Custom Pallets in Ohio
The logistics of packaging and shipping may not be the most glamorous side of your business but it's an area where hard-fought margins can be easily lost through unintentional negligence and mismanagement. If you are treating pallets as just another line item expense, you could be hurting your company's margins.
BDL Supply is this region’s leading custom pallet supplier. Depending on your needs, a custom pallet or crate may be the best solution. We use state-of-the-art Pallet Design System software to create the best possible product for your specific requirements. BDL Supply gives you top-notch protection, maximizing storage space while providing unmatched durability.
It’s critical for pallet manufacturers to take the time to learn how you plan to use them. To design quality custom pallets for your specific need, the maker needs to know specifics such as load requirements, dimensions of the product to be transported, how they will be transported and where they will be stored, and the equipment that will be used to move them. BDL Supply’s consultants consider more than 30 factors when determining the right custom pallet for you.
Remember that pallets are a core component of packaging and shipping. Buckeye offers pallets in wood (new construction and recycled materials), corrugated and plastic. Each has their own advantages, so using the right material for your unique application is important. The two primary custom pallet designs used are the "block" and the "stringer." The stringer style costs less to build, but it is weaker in comparison. Despite the higher cost, the block pallet is more suitable for a wider variety of handling situations because it provides fork and jack access on all four sides, while stringer pallets only allow partial access if the stringers are notched.
Packaging, including the type of pallet used, along with material handling equipment (MHE) must work together in order to keep product moving down the pipeline. While your people in marketing and R&D work closely with engineers to design the packaging, and MHE designers create detailed requirements, pallet information often receives no more than a mere mention in the spec. That could be a big mistake when you consider how important the pallet is to the mission.
Let BDL Supply be your single source for custom pallet solutions that make your operations more efficient and cost-effective.
