How to calculate pallet cube utilization
Pallet cube utilization measures what percentage of a pallet's available cubic volume is actually being used — a shipping and storage efficiency metric.
How the calculation works
Utilization = (Used cubic volume ÷ Available cubic volume) × 100.
Example
32 cubic feet used out of 40 cubic feet available: (32÷40)×100 = 80%.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Pallet Cube Utilization
- Higher cube utilization generally reduces the number of pallets (and shipping cost) needed for a given amount of product.
- Product shape and stackability sometimes limit achievable utilization below 100%, even with careful packing — irregular shapes leave more unused space.
Common Pallet Cube Utilization Mistakes to Avoid
- Expecting 100% cube utilization is realistically achievable for all product types, when irregular shapes and stacking constraints often leave some unused space.
