A generalized FEA model of wood pallets, measurements of packaging stiffness and the engineering principles of beam on an elastic foundation have been integrated into a model of the static compression interaction between pallet decks and packaged product. How this unit load design procedure can be used to reduce packaging cost, will be demonstrated with examples.
Takeaways: Within unit loads the cost of the packaging is often 10 to 50 times more than the cost of the pallet. It will be demonstrated, how a redesign of the pallet can be used to significantly reduce the cost of the packaging on top of the pallet. Control of the pallet design used, is critical to achieving the 8 to 18% packaging cost reduction.
