Packing Pallets

Getting the pallet right helps avoid any additional costs. As charges are based on a combination of volume and weight, packing anything that takes up extra space may make your pallet non-stackable and incur additional surcharges.

Columns ensure maximum strength when stacking. Use a 'bricklayer style' for increased stability if the contents are rigid.

Packages should fit squarely on the pallet, without any overlaps, although we do accept overhanging pallets, packages that fit within the pallet's footprint are less likely to get damaged.

Non-stackable pallets incur additional surcharges. Make sure the top surface is level, resulting in a compact and stackable pallet.

Strapping and/or stretching wrapping is the best method to hold items in place. Wrapping should also include the pallet.

Pallets are stacked for transport. All labelling need to attached to the side and not the top.
