6 per layer × 3 layers (~72" tall)
A 18×18×16" box on a standard 48×40" pallet fits about 6 boxes per layer, stacked 3 layers high within a 72" pallet height — roughly 18 boxes per pallet. Your real number depends on weight limits, overhang, and stacking pattern.

How is this calculated?
Boxes per layer = how many 18×18×16" 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.
