Unlike stringer pallets which have 3 long boards running the length of the pallet, block pallets use 9 solid wood blocks (3 rows of 3) to connect the top and bottom deck boards. This design provides true 4-way forklift entry from any side and significantly higher load capacity than standard stringer pallets.

Stringer pallets use 3 long boards (stringers) running the length of the pallet, allowing only 2-way forklift entry. Block pallets use 9 solid wood blocks in a 3x3 pattern, allowing true 4-way entry from any side - including pallet jack access from all four sides. Block pallets also have higher load capacity and bottom deck boards that protect goods during transport.
While not universally required, block pallets are strongly preferred in pharmaceutical warehousing for several reasons: true 4-way entry reduces handling time and damage risk, bottom deck boards prevent moisture contact, and solid block construction is easier to clean and inspect.
