Where Plastic Wins
For specific applications, plastic offers advantages wood cannot match.
FDA-compliant plastic pallets that withstand repeated washdowns. No splinters or wood fibers that can contaminate product.
Clean, consistent, and traceable. Meets GMP requirements where wood is prohibited due to contamination risk.
Plastic maintains consistent dimensions and integrity at low temperatures. Wood absorbs moisture and warps in cold environments.
Plastic pallets are fully exempt from ISPM-15 heat treatment requirements. No inspection, no documentation.
Consistent dimensions critical for conveyors and AS/RS systems. Plastic maintains spec under repeated use.
For 50+ cycle operations, plastic often beats wood on total cost. No repair costs, consistent performance throughout lifespan.
