TiHi Optimization
What is TiHi?
Ti refers to the number of boxes per layer.
Hi refers to how many layers high the boxes can safely be stacked on the same pallet.
No Overhang
Stack as close as you can to the pallet edge without going over. Overhang reduces stacking strength and can cause damage to your goods. Avoiding overhang allows for better security, creating a more stable pallet.
Column Stacking
Column stacking provides the most stacking strength when palletizing a load of cartons. At times, this method can make the unit unstable due to the sizes of the carton. When this happens, rotating a layer to help tie the unit together is necessary. The rotating layer should be done as high in the unit as possible to give the unit the greatest amount of stacking strength.
