Only [[stack inserter]]s, [[big mining drill]]s and [[recycler]]s can create belt stacks. All inserters can pick individual items from stacks. Items stacked in this way do not become single "bundled" items. These stacks exist only on belts.

	[[Stack inserter (research)]] ~~introduces a baseline~~ stack size of 2~~, doubling~~ the ~~throughput compared~~ to ~~non-stacked belts~~.		The prerequisite [[Stack inserter (research)]] increases stack size on belts from 1 to 2. Transport belt capacity research increases the stack size on belts to 3 and then 4.
