TI-HI explained

What does TI-HI mean?

TI (tier) is the number of cases in one layer on the pallet; HI (high) is the number of layers stacked. TI × HI = total cases per pallet. The notation appears on pallet labels, warehouse load sheets and retailer routing guides.

Why does Amazon FBA need TI-HI?

FBA pallet shipments must declare TI-HI in the shipping workflow, use GMA 48×40 in wood pallets, and stay within Amazon's limits — commonly 72 in total height (including the ~6 in pallet) and 1,500 lb per pallet. Always verify current requirements in Seller Central before shipping.

How is TI-HI calculated?

Enter your case dimensions: the calculator tests grid and mixed-orientation layouts to maximize cases per layer (TI), then stacks layers (HI) up to your height and weight caps, and shows the result as a 3D load plan you can print.
