  1. The heaviest parcels should be on the bottom of the pallet and the lightest parcels on the top.
  2. Parcels weighing 35 pounds or more should not be stacked above 60 inches (including pallet height).
  3. Parcels on pallets must be secure, stable, and able to maintain unit integrity during normal transit and unloading.
