Wood or plastic, which pallet material suits your business best?

Wooden pallets are cost effective, recyclable and widely accepted for international shipping. Plastic pallets are durable, easy to clean and often preferred for food and pharmaceutical use.

Not sure which is right for your operation? We can help you weigh up the options.

🍂 As the weather turns, how you store your pallets matters more than you might think.

Damp conditions can weaken timber over time, so keeping pallets covered and off wet ground makes a difference to how long they last.
