Corrugated Pallets
A pallet is a flat transport structure, which supports goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift, a pallet jack, a front loader, a jacking device, or a crane; sometimes, a pallet is inaccurately called a skid (which has no bottom deck boards). A pallet is the structural foundation of a unit load which allows handling and storage efficiencies. Goods or shipping containers are often placed on a pallet secured with strapping, stretch wrap or shrink wrap and shipped. Since its invention in the twentieth century, its use has dramatically supplanted older forms of crating like the wooden box and the wooden barrel, as it works well with modern packaging like corrugated boxes and intermodal containers commonly used for bulk shipping.

Corrugated pallets are a lightweight but highly durable alternative to wooden pallets. Made from heavy-duty corrugated cardboard, they are designed to withstand the demands of your entire supply chain. They also provide a solution to international export restrictions which cover the use of wooden pallets, such as ISPM15 (International Standards For Phytosanitary Measures).
