Custom size pallets
If you manufacture or sell large or unusually sized products, they likely require custom pallets for storage and transportation.
Manufactured to the exact size you require, custom pallets can accommodate a range of unusually shaped or sized objects, enabling easy movement. Besides this, custom-size pallets can help maximise the storage space available at your warehouse, reducing costs. Similarly, they can allow you to transport more products per shipment, reducing both transport costs and CO2 emissions.
GWP can manufacture custom-size pallets to virtually any shape, size, and specification you require. We can also offer a range of compatible pallet boxes, wooden shipping crates, and composite packaging if needed.

FAQs
What is a custom pallet?
Custom pallets are manufactured to a bespoke size. Custom dimensions may be necessary to accommodate a specific product or piece of equipment or to optimise the use of a particular storage space. Pallets can also include additional features, such as custom pallet collars.
What are standard UK pallet sizes?
Besides custom-size pallets, there are four standard and commonly used options. These are full Euro pallets (1200 x 800mm), half Euro pallets (600 x 800mm), standard UK pallets (1200 x 1000mm) and half standard pallets (600 x 1000mm).
What is the difference between UK and EU pallets?
Size is the main difference between Standard (UK) and Euro (EU) size pallets. Euro pallets are 1200 x 800 mm, whilst UK standard pallets are 1200 x 1000 mm.
Are there different types of pallets?
Besides timber pallets, it is possible to source plastic, metal and even corrugated cardboard pallets. However, these are not as widely used or accepted as wooden equivalents.
What is ISPM 15?
ISPM stands for “International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures”. It is effectively the industry standard for pallets and involves heat treatment to eliminate pests, contaminants and disease. Pallets must be ISPM-treated if used for export.
