Pallets
Custom built pallets manufactured to specification
Wooden pallets “move the world” and are a critical element of product packaging and logistics. Pallets facilitate material movement and efficient supply chain and logistics operations.
We have the capabilities to customize both Stringer and Block pallets for your specific unit load size, handling environment, and shipping requirements. In any size, or any quantity.

Tailored pallet solutions for your unique shipping needs
We specialize in custom pallets designed for your specific unit load size, handling environment, and shipping requirements in any size or quantity.
Correctly sizing your pallet is critical: oversized loads can crush outer packaging, while undersized pallets waste costly shipping space and increase the risk of load shift during transit.
We consider construction methods and materials, offering various deck board configurations—including tops, bottoms, spacing, and overhang—to ensure your pallets meet exact specifications. Additionally, we offer panel deck pallets made from plywood or oriented strand board (OSB), providing potential cost savings without sacrificing quality.
Sustainable and recyclable
LPC specializes in designing corrugated packaging for high-value, sensitive, and fragile equipment/products. Our engineers provide complete solutions — from concept to execution — ensuring protection against shock and vibration while meeting your performance, price and presentation goals. We can work with existing designs, or develop new ones, and our design department manages your files for ongoing support.
TYPES
Pallet solutions for your application
Stringer Pallets
A stringer pallet uses “runners” or “stringers,” to support the unit load. The stringers are the boards, typically 2 x 4’s or 3 x 4’s, sandwiched between the top and bottom deck boards.
When specifying a stringer pallet, the length (i.e. the length of the stringer) is noted first, and the width or length of the deck boards is noted second. Stringers may be notched to allow for partial four-way fork entry, thus creating a “4-way” stringer pallet. If the stringers are not notched, it is called a “2-way” pallet, with fork entry only from either end.
Block Pallets
Block pallets are true 4-way entry pallets. They use blocks of solid wood, plywood, or plastic to support the unit load. Between the blocks and the deck boards are thin stringers, which form a mat with the deck board. The length of a block pallet is specified by the length of the stringer board and the width by the length of the deck boards. Block pallets can be designed with or without bottom deck boards, or a full-perimeter base.
Special Pallets
For special shipping or phytosanitary needs, we can help you with plastic pallets, 100% plywood pallets or custom slip sheets or warehouse pallets.
FREE PALLET CHECK
Optimize Packaging Efficiency & Uncover Hidden Savings
A LPC Pallet Check is one easy way to avoid the hidden costs of packaging in your business. We will tell you if your current pallets are the best fit-for-purpose or if there are savings on offer. If you have other custom packaging, we’ll be happy to review them too.
We’ll come to you or organize for a pallet to be delivered to our fabrication facility. One of our pallet designers will then inspect your pallet and get back to you with our findings. If appropriate, we will even give you a new test pallet at our cost for evaluation. The LPC Pallet Check is free and comes with no strings attached.
