12×12×12" boxes on a 48×40" pallet ·
12 per layer × 5 layers (~72" tall)
A 12×12×12" box on a standard 48×40" pallet fits about 12 boxes per layer, stacked 5 layers high within a 72" pallet height — roughly 60 boxes per pallet. Your real number depends on weight limits, overhang, and stacking pattern.
| Box size | Pallet | Per layer | Layers | Boxes / pallet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12×12×12" | 48×40" | 12 | 5 | 60 |

How is this calculated?
Boxes per layer = how many 12×12×12" footprints tile a 48×40" pallet; layers = 66" usable height (72" minus a ~6" pallet) divided by the box height, taking the best orientation. Multiply for boxes per pallet.
