Divide millimetres by exactly 25.4 to convert to inches. For example, 1200 × 800 mm is approximately 47.24 × 31.50 in.

Market, terminology and context
Displayed hundredths are useful for reading but do not imply a real pallet has been measured to hundredths of an inch.
Method and calculation
Convert each side separately, retain full precision for calculations and round only the displayed result.
Worked example
1200 ÷ 25.4 = 47.244094... and 800 ÷ 25.4 = 31.496063.... Displaying 47.24 × 31.50 keeps the record readable.
What remains variable
Where clearance is tight, measure the actual pallet rather than relying on a nominal conversion.
