Do plastic pallets really prevent moisture damage to paper stock?

Yes. Timber continuously exchanges moisture with its surroundings and transfers it to the bottom layers of paper stock, causing curl and cockle. Plastic is impervious — no absorption, no migration, no humidity-driven stock damage from the pallet.

Are your pallets suitable for automated palletising and wrapping lines?

Yes. Dimensional consistency is one of plastic's biggest advantages for this sector — every pallet presents identical geometry to palletisers, conveyors and stretch wrappers, eliminating the jams that warped timber causes.

What load ratings do I need for full pallets of paper?

Paper loads commonly exceed a tonne per pallet. Our range includes pallets with static, dynamic and racking ratings matched to dense paper and board loads — tell us your typical load weights and storage method and we'll specify accordingly.

Can closed-deck pallets be used for print-critical stock?

Yes — closed decks keep the underside of stock completely clean and are the preferred choice for coated stocks, finished print and packaging destined for food or pharmaceutical customers.

Do you support closed-loop pallet programs with our customers?

Yes. Many converters circulate plastic pallets in closed loops with major customers. We can advise on pallet selection, identification options and replacement-rate planning for loop programs.

Industry Expertise

Material handling specialists for Paper, Packaging & Printing

Paper and print stock is unforgiving of bad pallets. Timber's moisture migrates into paper and board, its splinters and nail heads damage bottom reams, and its dust contaminates print rooms and converting lines. Eco Pallets supplies the paper, packaging and printing industry with plastic pallets that eliminate all three problems — clean, dry and dimensionally consistent from first trip to last.

Our range for this sector emphasises flat, full-perimeter deck support that protects stacked stock, moisture-impervious construction that ends humidity transfer into product, and the tight dimensional tolerances that automated converting, palletising and wrapping lines depend on. Closed-deck options keep the underside of stock pristine for print-critical applications.

Printers, corrugators, converters and packaging manufacturers across Australia run our pallets through their plants and out to their customers. With five fulfilment hubs and same-day wholesale quoting, we keep your pallet supply as reliable as your press schedule demands.

Why Choose Eco Pallets

Why Paper, Packaging & Printing Teams Choose Eco Pallets

Stock-Safe Deck Design

Flat, smooth decks with no nail heads, splinters or protrusions — bottom reams and board arrive as clean as they left the machine.

Zero Moisture Transfer

Impervious plastic ends the timber-to-paper moisture migration that causes curl, cockle and rejected stock.

Dust & Debris Free

No timber dust or fibre shed contaminating print rooms, coating lines and clean converting environments.

Automation-Grade Tolerances

Injection-moulded consistency suits automated palletisers, conveyors and wrappers without jam-causing dimensional variance.

Rated for Dense Loads

Paper is heavy — our pallets carry the static and racking loads that full-height ream and roll stacks impose.

Closed-Loop Friendly

Durable pallets ideal for closed-loop circulation between converting plants and major customers, trip after trip.
