Heat Treated Wooden Pallets

Our heat treated pallets are sourced from responsibly managed resources, supporting sustainable business practices while delivering on strength and reliability. Their heat treatment makes them a significantly safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to methyl bromide for pest control.

Made from high-quality timber, these pallets are designed for reuse, offering cost savings by extending their lifespan and reducing replacement needs.

They are kiln dried and heat treated for strict compliance with ISPM15 shipping standards (view heat treated certificate), making them perfect for global shipping. Possessing a four-way forklift or pallet truck entry, these pallets make easy work of transporting goods from one place to another as well as being easy to load and unload.

Presswood Pallets

Made by pressing saw dust and processed, recycled wood chips into shape under high pressure and temperatures, presswood pallets are ISPM15 compliant thanks to their manufacturing process and require no further treatment to be exported worldwide.

Lightweight and cost-effective to transport, their nestable design saves space in storage and transit. With rounded edges for easy shrink wrap application and a nail-free construction, they provide a safe and efficient handling solution.

As an environmentally friendly choice, they are made from 100% PEFC-certified wood, supporting sustainable forest management.

Plastic Pallets

As the UK’s largest packaging distributor, we offer an extensive range of plastic pallets alongside our wooden options.

Our nestable plastic pallets are lightweight and space-saving, ideal for freight and logistics, with up to 2,880 units fitting into a single truck when nested. They help reduce shipping costs and are made from 100% recycled materials, ensuring full recyclability.

For heavy loads, our rackable plastic pallets are a strong and durable choice, perfect for global exports. Their heavy-duty construction offers impact resistance, reducing damage and extending their lifespan. With rounded edges and recessed areas for labelling, they are easy to handle and help businesses save on replacement costs.

What Are Pallets Used For?

While pallets have many applications across various industries, including furniture production and other woodworking projects, they are primarily used for the efficient handling, storage and transportation of large quantities of goods. By providing a stable platform for securing units, pallets streamline the movement of goods. When it comes to imports and exports, pallets allow for the simplified passage of goods through customs, reducing handling costs significantly.

Meanwhile, when used for storage and warehousing, many pallets facilitate the efficient use of vertical space, helping to maximise on storage capacity by enabling stacking or use in conjunction with warehouse racking.

What is the Cost of a Wooden Pallet?

The cost of a wooden pallet depends on its size, load capacity, and duty grade. A half euro skeleton pallet costs £4.97 per unit when ordering one to four packs. Since each pack contains five units, the total cost is £24.83 per pack. Bulk discounts significantly reduce costs, with prices dropping to £3.03 per unit when ordering 48 stacks or more.

Larger and stronger pallets come at a higher price. For example, a half euro wooden pallet, which supports a higher load capacity of 1000kg compared to the half euro skeleton pallet's 750kg, costs £7.03 more per unit when ordering one to four packs.

How Expensive is a Pallet?

The cost of a pallet depends on the material. Pallets made from wood have a lower upfront cost due to cheaper raw materials, making them a cost-effective choice for many businesses. However, long-term considerations play a key role in determining overall value. Plastic alternatives, while initially more expensive, are more resistant to moisture, pests, and rough handling, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Should You Buy Used Wooden Pallets?

While wooden pallets are designed to be reusable, they naturally wear over time and choosing used pallets or even reconditioned pallets can mean compromising on strength and quality. For businesses needing a dependable, high-performance solution, new wood pallets offer better load-bearing capacity and durability. With bulk discounts available, investing in new pallets is an affordable and cost-effective choice.
