When you’re choosing an SPC plank for your next collection, start with the packing your factory plans to use. Enter your plank length, width, board thickness and attached pad in the calculator. You can see how a change affects the pallet layout and the amount of flooring you can ship.
Start with a 22-pallet load
In this 20 ft example, you’re loading 1,220 × 182 mm planks with a 4 mm board and a 1 mm attached pad. The plan uses 22 pallets, stacked up to three high. The calculator shows about 2,931 m² and an estimated gross cargo weight of 25,415 kg. Open the 22-pallet example in the Fake Flooring calculator
Compare your plank options
Change one detail at a time. Try a longer or wider plank and look at the pallet layout. Try a thicker board and check the stack height and payload. For example, changing the board from 4 mm to 5 mm in this scenario triggers both warnings when you keep the same 22-pallet plan and packing. Under Which container?, you can compare the estimates for 20 ft, 40 ft and high cube containers using your current inputs.
Once you have a format and quantity that work for your collection, ask the factory to confirm the packing and loading plan for your order.
