Pallet Functions

• Create mixed pallets for club store display
• Create pallets for knock down boxes
• Create custom pallet patterns
• Automatic layer generation
• Add corner posts, slip sheets, top caps, shrink wraps or straps
• Rotate and choose alternate pallet patterns
• Stacking strength analysis

• Mix Pro - Create Mixed Trays and Mixed Pallets         
  MixPro is a seamless module inside TOPS^®Pro which gives you the flexibility to drag and drop any number of shipcases on to a pallet to create mixed pallet loads for shipment or club store displays. Together with CASY Tray feature, you can create custom trays and use the MixTray to add various items and build special displays.
   

• Knock Down on Pallets
  Knockdown boxes are the 'flat' dimensions of a shipcase. With the knockdown feature, just plug in the erected size of your box and we'll convert it to the knockdown size for you and then show you how to palletize the bundles.
   

• Pallet Database
  TOPS^®Pro comes with a data base of different pallet styles. You can also create new pallets in certain style and size and specify deck board and stringer board parameters.
   

• Create Pallet Patterns
  TOPS^®Pro allows you to calculate from simple to the most complex pallet patterns. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can enter all of your data in an easy to follow sequential format. You can use a host of pre-defined shapes or create a Create A Shape Yourself with the CASY Module.
   

• Create Custom Pallet Patterns
  On your pallet display, use the 'Modify' feature to quickly design custom pallet patterns in TOPS^®Pro. You create the footprint, TOPS^®Pro duplicates that footprint until your maximum pallet height is achieved. Once you're done creating the pallet pattern you can the rotate your layers, add caps, etc.
   

• Alternate Pallet Patterns
  TOPS^®Pro lets you rotate and choose alternate pallet patterns at the click of the mouse. You have the flexibility to rotate each layer of the pallet or even combine two pallet patterns together.
   

• Secondary Pallet Patterns
  TOPS^®Pro can combine pallet patterns for you. Lets say you have one pallet pattern for the first eight layers of your pallet, and you'd like to insert one of the other pallet patterns TOPS^®Pro has generated.  No problem! With a few clicks of the mouse, you're done.
   

• Pallet Add-On Options
  When defining layers, you can add options like slip sheets, top caps, straps and shrink wraps.
   

• Stacking Strength Analysis
  TOPS^®Pro uses the McKee formula along with other factors to calculate Stacking Strength results based on Edge Crush, Ring Crush, or Kellicut answers. You have full flexibility to enter your own paper and board values. You can also "filter" out values for quick reference
