Presswood pallets

Moulded pallets pressed from wood fibre, nestable for storage and transport efficiency, commonly used for one-way movements.

Presswood pallets are formed under heat and pressure from wood fibre rather than assembled from sawn boards. They nest, which means a stack of empties takes far less space than the equivalent stack of conventional timber pallets — a real advantage where empty storage or return transport is a cost.

They are widely used for one-way export movements and for lightweight goods where a full timber pallet is more structure than the load needs. They are not a washdown material: where wet cleaning or washdown is the requirement, that points to plastic rather than presswood. Suitability should be assessed per operation.

Presswood's manufacturing process is relevant to international movements, but the applicable requirements depend on the material's classification and the destination's rules. This is exactly the kind of question that needs checking per consignment rather than assuming.

Typical uses

  • One-way export movements
  • Lightweight goods and airfreight-adjacent handling
  • Operations short of empty pallet storage space
  • Applications where nail-free surfaces are preferred

Before you order

  • Nesting saves considerable space, which can matter more than unit price in constrained port-side warehousing.
  • Whether presswood satisfies a given destination's packaging requirements depends on that destination's rules and the material classification — always check before shipping.
  • Moulded pallets behave differently in racking from conventional timber; confirm compatibility.

Your details

We need your name, a line about what you need, a rough quantity, a postcode, and one way to reach you — email or phone, not both. Everything else is optional, and UNKNOWN is always an acceptable answer.

Give us an email address or a phone number — whichever you prefer. You do not need both.

Where the pallets are going or being collected from. Put UNKNOWN if you do not know it yet.

What you need

A rough description is enough. We will come back to you with the questions that matter.

Plain words are fine — “about 200”, “a lorry load”, “two pallets a week” or UNKNOWN all work.
