Greetings pallet lovers! In this post, we’ll explore some real-world examples of how we have worked with our customers to identify custom pallet solutions that have reduced costs, optimized warehouse space, and increased shipping efficiencies.
Case Study 1: Maximizing Warehouse Efficiency
Custom Pallet Solution: 48x32 Recycled Pallet
Industry: Home Decor
Use Case: Optimized for warehouse racking
Outcome: To better utilize limited storage space, Valleywood created a custom 48x32 recycled pallet specifically designed to fit more efficiently in racking systems compared to the standard 48x40 pallets. This allowed our customer to maximize space, streamline their warehouse layout, and increase efficiency.
Case Study 2: Cost Savings and Performance Gains
Custom Pallet Solution: 96x30 Combo Pallet
Industry: Flooring
Use Case: LTL shipments for oversized products
Outcome: Our customer needed a pallet for oversized flooring shipments, which frequently led to high transportation costs and occasional surcharges. We redesigned a 96x30 combo pallet that balanced strength and cost-effectiveness, leading to reduced shipping expenses while maintaining product integrity during transport.
Case Study 3: Avoiding Excess Costs
Custom Pallet Solution: 36x48 Recycled Winged Pallet
Industry: Landscaping
Use Case: Delivery and outdoor storage of heavy stone
Outcome: For a landscaping customer handling heavy stone deliveries, we designed a 36x48 recycled winged pallet that met load-bearing needs at a lower cost. This solution helped them adopt their own pallet purchasing program, enabling them to avoid egregious supplier surcharges while supporting safe, reliable outdoor storage.
Case Study 4: Cost-Effective Shipping
Custom Pallet Solution: 48x80 Combo Pallet
Industry: Furniture Manufacturing
Use Case: Shipping custom cabinets
Outcome: Our 48x80 combo pallet replaced a DIY platform, reducing costs and labor time associated with preparing shipments. This switch to a purpose-built pallet simplified logistics, saved on labor, and ensured safe transport of custom cabinets.
Case Study 5: Meeting Specific Product Needs
Custom Pallet Solution: 28x85 New Pallet
Industry: Third-Party Logistics (3PL)
Use Case: Shipping individual sale units for an electronics client
Outcome: A 3PL provider needed a custom pallet to meet the exacting specifications of an electronics client. We created a 28x85 new pallet that was tailored to their exact needs and under budget, helping our customer maintain high service standards without exceeding cost constraints.
Case Study 6: Cost Savings Without Compromising Quality
Custom Pallet Solution: 53x32 Combo Pallet
lndustry: Printing
Use Case: LTL shipping of oversized machinery components
Outcome: For a printing customer shipping large, heavy components, we designed a 53x32 combo pallet that provided substantial cost savings while maintaining necessary performance levels. This custom solution allowed the customer to transport oversized machinery components reliably and at a fraction of their previous cost.
