Export Pallets
Export pallets are a type of plastic pallet that are used to ship products internationally. These pallets avoid weight penalties and reduce freight costs by shipping more products per load. Export pallets offer a solution for low-cost shipment and help move packages quickly through Customs. Any industry can use export pallets for shipping; food and beverage industries prefer plastic pallets due to their hygienic properties. Plastic export pallets are exempt from bio-safety inspections and do not require any kind of treatment or coating. They are impervious to acids, fats, solvents and odors, and are resistant to water absorption or the growth of bacteria, infestation, mold and mildew.
Due to increasing import restrictions on wooden pallets, plastic export pallets are becoming a more popular choice for shipment. Plastic export pallets are lightweight, low-cost, and well-suited to minimize weight in transportation, especially for air freight and cargo ships. These plastic pallets also feature a high strength-weight ratio. Constructed of recycled plastic material such as PET, plastic export pallets are 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly. Plastic export pallets are designed much the same as a standard plastic pallet, except that export pallets are fabricated with a flat bottom to ensure stability when stacking.
