What to Specify in a Request
Custom sizes through partner suppliers. These details help them quote.
Size & Dimensions
Give the length, width and any height limit for your pallet
Materials
Choose softwood, hardwood or plastic. Plastic resists moisture, while wood is easier to repair
Other Details
Mention any marking or colour coding so a partner supplier can say what is possible
Why Custom Pallets?
Sometimes standard sizes do not fit. A custom size can suit your product, equipment and storage.

Where Custom Sizes Are Used
Custom sizes are common where products do not fit a standard footprint
Design Details to Consider
General pallet design factors worth thinking through before you send a request.
Lumber Choice
Softwood is lighter. Hardwood is denser and heavier.
Load
State the weight, the footprint and how the load sits. A partner supplier can confirm whether a design suits it.
Fork Access
Choose 2-way or 4-way entry to match your forklifts, pallet jacks and racking.
Stringer or Block
Stringer pallets use long boards between the decks. Block pallets use blocks, which usually allow 4-way entry.
Heat Treatment
For export, ask for ISPM 15 heat treatment: 56 C core temperature for 30 minutes, marked with the HT stamp. Check current regulations for your destination.
Wood or Plastic
Plastic resists moisture and washes easily. Wood is easier to repair and is the more common choice.

Reuse and Material Choices
Worth considering when you plan a custom pallet.
Reuse Where It Fits
Reusing a pallet avoids building a new one, so ask whether a used or resized pallet could work.
Repair
Damaged wood pallets can often be repaired rather than replaced.
Recycling
Wood from pallets past repair can go to uses such as mulch or biomass fuel.
