Paper pallets are shipping pallets made from paper. Although most pallets are made from wood, new construction methods have improved the capabilities of paper shipping pallets. These pallet are also known as Corrugated Pallets.
Advantages of paper pallets include:
Paper shipping pallets come in corrugated paper (cardboard), partial wood decks or engineered with laminated paper. Many paper pallets use honeycomb decks to improve their load capacity. The world's first actual paper pallet is innovated and produced by easypal, a subsidiary of the Faber Halbertsma Group.
It is believed that the first American designer and manufacturer of paper pallets was Innovative Enterprises, Inc. then of St. Louis, Missouri. In 1992 Innovative Enterprises moved operations to Washington, Missouri. There they continues to provide paper pallet solutions for major manufacturers across the Midwest United States.
