Nested Stacking
Nested Stacking
Method of stacking empty tapered pails inside each other to save space during shipping and storage.
Nested stacking is the practice of placing empty tapered pails inside one another to dramatically reduce storage and shipping volume. The tapered design of 5-gallon pails allows them to nest securely, reducing the per-unit footprint by up to 70%. This method is standard for shipping empty pails from the manufacturer to the filling facility, maximizing pallet density and reducing freight costs.
