Wood Pallets for Export and Shipping

A standard 48 × 40 inch GMA pallet is available for export and international shipping applications when paired with the required ISPM-15 treatment. Export loads do not always fit a standard footprint, so Palleton also provides custom and oversized designs for narrow, irregular, machinery, equipment, and specialised loads. Final dimensions should reflect the product, load weight, carrier, and handling equipment.

Qualifying solid-wood packaging used in international shipping must meet ISPM-15 requirements in countries that enforce the standard. Treatment options include heat treatment, which brings the wood core to at least 56°C (133°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes. The packaging is then marked with the IPPC logo, country code, facility identification code, and treatment code such as HT.

Palleton offers standard GMA pallets, export pallets, oversized pallets, and custom pallets. Designs may use new hardwood or softwood, combo new and recycled wood, or recycled lumber. Custom options can be developed for machinery, equipment, oversized or irregular loads, conveyors, stretch wrappers, automation, and other specified shipping workflows.

Yes. Custom and oversized pallets can be designed for narrow, irregular, or oversized products, including machinery and equipment. Palleton can review product dimensions, load weight, handling methods, carrier requirements, and export requirements. Drawings and samples may be provided for design approval, while heavy-duty and automation-compatible configurations are available where the application calls for them.

Available material options include new hardwood, new softwood, combo new and used wood, and recycled wood. The appropriate selection can be aligned with the application, grade, load requirements, and material preferences. For export packaging, the relevant solid-wood components must also meet applicable ISPM-15 requirements where the destination country enforces the standard.

Palleton provides custom pallet design and specification support, pallet sourcing and tracking, coordinated production and delivery, and ongoing pallet supply programmes. Customers can discuss standard or custom requirements, export treatment, material preferences, and handling workflows.
