Tips for Skid Loading and Stacking
• Attempt to follow all carton orientation symbols or verbiage
(e.g., “TOP LOAD ONLY”, “DO NOT STACK”, “THIS SIDE UP”)
• Distribute weight evenly on the skid or pallet to avoid excess weight
being placed on box contents
• Stack boxes squarely on the skid or pallet to the edge (do not overhang)
and corner to corner to maximize compression strength
• Top of skid or pallet must be flat to minimize chances of lost or
damaged boxes (pyramid stacking is unacceptable)
• Place angleboard (corner protectors) along the edges of boxes to
prevent crushing
• Cover the top layer to protect the unitized load from the weather
