Pallet range

Presswood pallets

Presswood pallets are moulded from wood fibre under heat and pressure. They nest, they are light, and they are widely used for one-way export where weight and storage volume both cost money.

The nesting geometry is the main practical advantage: a stack of presswood pallets takes a fraction of the space of the equivalent stack of timber, which matters where empty pallet storage is scarce — typically on constrained airport-adjacent sites and in city-fringe warehousing.

Because the material is processed wood fibre rather than solid timber, presswood is commonly treated as falling outside the ISPM 15 wood packaging requirement. That is a determination that depends on the material and the receiving authority, so it must be confirmed for your route rather than assumed from a website. Our ISPM 15 guide sets out where to check.

Presswood suits lighter loads and one-way trips. It is not a substitute for a heavy-duty timber or plastic base, and we will say so if the described load does not suit it.

Typically suited to

• One-way export where empty return is not planned
• Air freight consignments where chargeable weight matters
• Sites with very limited empty pallet storage space
• Lighter, evenly distributed loads

What to tell us in an enquiry

• Approximate load weight and how it sits on the base
• Destination and route, so the material question can be checked
• Quantity, footprint and delivery frequency
