Slip Sheets for Secure and Cost-Effective Load Protection
Slip sheets provide a reliable way to protect products from damage during storage and transport. Made from durable corrugated cardboard or plastic, these pallet slip sheets are designed to sit between stacked loads or on top of a pallet, creating a clean barrier that reduces scratching and prevents goods from direct contact with wood surfaces.
Corrugated Slip Sheets for Versatile Applications
Also known as “honeycomb,” corrugated slip sheets are a lightweight yet strong option for industries that ship delicate or high-value goods. Commonly used by battery companies and other manufacturers, these sheets make it easier to send items between facilities or districts while maintaining product integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are slip sheets used for?
Slip sheets are thin sheets placed between loads or pallets to protect products from scratches, reduce contact with wood and improve stability during storage and transport.
Millwood slip sheets act as a protective barrier, ensuring stacked goods remain intact and undamaged. They help minimize direct contact between packaging and pallets, which reduces abrasion, moisture transfer and product contamination. Slip sheets are used in warehouses, shipping operations and manufacturing facilities to protect cartons, rolls and other packaged goods. With both corrugated cardboard and plastic options available, slip sheets deliver dependable protection while supporting packaging efficiency. By lowering dependency on traditional pallets in some scenarios, they also reduce costs and improve handling flexibility in logistics systems.
What types of slip sheets are available?
Slip sheets are available in corrugated cardboard (honeycomb) and durable plastic designs, both offering unique advantages for different packaging and shipping applications.
Corrugated slip sheets, often called honeycomb, provide lightweight but strong protection ideal for delicate or high-value goods such as batteries, electronics and specialty components. Plastic slip sheets deliver greater durability and moisture resistance, making them a reliable choice for long-term storage or international shipping environments. Both types integrate seamlessly with packaging workflows, offering a cost-effective, space-saving alternative to pallets. By providing versatility across industries, Millwood slip sheets help companies improve supply chain efficiency, reduce material costs and maintain product integrity during handling and distribution.
Are slip sheets sustainable?
Yes, slip sheets are eco-friendly packaging solutions that reduce wood use, support recycling initiatives and improve the overall sustainability of shipping operations.
Millwood’s corrugated slip sheets are made from recyclable cardboard materials, allowing businesses to reduce reliance on wood pallets and lower their carbon footprint. Plastic slip sheets can be reused multiple times, making them a cost-effective, durable and environmentally responsible option. By decreasing pallet demand, slip sheets also reduce waste and promote cleaner supply chain practices. Combined with Millwood’s ISTA-certified testing and recycling programs, slip sheets align with sustainability initiatives while maintaining performance. They give shippers an opportunity to balance durability, cost savings and environmental responsibility in one solution.
How do pallet slip sheets improve efficiency?
Pallet slip sheets reduce dependency on traditional pallets, saving space and costs while improving handling flexibility across storage and shipping operations.
Slip sheets are thinner and lighter than pallets, which means they require less warehouse space, reduce transport weight, and lower material costs. Their streamlined design allows for easier stacking, loading and unloading, especially when used with push-pull attachments on forklifts. This improves handling efficiency and minimizes pallet-related expenses in logistics operations. Millwood’s slip sheets are designed to integrate into existing packaging workflows, giving businesses an adaptable solution that supports both efficiency and sustainability. For companies seeking to reduce overhead while maintaining load protection, slip sheets provide a proven alternative to wood pallets.
