1、要考虑运输工具和运输装备的规格尺寸：合适的托盘尺寸应该符合运输工具的尺寸，可以充分利用运输工具的空间，提高装载率，降低运输费用，尤其要考虑海运集装箱和运输商用车的箱体内尺寸。
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、要考虑托盘装载货物的包装规格：根据托盘装载货物的包装规格选择合适的托盘，尽量限度地利用托盘的表面积，控制所载货物的高度。托盘承载货物的合理的指标为：达到托盘80%的表面积利用率，所载货物的高度不应超过托盘宽度的三分之二。
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、要考虑托盘尺寸的通用性：应该尽可能地选用标准的托盘规格，便于托盘的交换和使用。
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、要考虑托盘尺寸的使用区域：装载货物的托盘流向直接影响托盘尺寸的选择。通常去往欧洲的货物要选择1210托盘（1200mm×1000mm）或1208托盘（1200mm×800mm）；去往日本、韩国的货物要选择1111托盘（1100mm×1100mm）；去往大洋洲的货物要选择1140mm×1140mm或1067mm×1067mm的托盘；去往美国的货物要选择48英寸×40英寸的托盘，国内常用1210托盘发往美国。1200mm ×1000mm托盘在全球应用更广，在也得到更广泛的应用。
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.
