Lightweight Paper & Honeycomb Pallet Solutions for Air Freight & Sustainable Packaging

Can paper pallets carry the same loads as wooden pallets?

A: Standard honeycomb board pallets support static loads of 800-2,500 kg — suitable for most air freight, light to medium goods; for heavy loads above 2,500 kg, hybrid composite or wooden pallets are recommended.

Are paper pallets ISPM-15 exempt?

A: Yes — paper, corrugated, and honeycomb pallets made entirely from processed wood fibre are fully exempt from ISPM-15 phytosanitary treatment requirements under IPPC guidelines.

What is the difference between a honeycomb pallet and a slip sheet?

A: A honeycomb pallet has a rigid board structure and is handled by standard forklifts; a slip sheet is a thin flat sheet requiring a push-pull forklift attachment — slip sheets save more weight but require specialised handling equipment.

Are paper pallets suitable for cold chain applications?

A: Standard paper pallets are not moisture-resistant; moisture-resistant PE-coated or wax-coated honeycomb pallet grades are available for cold storage and high-humidity transit applications.

What is the typical lead time for paper pallet orders?

A: Standard sizes are typically available ex-stock or within 5-10 working days; custom sizes and printed pallets require 10-20 working days lead time from Trade4Asia verified suppliers.
