Pallets Shortages, Supplies & Solutions
Understanding the current state of Pallet Supply, Shortages, and Alternatives
Given our experience and position as Australia’s Leaders in Industrial Packaging Solutions, we were invited by FTA to share some insight into the recent and current Pallet Supply issues facing our Industry and its implications in supporting other Industries.
Katryna Tancred, our State Sales Manager, shares her insight and provides some welcomed alternatives by those impacted with the Pallet Supply issues. Here we have plucked out some highlight statements:
- You would be better served by a non-standard pallet size
- Intra-company pallet exchange > Consider creating your own pallet pool
- Custom pallet solution - this allows you to specify the best pallet for your load & storage system
- Reviewing your pallet specifications

- Cost & supply pressures due to local and global occurrences
- The impact of recent bushfires (2019) will be felt for many years
