Unfortunately, even though there are pallet-free options, like the EZ Loop™, most companies are forced, by either circumstance or customers, to use pallets. Taking all of the negatives into account, AmeriGlobe has developed a better pallet. A pallet made specifically for bulk bags, the Ex-Pallet™.

The Ex-Pallet™ is a light, plastic-based pallet that is a combination of rigid and flexible components. Since it is plastic it is not a home for bugs or mold so it does not have to be heat treated. The Ex-Pallet™ does not have splinters and is much less likely to damage your bags.

The best attribute of the Ex-Pallet™ is its weight. While a pallet weighs 30-50 lbs, our Ex-Pallet™ weighs a measly 8 lbs. This means your team will be less at risk of injuries from having to move heavy pallets. You also get to take advantage of the huge weight reduction in your shipping. This allows you to basically ship 400 to 2,000 lbs for free.

When your customer is done with the bag, the bag and the Ex-Pallet™ can both be recycled instead of having to pay for landfilling. If your area does not offer recycling, it is less expensive to landfill an 8 lb Ex-Pallet™ than a 40 lb pallet.

Let’s not forget storage. Most plants have large areas reserved for pallet storage. Ex-Pallets™ can take 40% less space. That means 40% fewer deliveries, 40% less warehouse space, and 40% fewer forklift trips to unload them.
