Picture

In the early 1900s, companies made the switch from wood to corrugated packaging to carry their products.

Since the early 2000s, many companies are making the switch to corrugated pallets, ​moving away from wood completely.

Make the switch.

Let us design the right Ecodek Pallet for your shipping application:

Economical

  • Ecodek Pallets are often less expensive than new wood pallets.
  • Corrugated pallets do not incur secondary costs like wood pallets do.
  • Weighing only a fraction of wood pallets, Ecodek Pallets reduce shipping costs.
  • Nest stacked Ecodek Pallets reduce pallet handling and conserve warehouse space.
  • Wood pallets can hold moisture and necessitate use of a barrier-separator sheet between the load and the pallet to keep the moisture from weakening the bottom boxes.

Ecological

  • Ecodek Pallets replace costly wood pallet handling and disposal with easily accessible corrugated recycling.
  • Odd/custom size wood pallets are difficult to dispose
  • Many landfills no longer accept wood pallets
  • Used wood pallets become a hazardous and unsightly liability
  • Ecodek Pallets are made with 100% corrugated paper and assembled with "repulpable" F.D.A. approved adhesive.
  • GL Packaging purchases its corrugated paper from mills that are certified in the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) and Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) fiber sourcing standards. This ensures that the paper we use is acquired only from responsibly managed and renewable sources.

Export Ready 

  • Ecodek Pallets contain no wood; thereby making them exempt from all export regulations for wood packaging.

Always Available

  • The supply of 48x40 GMA used pallets has become volatile.
  • Used 48x40 pallets are classified in three grades. Grade A, grade B, and Club Store grade. Supplies have become inconsistent, causing many to switch to corrugated.
  • At GL Packaging we inventory truckloads of raw corrugated, ready to be constructed into your company's pallet. Often our customers rely on our ability to construct and ship a truckload of pallets within 1-2 days, allowing their lines to continue operation.

Strong

  • Ecodek Pallets are engineered for the capacity and handling needs of each application.
  • Ecodek Corrugated Pallet can be designed to hold 4 metric tons.

Clean

  • Ecodek Pallets keep your product and facility free from contaminants found in wood pallets.
  • Wood pallets can host infestation requiring the additional cost of fumigation or heat-treating for food grade applications.
  • ur pallets eliminate hazardous material in your warehouse and under your product. Ecodek® pallets are made entirely from new corrugated paper and constructed with FDA approved adhesive.
  • Used wood pallet can contain harmful bacteria. In 2010 the National Consumers League reported that 10% of pallets intercepted and tested contained traces of E. Coli and other bacterias.

Safe

  • Ecodek Pallets reduce the risk of personal injury while handling pallets.
  • The muscle strain, splinter, eye and foot accidents from handling wood pallets along with housekeeping issues cause significant expenses.
  • With an average weight of 9 lbs, almost anyone can safely handle a corrugated pallet without the need of handling equipment.
