The Rise of Paper Pallets

 


Many people think wooden pallets are the standard in the logistics industry. Businesses have a multitude of options for ensuring safe and secure shipping and storage.

When choosing a pallet material, paper might not be the first thing you think of. However, there are many ways paper pallets are better than wooden pallets. Understanding the advantages that corrugated pallets offer will help you make smarter logistical decisions for your business.

What Are Corrugated Pallets? If you don’t work in logistics, you might not know what corrugated means. Simply put, corrugated is a term for materials that have alternating ridges and grooves. While this design can apply to different materials, most logistics professionals use the term interchangeably with paper.

Experts make corrugated pallets from paper boards, molding them into ridges that provide structure and support. If you’ve recently packed or disassembled a cardboard box, then you’re already familiar with the material. Corrugated pallets are becoming more popular with companies in various industries.

Paper Pallet Options.

2-way = Designed to be used for applications where forklift entry is only necessary from either side, 2-way pallets are a durable and less expensive option than customized options.

4-way = An economical alternative to custom pallets, 4-way pallets allow maximum flexibility within a distribution or storage environment and provide for better utilization in transit.

Hybrid = Made from corrugated honeycomb, hybrid pallets provide rigidity and stability for heavy loads.

Honeycomb = With endless customization possibilities, honeycomb pallets provide durability for any application.

Corrugated = Excellent for heavy loads, corrugated pallets hold up well in rigorous shipping and warehouse environments.

Specialty = Designed to fit loads that do not conform to standard pallet sizes and shapes, specialty pallets use a variety of components to create an optimal shipping solution.
