For some types of products, alternating the arrangements of each pallet layer will create a resulting pallet with greater stability. To alternate the levels of a pallet that has been created with Quick Pallet Maker, you start from the list of pallets that was created following the same procedure as the Rectangular Packages into Pallets example.

These pallet arrangements can be obtained using the default dimensions in Quick Pallet Maker.

To alternate the layers in a selected pallet, please select the Alternate Layers option in the menu that is in the middle of the Available Solutions window. Then press Go.

If the boxes on the selected pallet all point the same direction, the Alternate Layers command will create a pallet that mixes these layers with the ones from a pallet in which the boxes point in the opposite direction.

Another option for alternating layers is to select a pallet in which the boxes are arranged in a pinwheel pattern.

Using the Alternate Layers command will rotate every other layer.

Some pallet arrangements will produce a pallet that is identical to the original pallet. Like the pallet with the flipped middle row.

This can be solved by creating a pallet in which the flipped row on one side, instead of in the middle.

Now, when you choose to alternate the pallet layers, the flipped row will change positions and the resulting pallet will gain stability.
