Using the right type of pallet is an important part of how business functions are organized. We will discuss the benefits of using wooden versus plastic pallets and the advantages of each in a variety of contexts. Wooden pallets have been used for many years and are a trusted and reliable material for pallet construction. Meanwhile, plastic pallets are becoming a more popular option due to their lightweight and flexible nature.
Wooden pallets provide a range of advantages when used for Amazon fulfillment. Not only are they cost effective and widely available, but they are also stronger than plastic pallets. On average, wooden pallets can hold up to 2,500 pounds, while plastic pallets are suitable for holding up to 1,500 pounds (“Advantages of Wooden Pallets over Plastic Pallets”). Additionally, wooden pallets are easier for workers to handle and more environmentally friendly than plastic pallets. Many plastic pallets are made from non-renewable materials and end up in landfills, while wooden pallets can be recycled, reused, and sometimes even burned for heat energy, unlike plastic pallets ("Advantages of Using Wood Pallets"). Therefore, wooden pallets are the ideal choice of pallet material for Amazon fulfillment.
Using wooden pallets offer several benefits over plastic pallets including increased durability and safety, as well as costing less in the long run. Wooden pallets have been used in shipping and storing goods for decades, and their durability in the long-term is proven. They also stack more easily, reducing the risk of items slipping when loaded. Additionally, wooden pallets tend to be more cost-effective, since they can be reused for many years without the risk of damage or breakage. They can also be dismantled and repurposed for crafts projects, mulching, or other purposes. For these reasons, wooden pallets are often a more advantageous option over plastic pallets.
