What's the first thing you look at when shopping for pallets? If you're like most folks, you answered price. If you give me just a few minutes of your time, I'll show four different ways to save money when you buy plastic pallets.

This post is part 8 of a 10-post series on plastic pallets 101. (Part 7 is all about the benefits of plastic pallets.)
4 ways plastic pallets save
Expert advice from a pallet pro can help you avoid costly mistakes.
Price vs Savings

We're a different kind of plastic pallet supplier. While other companies focus on selling plastic pallets at the lowest price, we set ourselves apart by matching our customers with pallets that deliver the greatest value. That's an important distinction. Let me show you...


4 Ways to Save with Plastic Pallets

  • Reduce Costs
    The headcount on 1 truckload of nestable plastic pallets equals 3 truckloads of traditional pallets. That adds up to huge savings in transportation costs, especially with volatile fuel and trucking costs.
      
  • Reuse Repeatedly
    It pays to run the numbers. If you're still buying pallets on a cost-per-pallet basis, it may be time for a shift in thinking. Cost-per-use can often be measured in fractions of a penny over the useful lifespan of a durable plastic pallet.
      
  • Recycle (2 Ways)
    First, sell back pallets in usable condition for another user to take a turn (or buy used plastic pallets yourself). Then, when the pallet reaches end-of-life, get paid for recycling scrap.
      
  • Return Program
    When it makes sense, getting your pallets back with a reverse distribution program can save hundreds of thousands of dollars - sometimes millions. It’s business as usual for you. We manage the rest.


Price Alone does not Determine Pallet Cost

No one likes paying too much. Using the wrong pallet may be costing more than you realize. Always make sure the pallet you choose can withstand the rigors of your shipping or warehouse environment.
