The unitized loads are the major form of the packed product transportation in logistics, and in most of the cases the packages are fixed to the pallet with straps, stretch film or these combinations to avoid the possible damages of products inside. During transportation various physical events such as vibration affect the product-packaging system. The nature of this vibration between the layers of stacked unit is not fully researched and understood. This paper focuses on the different motion of the layers in the unitized load in the function of the fixing modes using laboratory vibration simulations. Therefore, multiple unitized loads were built from the same quality corrugated paper boxes in three layers with various fixing modes to measure each layer motion separately. To carry out the simulation procedure, acceleration and vibration intensity on each layer was observed under sine and random vibration simulation. The recorded data shows, which layer motion is the most disparate from the excited motion, and which fixing variant causes this difference.
