Different Pallet Displays

Question: What type of pallet displays can I see when I run Quick Pallet Maker?

Answer: With each box calculation, QPM delivers automatically three different pallet patterns: one with boxes arranged lengthwise, another with the boxes placed transversally and finally, one with the boxes placed to maximize the amount per pallet. Although the last arrangement maximizes the boxes per pallet, you can still get more patterns by selecting a type 1 or type 2 pallet and then using the Optimize command from the central menu in the Available Solutions window. A pallet like the fourth one will be produced.
Pallet Type 1Pallet Type 2
Pallet Type 10Optimized Pallet
Additionally, you can create two more arrangements using the central menu of the detailed report window and selecting Display Box Length and Display Box Width, respectively. Doing this from the Available Solutions window, you can obtain pallet arrangements such as the ones shown in the fifth and sixth attachments.

Finally, you can use the Layer Editor to create practically any pattern.
