ISO 6780 defines six pallet sizes. The most common regional standards are North America's GMA pallet (48×40 in / 1219×1016 mm), Europe's EPAL Euro pallet (1200×800 mm), Asia's 1100×1100 mm, and Australia's 1165×1165 mm.
Pallet footprints are specified length × width (top-down). ISO 6780 defines six sizes.

A spec table only helps if the buyer reads it. Many don't — shoppers routinely try to judge a product's size straight from the images, and wrong size or fit is the most-cited reason things get returned. The fix is to mark the real dimensions on the photo itself, where the buyer is already looking.
SizeMarker snaps dimension lines to the pallet's edges and exports at Amazon or Alibaba size, so the measurement is accurate and legible — not a guess typed over the picture. That answers the size question up front and cuts pre-sale questions and size-driven returns.

For the US/Canada use the GMA pallet, 48×40 in (1219×1016 mm); for the EU use the EPAL Euro pallet, 1200×800 mm. Matching the destination standard avoids re-palletizing and rack-fit problems.
1200×800×144 mm (47.24×31.50×5.67 in). It weighs about 25 kg and is rated for roughly 1,500 kg dynamic and up to 4,000 kg static load, per EN 13698-1 / EPAL.

Every figure on this page is traced to a named source, linked under each table. Standard sizes come from published standards and established industry references; where a size is a typical range or varies by manufacturer, we say so. Sizes vary by region, model and revision — treat these as the standard reference, and confirm the exact spec of the item you are selling.
