Panel Discussion: Successfully Designing Unit Load for Multiple Pallet Types
Tuesday, April 6, 2021
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST
Description
In an effort to streamline costs and meet sustainability targets, the consumer products industry has been using pooled pallets. Historically, the pallets were made from a wood construction. In the last 10 years, plastic pallets have become more common. There is a growing movement in the market to shift to plastic pallets. Both pallet types have their own benefits and features, and our panelists will discuss how to choose the right pallet type and successfully implement the pallets into your packaging systems.
