Pallets are not interchangeable. Different grades deliver different levels of performance. Since there are no standard, industry-approved specifications for pallets, consider these factors to make sure a supplier’s pallet specs will work for you.

### Quick Tips

#### Consider These Factors:

**1) Your supplier’s specs. **Make sure they are published, and the same regardless of facility of origin.

**2) The product going on the pallet. **Typically, the more complex the product, the higher the grade needed.

**3) Your retailer customers’ specs. **Retailers have requirements for pallets, so make sure yours fit their specifications.

**4) Your operation’s automation requirements. **Automation is all about standardization. Ensure your pallets work at every stage, from filling to packing.

**5) Your racking system. **Rack design and configuration influences which pallet grade is most appropriate.

**6) Your pallet supplier. **Providers’ pallet nomenclature, specs, and overall approach varies. Ensure your supplier can complete a thorough review of your operation to determine the best pallet recommendation.
