Your Spec, Matched to a Supplier

Sometimes standard pallets don't fit. If you need unusual dimensions, heavier construction or special features, custom sizes are available through partner suppliers.

We don't build pallets ourselves. We pass your specs to a supplier in our network, who follows up about design, pricing and timing.

What You Can Ask For

From simple size changes to reinforced designs, here are the options to mention in your request form.

Non-Standard Sizes

When a standard footprint doesn't fit your product, partner suppliers can quote a pallet built to your dimensions. Ask in your request form.

Oversized for machineryCompact for tight spacesOdd dimensions for custom products

Special Configurations

Wing pallets, flush pallets, reversible designs, notched stringers and skip deck patterns are all options you can ask about.

Wing extensions2-way or 4-way entryNotched for forksDouble-deck

Heavier Construction

For heavier loads, a design can use more stringers, thicker lumber or extra supports. Load ratings vary by design; confirm with the supplier.

Material Selection

Lumber choice affects weight, strength and price. Tell the supplier how the pallet will be used and ask what they recommend.

Hardwood for heavier useSoftwood for lighter weightKiln-dried lumber

Heat Treatment

ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets carry the IPPC mark; ask partner suppliers for what your shipment needs. ISPM 15 means heat treatment to a minimum 56 °C core temperature for 30 minutes (HT).

How a Custom Request Works

A typical path from your first request to delivery. Details vary by supplier.

01

Request

Tell us what you are shipping, how heavy it is, and how it is handled. We pass it to a partner supplier.

02

Design

The supplier works out a design for your load. Ask what drawings or specs they can share.

03

Sample

For complex designs, ask whether the supplier can build a sample so you can try it with your product.

04

Production

Once you approve the design and quote, the supplier builds your pallets. Timing depends on the supplier.

05

Delivery

You arrange delivery directly with the supplier, including any repeat orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum order for custom pallets?

That is up to the supplier. Custom builds usually make more sense at higher quantities, so tell us how many you need. For small quantities, a supplier may suggest adapting a standard pallet.

How long do custom pallets take?

Timing depends on the supplier, the design and the quantity. A partner supplier will follow up about what is possible.

Can a supplier match a pallet we already have?

Often, yes. Include detailed measurements and photos in your request form, and note anything you would like to change about the current design.

Can I get drawings of the design?

Some partner suppliers can provide drawings. If you need them, ask in your request form.
