Abstract. Nowadays, businesses face a fi erce competition. Hence, implementing strategies to achieve competitiveness is elemental. For that purpose, in the logistics fi eld, the proper use of resources is a must. According to several experts, storing and transportation have a high impact in the overall supply chain profi t. Therefore, lowering their impact by increasing effi ciency contribute to a higher profi tability. An effi cient palletizing can cause to easily ship more goods onto a pallet with the consequent savings in transportation and storage. The denominated Pallet Loading Problem (PLP) focuses on fi nding space optimization to load the maximum quantity of packed product onto the pallet.This article presents a literature review of the most prominent approaches with the objective of showing the main characteristics and solution methods proposed by researchers. Thus, the understanding of these solution approaches can help in the development of new strategies or approaches to deal with the palletizing.

En este sentido, en Logística, el uso adecuado de los recursos es imprescindible. El impacto en la ganancia que tienen el almacenaje y el transporte, conlleva la implementación de acciones para contrarrestarlo. Un paletizado efectivo puede contribuir a reducir costos.El Problema de Carga del Pallet (PLP) procura la optimización del espacio del pallet para lograr cargar la mayor cantidad de producto debidamente empacado. El uso práctico y benefi cios del PLP han dado pie a su estudio en la búsqueda de solución.Este artículo presenta una revisión literaria de los principales estudios para mostrar las características principales y los métodos de solución propuestos, generando una base de entendimiento que permita dar sustento a la elaboración de nuevos modelos y estrategias en la solución del PLP.
