36 x 36 Pallets

The most common standard pallet size in North America is the 48x40 GMA pallet. Other frequently used sizes include the Euro 1200x800mm, 42x42, 48x48, and 40x40. The 36x36 is a popular custom size used when product footprints don't align with the standard 48x40, reducing overhang and cube waste in specialized applications.

Pallet pricing varies based on size, material (wood vs. plastic), condition (new vs. recycled), and order volume. New 36x36 wood pallets typically cost more than recycled options, while plastic pallets carry a premium offset by their longer service life.
