4 per layer × 5 layers (~72" tall)
A 24×18×12" box on a standard 48×40" pallet fits about 4 boxes per layer, stacked 5 layers high within a 72" pallet height — roughly 20 boxes per pallet. Your real number depends on weight limits, overhang, and stacking pattern.
| Box size | Pallet | Per layer | Layers | Boxes / pallet |

How is this calculated?
Boxes per layer = how many 24×18×12" 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.
