  1. How Pallets Are the Warehouse's Backbone Pallets are similar to the tires on your vehicle. Pallets are the point of contact between shipments and various modes of transportation in the global supply chain, where the rubber meets the road.

Pallets are the first line of protection in ensuring that goods arrive in the same condition as they left the shipper. Pallets of better quality can hold more goods per shipment minimize product loss due to damage or contamination, avoid worker injury from overloaded or unbalanced shipments, and save money on things like fuel. Rather than focusing solely on price, shippers should look for a pallet that meets the following criteria: high stiffness, proper strength and size, reliability, cleanliness, lightweight, and low moisture content. Pallets are so common in the supply chain that any improvements to how they operate could have an effect on the entire shipping process. Other types of pallets are being used by shippers to increase warehouse and retail store cleanliness. In addition to actual shipments, one retailer uses hundreds of thousands of plastic pallets every month to pass order pick loads. Shippers are beginning to appreciate non-wood pallets for other reasons, such as reducing the need for consumers to clean up the accumulations of wood debris and loose nails that are inevitable with wood pallets around warehouse and retail store floors.
