To find the maximum number of packages/boxes we can fit on a pallet within a limited volume, we need to test each possible pallet stacking pattern and keep the one with the highest package count.
Picture yourself looking at an empty pallet from the top: What are all the possible ways to arrange the packages on the first layer?
Let's begin by describing one of these possible arrangements for a single package.
Assume we first position the package on the top left corner so that its width is parallel to the pallet's width and one of the other sides is parallel to the pallet's length. We keep placing packages next to each other using this orientation until we run out of space on the pallet's width. This is our first row. Parallel to this row, we place an equal row of packages and repeat until we run out of space on the pallet's length. That completes our first layer and is one of the possible arrangements.

Remember, we didn't specify which side was parallel to the pallet's length. By placing the package's width parallel to the pallet's width, we can choose either the package's length or height to be parallel to the pallet's length, with the remaining side parallel to a vertical plane.
We can repeat this thought process and conclude that we have two possible arrangements for each side we choose to be parallel to the pallet's width. That leaves us with six possible arrangements:
Hi, we are just about to send our first pallet into a UK FBA centre. My question is…how heavy can individual boxes on pallets be? The official informtion says 23kg but when we ship boxes into Amazon via UPS the limit has gone down to 15kg because of the current COVID situation. Is it the same for boxes on pallet boxes or is it still 23kg please?
Thanks!
