Choosing between wooden and plastic pallets
Where timber wins on cost, where plastic wins on cleaning and repeat trips, and what to check before switching.
Timber pallets are the lowest cost per trip for most outbound distribution, are easily repaired, and are available new, used and reconditioned in the largest range of sizes.
Plastic pallets come into their own on closed loops, in wash-down areas and where a timber-free pallet avoids export treatment. They cost more up front and earn it back over repeat trips.
Before switching, confirm the pallet works with your racking, conveyors and handling equipment. We confirm that against the exact specification quoted rather than assuming it from the pallet type.
