Frequently Asked Questions
Wood pallets are sturdy, flat platforms frequently used to stack, store and transport goods across supply chains—valued for their strength, affordability and adaptability.
Available in custom sizes and grades—including hardwood and softwood—wood pallets support industries like food & beverage, retail and automotive by enabling safe, efficient handling. Options span new, recycled and export-ready pallets. Millwood delivers reliable, ISO-compliant wood pallets through our nationwide footprint, backed by custom engineering and tested quality for optimized logistics in both domestic and global operations.
Wood pallets generally cost less upfront than plastic or metal alternatives, offering a budget-friendly solution for many businesses. Prices vary based on size, wood species, construction style (block vs. stringer) and whether pallets are new or remanufactured.
For high-volume or single-use shipping, wood pallets often deliver the best value due to low material and manufacturing costs—especially when compared to plastic, which only becomes cost-effective in returnable loops. Millwood helps clients assess cost-efficiency by combining quality design, compliance, and supply chain stability for long-term savings.
Stringer pallets feature long support boards (stringers) running along the length, offering cost-effective two-way access, while block pallets use solid block supports for full four-way forklift entry—even from the sides.
Stringers are commonly used across North American supply chains for their simplicity and repairability. Block pallets excel for heavy loads, automated environments and export efficiency. Millwood manufactures both types and helps you choose based on load requirements, handling equipment and your logistics operations to improve durability, reduce transit damage and ease material handling.
Yes—wood pallets can be made compliant with ISPM-15 international export rules through heat-treatment (HT) or methyl bromide fumigation, ensuring pest-free shipping across borders.
Industries such as food, pharmaceutical and retail also require pallets to meet FDA, hygiene or eco-sourcing standards. Millwood supports these by offering heat-treated, tested pallets and leveraging our in-house ISTA-certified Millwood Lab to validate load performance, durability and compliance safely, helping clients avoid regulatory delays and maintain global trade continuity.
The lifespan of a wood pallet depends on design, handling and application—ranging from 10 trips for lighter stringer pallets to 60+ trips for heavy-duty block designs. Choosing the right pallet solution ensures maximum value and reliability.
At Millwood, we engineer pallets to match your exact load, handling and shipping requirements. Over-engineered pallets waste lumber and add unnecessary cost, while under-engineered pallets fail early, creating product damage and supply chain risk. Our ISTA-certified Millwood Lab validates every design for strength and durability, ensuring each pallet achieves its optimal service life while reducing waste and total cost of ownership.
Yes, Millwood supplies wood pallets across the United States through a robust manufacturing and distribution network supported by strategic partners. This ensures consistent quality, fast delivery and reliable service nationwide.
