Why corrugated?

No fumigation

  • The International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures 15 (ISPM15) requires that all raw wood be either fumigated or heat-treated when crossing international borders.
  • This means that for every shipment on wood, you’ll need a certificate.
  • CX Pallets bypasses this standard completely as it contains no wood.
  • Eliminate the risk of your goods being quarantined or delayed due to inspections at customs.

Lightweight

  • Freight cost is normally calculated by weight.
  • A typical CX Pallet weighs only 7kgs, making it both cost-effective and extremely handling-friendly.
  • Ideal for air freight shipments although most of our clients use full container loads by sea freight.
  • Weight limits on road or container shipments can be fully utilised, eliminating unnecessary payload for heavy wooden or plastic pallets.

Robust Strength

  • The problem with most corrugated pallets on the market is the rigidity of the deck. Our pallets are designed with unique, load bearing slats. The 2-way entry pallet is particularly suitable for racking as it has unsurpassed beam-strength.
  • Pallets have been load-tested with 2.7 tons of static load. Most of our clients load in the region of 1 ton per pallet.
  • Extremely tough, heavy-duty cardboard is used. All-virgin fibres ensure superior crush and tear resistance.
  • Pallet legs are reinforced to withstand impact from forklift and pallet truck forks.

Fully recyclable

  • Pallets can be recycled at the receiving end, relieving the cost of disposal, especially in European countries where strict disposal regulations of wood are enforced.
  • Made exclusively from corrugated paper board, CX Pallets can be sold to recyclers.
  • An environment-friendly product which will ensure a cleaner, more clinical image to your company and its products.

Design flexibility

  • Custom sizes are easily cut to size as no major change in the production process is necessary – lead times and minimum quantities will apply.
  • Stock sizes are available with no lead time or minimum quantities (subject to availability).
  • Any reinforcement (corner pieces, etc.) can be readily incorporated to fit your specific requirements.

Smooth handling and reduction in pilferage

  • No nails or splinters, thus reducing occupational health and safety risks for your materials handling staff.
  • An integrated pallet-box in its kit-format ensures easy packing and consolidation of your cargo.
  • Once packed, the entire unit can be strapped up and will be ready for shipment.
  • Reduce the risk of pilferage by consolidating your cargo into an unmarked box.
Quick Answers...


When confronted with the idea of a corrugated pallet, most people tend to think of light, fragile goods. The sceptics and naysayers have finally been proven wrong. CX Pallets has developed a corrugated pallet that punches above its weight class.

Load capacity:
The first question is always: How much weight can it hold? The simple answer is: It depends on the load structure. Loose loads (cement bags) or products with point-loads (machinery) have different load dynamics from let's say a stack of fruit cartons or boxes of circuit breakers. No two loads are the same and we consult extensively with clients to provide them with the most economical solution to their distribution needs. The flexible design provides easy customisation although most client find a suitable size in our standard range of stock items. Test-loaded with a static 2.7 tons, our pallets can handle even the most demanding loads.

Moisture:
The second questions is always: What happens when it stands in water? The simple answer is it needs to be protected from standing in static puddles of water for prolonged periods of time. Basically, humidity and odd splashes of rain won't harm the pallets but we always tell our clients to see the pallets as an extension of their products and its packaging. You won't let your products stand outside in the rain, so the same goes for the pallets. The most direct implication is that you wont be able to store the pallets outside but that has never deterred anyone from using out products. They work so well, people just make a plan and store them inside.

Go Green:
With ever-increasing pressure on companies to reduce their carbon footprint and incorporate more environment-friendly products in their supply chain, we are at the forefront of this exciting new industry. Most clients of South African exporters have trouble disposing of their wooden pallets at the receiving end. With CX Pallets, these clients can re-sell the pallets back to recyclers and eliminate the extra costs of disposing of their wooden pallets in an environmentally certified manner.
