What is considered best practices for stacking oversize flat boxes?  

Ideally I would build separate shelves for each flat, eliminating playing "musical chairs" when retrieving flat oversize.  

Practically though with our limited space we have to stack but only go three high depending on materials weight.

The major manufacturers of boxes will make custom boxes for you.
