Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about custom pallet development.
What is the minimum order for custom pallets?
Our minimum order for custom pallets is typically 50 units. For highly specialized designs or prototypes, we can accommodate smaller quantities with adjusted pricing. High-volume orders receive significant discounts.
How long does custom pallet development take?
Simple modifications to standard designs can be completed in 1-2 weeks. Complex custom designs requiring prototyping typically take 3-4 weeks from initial consultation to first delivery. Rush production may be available for urgent needs.
Can you match pallets from another supplier?
Yes! Provide us with a sample or detailed specifications, and we can manufacture pallets to match. We can also improve upon existing designs if you have identified issues with your current pallets.
Do you provide engineering support for complex requirements?
Absolutely. Our team has extensive experience designing pallets for challenging applications. We can calculate load requirements, recommend materials, and engineer solutions for unique needs.
Can custom pallets be heat treated for export?
Yes, all our custom pallets can be heat treated to ISPM 15 standards for international shipping. We will ensure proper treatment and apply the official IPPC certification stamp.
What information do you need to quote a custom pallet?
To provide an accurate quote, we need: dimensions (length, width, height), expected load weight, preferred wood type, entry type required, quantity needed, and any special features or requirements. The more detail you provide, the more accurate our quote.
Can I order a sample before committing to a large order?
Yes, we recommend prototyping for new designs. We can produce a small quantity (typically 1-10 pallets) for testing before full production. Prototype costs are often credited toward larger orders.
Do you offer recurring production for custom designs?
Yes, once we have established your custom specifications, we can set up recurring production schedules. Many customers have standing orders with regular delivery schedules.
