How are outer packs designed to be stacked?

• A. End-to-end in a single row
• B. Side by side and on top of each other
• C. Diagonally arranged in a pyramid
• D. Only in a spiral stack

Answer: (B)

Outer packs are designed to be stacked in a grid, placing them side by side and in layers on top of one another. This layout matches pallet footprints, uses space efficiently, and provides even weight distribution for stability during handling and transport. It also makes stacking predictable and easy to count or inspect, and it allows handling equipment to access the load from multiple sides. Stacking end-to-end in a single row wastes width and stability; a diagonal pyramid or spiral approach would create uneven weight and impractical, unsafe handling. The side-by-side, layered arrangement is the practical, stable choice.
