1、要考慮運輸工具和運輸裝備的規格尺寸：合適的托盤尺寸應該符合運輸工具的尺寸，可以充分利用運輸工具的空間，提高裝載率，降低運輸費用，尤其要考慮海運集裝箱和運輸商用車的箱體內尺寸。
1. It is necessary to consider the size of transport tools and equipment: the appropriate pallet size should be in line with the size of the transport vehicle, which can make full use of the space of the transport vehicle, improve the loading rate and reduce the transportation cost, especially the size of the container in the sea container and the transport commercial vehicle.
2、要考慮托盤裝載貨物的包裝規格：根據托盤裝載貨物的包裝規格選擇合適的托盤，盡量限度地利用托盤的表面積，控制所載貨物的高度。托盤承載貨物的合理的指標為：達到托盤80%的表面積利用率，所載貨物的高度不應超過托盤寬度的三分之二。
2. To consider the packaging specifications of the goods loaded on pallets: select the appropriate pallet according to the packaging specifications of the pallets, maximize the use of the surface area of the pallets, and control the height of the center of gravity of the loaded goods. The reasonable index of pallets carrying goods is: to achieve 80% utilization rate of surface area of pallets, and the height of center of gravity of the goods loaded should not exceed two thirds of the width of pallets.
3、要考慮托盤尺寸的通用性：應該盡可能地選用標準的托盤規格，便于托盤的交換和使用。
3. It is necessary to consider the universality of pallet size: international standard pallet specifications should be selected as far as possible to facilitate the exchange and use of pallets.
4、要考慮托盤尺寸的使用區域：裝載貨物的托盤流向直接影響托盤尺寸的選擇。通常去往歐洲的貨物要選擇1210托盤（1200mm×1000mm）或1208托盤（1200mm×800mm）；去往日本、韓國的貨物要選擇1111托盤（1100mm×1100mm）；去往大洋洲的貨物要選擇1140mm×1140mm或1067mm×1067mm的托盤；去往美國的貨物要選擇48英寸×40英寸的托盤，國內常用1210托盤發往美國。1200mm ×1000mm托盤在全球應用更廣，在也得到更廣泛的應用。
4. The use area of pallet size should be considered: the pallet flow direction of loading goods directly affects the selection of pallet size. Generally, 1210 pallets (1200mm × 1000mm) or 1208 pallets (1200mm × 800mm) should be selected for goods going to Europe; 1111 pallets (1100mm × 1100mm) should be selected for goods going to Japan and Korea; 1140mm × 1140mm or 1067mm × 1067mm pallets should be selected for goods going to Europe; 48 Inch × 40 inch pallets should be selected for goods to the United States, and 1210 pallets are commonly used to send to the United States in China. 1200mm × 1000mm pallets are widely used in the world and in China.
