New regulations being enforced around the world on the use of wooden packaging (IPSM No. 15) is creating extra costs for the treatment of wood. Delaying shipments at point of entry as well as huge costs for the fumigation of shipments not complying with the new regulations can cause all sorts of headaches.

Plastic pallets are the answer for a clean, hygienic alternative. We can also design and supply layer pads and slip sheets for a total plastic packaging solution.
Palletworx can supply a large range of plastic pallets or arrange a custom made one to suit your needs. Plastic pallets have many advantages over wood depending on the environment and intended usage. These include -

  • Hygienic and easy to clean
  • Will not splinter or damage goods
  • Eliminates damage or injury from protruding nails
  • Can be left outside without being harmed by weather
  • Will not rot and do not attract fungal growth / mould resistant to most chemicals and oils
  • Can be branded with your company name
  • Freezer / Cool Room friendly. Do not absorb moisture
  • Are not held up in Customs for fumigation
  • Lighter, in most cases, than wood and therefore easier to handle
  • Food safe – FDA approved materials

Industries use pallets in different ways. We would like to discuss your needs so we can come up with the best solution.
