How many 300 × 300 × 300 mm boxes fit on a EUR pallet?
300 × 300 × 300 mm boxes of 300 × 300 × 300 mm (also called 30 cm cube boxes) on a EUR pallet 1200 × 800 mm (stacked to 1.8 m) — deck 1,200 × 800 mm, cargo up to 1,656 mm high. Calculated by the Cubestow engine on 2026-09-08.
Boxes may be laid on any side. 68% of the space used, 5 layers high, about 200 kg (20% of payload). Open this load in the 3D planner →

The answer in detail
A 30 cm cube. Cubes have only one orientation, so the answer is pure grid arithmetic — a good sanity check for any load plan.
Boxes are stacked on the 1,200 × 800 mm deck to a total height of 1,800 mm including the 144 mm pallet, i.e. 1,656 mm of cargo. No overhang is allowed in this plan.
The simple grid estimate is 4 along the length × 2 across × 5 high = 40. Here no mixed pattern beats the best uniform grid, so the engine's plan is exactly that grid (40).

Frequently asked
How many 300 × 300 × 300 mm boxes fit on a EUR pallet?
40 300 × 300 × 300 mm boxes of 300 × 300 × 300 mm fit on a EUR pallet (deck 1,200 × 800 mm, cargo up to 1,656 mm high), boxes may be laid on any side. That uses 68% of the 1.6 m³ available and weighs about 200 kg.
How high can a EUR pallet be stacked?
This plan stacks cargo to 1,800 mm including the 144 mm pallet — 1,656 mm of boxes on a 1,200 × 800 mm deck with no overhang, up to 1,000 kg. Many warehouses and carriers set their own limits (1.2 m, 1.8 m or 2.2 m are common), so check the receiving site's rules.
How much does a full load of 300 × 300 × 300 mm boxes weigh?
40 × 5 kg ≈ 200 kg, which is 20% of the 1,000 kg payload — so this load is limited by space, not weight.
How was this number calculated?
By running the Cubestow 3D load-planning engine on the exact dimensions above, allowing all six orientations, stacking with at least 80% base support and the container's payload limit, then re-validating the plan for overlaps, support and weight. Real loads leave room for dunnage, door clearance and uneven cartons, so treat the figure as the practical maximum.
