1. Stability: Ensure the pallet can support your product's weight. Common designs include "block" and "stringer" pallets. While stringer pallets are often more affordable, block pallets provide strength with minimal weight.
2. Stiffness: The pallet should resist bending or collapsing when loaded. A pallet might be strong but too flexible to hold the load properly.
3. Durability: The term "durability" refers to the capacity of the pallet to resist sustained use during the process of shipping and handling.
4. Functionality and Compatibility: Ensure the pallet material suits what you're shipping, and it's compatible with your handling equipment. For some exports, you'll need pallets meeting the ISPM 15 heat-treated wood standard.
5. Cost: Ensure you're getting value for money. We'll help you find the most cost-effective option.
