nonstackable

Won't pile up

Nonstackable describes items that cannot be placed one on top of another for storage or transport.

Chairs, containers, or crates may be nonstackable due to their shape, fragility, or design: The irregular bowls are nonstackable.

In video games and inventory systems, nonstackable items must each occupy their own slot rather than combining into a single stack.
