CREMINELLIS BOX

Our Goal
Our groups goal for this project was to maximize
the amount of salami containers we could stack
onto a 42x36 pallet with a maximum height of 55
inches.
We had to figure out how we could stack the
containers efficiently and effectively and which
container designs were easiest to stack.

Volume: in.
(3)(4.5)9
=121.5
+(3)(4.5)(9)
=182.25 in^3

Design 3 has the least amount of volume, so we

decided to use it in our pallet configurations.

Our Results
We can fit a total of 288 boxes onto our pallet.
9 high, 8 wide, 4 deep.
Because of how we stacked the boxes, we lose a total of
2047.68 inches.
There was about .66 in. left over at the back of the pallet.
We multiplied that by the height and width of the pallet
to determine the total amount (1318.68 in.) We then
figured out how much space was wasted on the sides so
we took the regular area of a box (182.25) and divided it
in half which gave us 91.125. We then multiplied by
1318.68 which gave us 2047.68 inches lost.

Conclusion
We decided that Design 3 was best for
maximizing the amount of boxes used
because it had the smallest volume.
We believe that that space lost was
overall minimal because of the large
amount of boxes we were still able to
fit.
