Pallets for Logistics and Packaging

Pallet pricing varies by grade, material, dimensions, design, treatment, quantity, and application. Palleton lists pricing as available on request rather than publishing a universal price. Standard, recycled, new, food-grade, custom, oversized, and ISPM-15 heat-treated options can have different requirements. Requesting a quote allows the pallet specification and purchasing needs to be reviewed together.

In shipping, a pallet is a load-bearing platform that allows goods to be grouped, handled, stored, and transported as a unit. Pallets may be standard-sized or custom-built for machinery, equipment, irregular loads, or automated handling. For qualifying international wood packaging, ISPM-15 heat treatment and marking may be required by the destination country.

Palleton offers standard 48 x 40 inch GMA pallets as well as custom sizes for narrow, oversized, irregularly shaped, or product-specific loads. Custom pallet dimensions are reviewed alongside product dimensions, load weight, handling methods, carrier requirements, and shipping workflows. The appropriate size depends on how the load will be supported, moved, stored, and shipped.

Available material options include new hardwood, new softwood, recycled wood, and combinations of new and recycled lumber. Custom pallet programs may also use specified or specialty lumber. Material selection can be aligned with the application, pallet grade, load requirements, budget, reuse goals, and export needs. Recycled pallets may also be inspected and repaired through applicable programs.

Qualifying solid-wood packaging used in international shipping may need to meet ISPM-15 requirements in countries that enforce the standard. Available treatment brings the wood core to at least 56°C (133°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes and supports the required marking. Export requirements should be confirmed for the shipment, destination, packaging type, and carrier.

Yes. Custom pallet designs can be developed for automated material-handling workflows, including conveyors, stretch wrappers, and other specified automation. Palleton reviews the product dimensions, load weight, handling method, and shipping workflow before preparing a design. Drawings and samples may be provided for customer approval when a custom or specialised pallet is required.
