Less Product Damage
A pallet that doesn't meet strength-to-weight ratios drains profits when stacks fail.
Lower Shipping Costs
Transport costs increase when your pallet isn't optimized for big trucks or milk runs.
Fewer Accidents
The best pallet saves money by keeping workers safe and lowering compensation claims.
Success Story

Standardizing Packaging Saves 10%
A manufacturer acquired additional manufacturing facilities. Even though each facility produced very similar products, the returnable packaging used to ship these products was different and not interchangeable. Plus, multiple packaging SKUs generated significant inventory duplication and created additional freight costs for the relocation of packaging.
We worked directly with our client's improvement team to redesign, lab test, field trial and implement a cross-functional universal packaging solution. The result was a 10% reduction in packaging cost and the elimination of packaging relocation.
Uncover Lost Opportunities
Our work begins before the product is even placed on the pallet with an Opportunity Assessment.
It's easy to see how less product damage equals increased savings. But, there are many other ways to save. Give us a day or two to learn about your pallet load and handling environment and we'll help identify your best places for improvement including:
Design
We'll help decide if you should start over with a new design or improve an existing one.
Handling
Most damage occurs with forklifts. We look at tine dimensions and measure for clearance.
Transit
Your biggest opportunity to save. We evaluate usable dimensions, footprint, weight and more.
Waste
Returnable packaging saves on waste hauling costs and reduces unnecessary landfill dumping.
Suppliers
Managing multiple suppliers adds cost. We show you how to improve savings with inventory control.
Warehousing
Do you really need a stronger pallet or just some support modifications to your racking system?
