Which Euro pallet to choose
A new Euro pallet has light-coloured wood with no signs of use and suits applications where the cleanliness and appearance of the packaging matter. A used light pallet is fully functional and is the usual choice for warehousing and transport. A used dark pallet has weathered wood and is the cheaper option where appearance does not matter.
Sorting of used pallets
We sort used pallets according to the EPAL quality classification, so every pallet in your delivery is of the same grade.
