Frequently Asked Questions

What is a custom pallet?

A custom pallet is a pallet built or sourced to match a specific product, load weight, footprint, storage method, or handling requirement instead of using a standard size. Custom pallets can support unusual dimensions, improve stability, reduce product damage, and fit warehouse equipment more efficiently. Take 2 Direct helps businesses source custom-size pallets alongside new, recycled, heat-treated, and plastic options.
