Described only. Tooling shows a carried carton, no release between neighbours. Both need the same actual row.

A section through that row would connect the two questions. Put the complete tool opening and leaving beside the bearing overlay.

Does the placement order leave that opening space available at the last carton as well as the first?

Not shown. I've asked for the placement states and permitted partial loads on the shared revision.

Packaging rejected the present rotated row: its required end-bearing regions cross the shown gaps. The tool designer is assessing an unrotated candidate; that alternative is not approved.

That settles the original row's status. Don't carry its carton count into the alternative before the new arrangement is defined.
