible, fill center void with spacer sleeves PN 999990-2
(14.00" x 12.00") or PN 999990-1 (6.00" x 4.00") or smaller pallet PN 999689-1 (32 x 30) may be used.
Least desired option is to fill void with cartons marked “EMPTY”. See Figure 4.
6.7.
When palletizing AIAG labeled cartons, the cartons shall be loaded onto pallet with a minimum of (1)
one AIAG label viewable from the exterior pallet load. See Figure 3.
6.8.
Cartons with palletization graphics shall be palletized in accordance with printed carton graphics and
Packaging Specification 107-216.
6.9.
No cartons shall overhang edges of pallet. See Figure 8.
6.10.
When palletizing cartons onto pallet, care must be taken to neatly align all cartons within each carton
column so stacking strength is not compromised. (Carton sidewalls must be vertically aligned in each
carton column). See Figures 3 and 6.
6.11.
All Regular Slotted Containers (RSC) shall be stacked on pallet horizontally with cartons’ bottom panel
facing down, top panel facing up. They may not be placed on pallet vertically (top panel, end panels or
side panels facing down).
6.12.
When palletizing reeled product in Full Overlap (FOL) cartons, the cartons shall be laid flat on one of
their two largest side panels on top of the pallets surface and each subsequent carton. Reeled product
packaged in RSC style cartons shall be oriented with bottom panel facing down, top panel facing up.
See Figure 7.
6.13.
When palletizing reeled product onto the 48" x 48" pallet, pin-wheeling the columns is permissible to
eliminate carton overhang. Each individual carton within a column shall be oriented in the same
orientation. Each carton column shall be rotated 90 degrees to the previously placed carton column.
Carton sidewalls must be vertically aligned in each carton column. See Figure 7.
6.14.
Pallet loads shall be secured via use of stretch film in accordance with Packaging Specification 107205.
6.15.
Maximize space of entire pallet.
NOTE
Rev R
All pallets must be ISPM compliant.
