Paper and printed goods are unforgiving of uneven pallet surfaces. A warped deck board translates directly into wave-damaged stock, wasted press runs, and unhappy customers.
In printing and publishing, the pallet surface is part of the product quality chain - an uneven deck causes paper damage that no amount of downstream handling can fix.
Printing operations handle some of the most surface-sensitive loads in any manufacturing industry. Paper stock, bound books, magazines, catalogs, and commercial print runs are stacked directly on pallet deck boards - and any unevenness in that surface transmits through every layer of the load. A single warped or cracked board under a pallet of coated paper can cause bowing and wave damage through hundreds of sheets, rendering them unusable and triggering costly reprints.
Florida Pallet Supply's new 48x40 GMA pallets are built with consistent board thickness and proper nailing that keeps the deck surface flat under load. For operations where recycled pallets are acceptable - paper rolls, bulk stock, packaging materials - our Grade A recycled inventory is inspected for deck flatness before delivery. The weight of paper loads is also significant: a pallet of coated stock or a roll of newsprint can approach the GMA pallet's rated capacity, making structural soundness as important as surface flatness.
Florida printing and publishing operations that export catalogs, books, and commercial print internationally need ISPM-15 certified pallets on every outbound lane. Florida Pallet Supply carries IPPC-stamped export pallets alongside our domestic grades.
