Economic Benefits of Slip Sheets

Weight:

Pallets are made of hardwood and are very heavy due to their structure, with an average weight of 45 lbs. In comparison, slip sheets weigh approximately 1.5 lbs for a 51×43 inch sheet. Especially for stackable goods, the weight of the pallets can account for up to 20-30% of the total weight. With the slip sheet solution, this can be reduced to a fraction of this, so that smaller loading trolleys or even racking systems are sufficient.

Height:

The height of slip sheets is much lower compared to conventional pallets. Even the thickest slip sheet measures under 1/4″, compared to a typical pallet height of 6 inches. This can result in significant space savings in both storage and transportation.

Zero maintenance:

With many traditional logistics solutions, maintenance can be a major challenge, especially hygiene and the replacement of broken or damaged pallets. With slip sheets, no such maintenance is required, as damaged pallets can be easily replaced, while there is simply no room for rodents to infest.

Customizable:

Due to the material and thickness of slip sheets, they are much easier to shape and some types can even be resized on site.

Environment:

Slip sheets are made of high-quality recycled plastic that can be reused later and produce much less waste, they save space and costs.

The durability of the sheet, cost savings, and the recycle program make this sheet the option when comparing with fiber sheets. ~ A satisfied customer
