Can pallets be stacked?
Yes, pallets can be double stacked. The requirements are that pallets must be stacked in interlock formation with no overhang of cartons. The heaviest cartons should be placed at the bottom, and pallets should have a square and flat roof for stability and safety. For international shipments, packing a square and flat roof is particularly important to allow for double stacking.
