Benefits of Slip Sheets vs. Pallets

Cost: Slip sheets reduce acquisition costs.  Solid fiber slip sheets are six to twelve times less costly than wooden pallets.

Transportation Cost: Slip sheets reduce transportation costs. 100+ slip sheets fit in the space of 1 pallet. A slip sheet weighs approximately two pounds. A wooden pallet weighs approximately sixty pounds.

Labor Cost: If you load your trailers by hand (floor loading) the use of slip sheets will drastically reduce your labor costs by automating the loading function. It will take three employees six hours to floor load a trailer.  This is a total of 18 hours. In comparison, it will take one employee ½ hour to load a trailer using slip sheets.

Storage Cost: Slip sheets will free up warehouse space. 150 slip sheets will fit in the same space as one wooden pallet.

Administrative Cost: Slip sheets will reduce administrative costs. A slip sheet is disposable and serves the purpose of transporting one unitized load to its destination. This eliminates the headache of tracking your wooden pallets, arguing with customers over disappearing pallets, and paying to return and repair used pallets.

Employee Injuries: Slip sheets ensure a safer work environment by avoiding needless injuries due to lifting heavy wooden pallets. Wooden pallets often have protruding nails and splinters that cause injuries.

Insect & Rodent Problems: Slip sheets help eliminate rodent and insect infestation. Wooden pallets offer a home to insects and rodents. Slip sheets afford no such food or shelter to pests and critters.

Environmentally Friendly: Slip sheets are manufactured from paperboard, a renewable resource. Slip sheets are fully recyclable through common wastepaper outlets and have a monetary wastepaper value. Slip sheets do not fill up landfills and meet export pallet platform restrictions.
