What is Plastic Shipping Pallet

Plastic Shipping Pallets are also often called export pallets, or one-way pallets. These plastic pallets are often single-use, but they are cheap. They aim to transport your products at the lowest cost, making them very popular for international shipping.

Lightweight

Plastic shipping pallet adopts a lightweight structure, easy to handle, reducing transportation costs and carbon emissions.

Nestable

Export pallets are usually designed as nestable plastic pallets, which can greatly save storage and transportation space.

Low Price

Generally single-use, these pallets are relatively low-priced and cost-effective.

Hygiene

Compared with wooden pallets, plastic pallets are moisture-proof, corrosion-resistant, pest-resistant, and less likely to breed mold and bacteria.

Compliance

Plastic export pallets are fumigation-free and avoid regulatory issues related to wooden pallets, making international transportation smoother.

Eco-friendly

Plastic shipping pallet is made of recycled plastic, reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution.

 

Application of Plastic Shipping Pallet

 

 
 

One-time transportation

The supplier uses plastic shipping pallets to deliver the goods to the destination. The pallets are then typically not returned to the supplier but are disposed of or recycled.

 
 

Exporting Goods

In international trade, it may not be cost-effective to ship pallets back to their origin. Therefore, one-way pallets are a common choice when exporting goods.

 
 

Temporary storage

Plastic shipping pallets can be used for temporary storage in warehouses or distribution centers. They can be used to store goods until they are ready for transport or transfer to another location.

 
 

Fast supply chain

plastic shipping pallets can provide faster turnaround time in the supply chain. There is no need to wait for the pallet to return, and goods can be transported to their destination faster.

 

Material of Plastic Shipping Pallet
 

Plastic shipping pallets are typically made from plastic materials such as polypropylene or polyethylene. These materials are strong and durable enough for use in freight and logistics. One-way pallets are typically intended for one-time or short-term use and are therefore made from relatively cheap recycled plastic to keep costs down.

HDPE

HDPE pallets are usually recommended for use in areas or environments with relatively low temperatures, such as Russia, Europe, the United States, and Canada; usage scenarios include medicine, cold storage, etc.
characteristic:
• Flexible
• Translucent/waxy
• Good low-temperature toughness (to -60℃)
• Easy to handle by most methods
• Low cost
• Good chemical resistance.

 

PP

PP pallets are usually recommended for use in relatively high-temperature areas or environments, such as Southeast Asia, Central America, and Central Africa.
characteristic:
• Excellent mechanical properties, higher strength and elasticity than HDPE, and resistance to bending
• Heat resistance, stable to chemical reagents (except concentrated sulfuric acid)
• Polypropylene has excellent high-frequency insulation properties
• Barely absorbs water

 

Craftsmanship of Plastic Shipping Pallet

 

Plastic shipping pallet usually adopts the injection molding process and is formed in one piece.

 
01
 

Raw material melting and injection

The plastic raw material is melted through heating and pressure and injected into the mold.

 
02
 

Cooling and solidification

The plastic is cooled and solidified in the mold to shape the product.

 
03
 

Demolding and quality inspection

Take out the formed pallet, remove the remaining materials, and conduct quality inspections to ensure that the product meets the specified standards.

Plastic Shipping Pallet Usage Precautions
 

 

Avoid overloading

Use the pallet according to its load capacity and do not overload it. Overloading may cause the pallet to deform or crack, affecting transportation safety.

Stack items correctly

Ensure that goods are placed stably to avoid imbalance or excessive stacking, which may cause plastic shipping pallets to tilt or collapse.

Prevent breakage and scratches

When using pallets, avoid scratching or puncturing the pallet with sharp objects, which may reduce its load-bearing capacity and increase the risk of damage.

Keep them clean

Export pallets should be kept clean before and after use, especially when transporting sensitive items. Cleaning prevents the growth of bacteria and ensures the safety of your items.

Correct storage and disposal

After use, the one-way pallets can be sorted and recycled or disposed of properly to avoid excessive burden on the environment.

Avoid exposure to high temperatures

One-way plastic pallets have low resistance to high temperatures. Avoid exposure to high temperatures during storage and use to avoid deformation or damage.
