Pallet Accessories & Add-ons
Complete your pallet solution with our comprehensive range of accessories. From protective covers and corner guards to RFID tracking systems and repair kits, every product is designed to reduce damage, improve efficiency, and lower your total shipping cost.
Why Accessories Matter
A pallet is only as good as the system around it. The right accessories can dramatically reduce product damage, improve load stability, streamline warehouse operations, and provide the tracking and compliance documentation your supply chain demands. Studies show that proper pallet packaging accessories reduce transit damage by up to 60% and improve warehouse efficiency by 25%.
Common Problems Solved by Accessories:
- Products shifting and falling during transit
- Water and dust damage to goods in storage
- Crushed corners and edges on cartons and boxes
- Difficulty identifying and tracking pallets
- Excessive product breakage and costly returns
- Inefficient use of warehouse space
- Non-compliance with shipping and export regulations
- Worker injuries from damaged pallets (splinters, nails)
- Temperature excursions in cold chain shipments
- Lost pallets and containers in the supply chain
Our Complete Accessory Catalog
Eleven product categories covering every aspect of pallet protection, securing, tracking, handling, and repair. Each product includes detailed specifications, use cases, and expert guidance on why it matters to your bottom line.
Pallet Collars
Hinged wooden frames that attach to the top of standard pallets, transforming a flat pallet into a secure, collapsible container. Multiple collars stack vertically to create any desired wall height. When empty, the hinged corners fold flat for space-efficient return shipping and storage -- saving up to 80% of the space required by rigid containers.
Common Use Cases
- Creating returnable containers for parts and components
- Building stackable bins for agricultural products
- Protecting fragile goods during transit without a full crate
- Creating adjustable-height containers (add or remove collars)
- Point-of-sale display containers in retail environments
Why It Matters
Pallet collars reduce packaging waste by 60-70% compared to disposable boxes. They are reusable hundreds of times, fully recyclable at end of life, and eliminate the need for single-use corrugated containers in returnable logistics programs.
Specifications
Pallet Covers
Protective top covers and full shrouds that shield pallet loads from dust, moisture, UV radiation, insects, and contamination. Available in lightweight disposable versions for single-trip protection and heavy-duty reusable versions for recurring use. Insulated covers maintain temperature for cold chain and hot-fill applications.
Common Use Cases
- Protecting goods during outdoor storage and yard staging
- Maintaining temperature for cold chain logistics
- Dust-free protection in warehouse environments
- UV protection for sun-sensitive products
- Tamper evidence for security-sensitive shipments
Why It Matters
Product damage from moisture and contamination costs US businesses an estimated $1 billion annually. A $2-$5 pallet cover can prevent hundreds of dollars in damage claims, returns, and customer dissatisfaction.
Specifications
Corner Protectors
L-shaped or U-shaped protective elements that reinforce the edges and corners of palletized loads. They distribute strapping and banding pressure evenly to prevent crushing, serve as edge guards to protect vulnerable product corners, and significantly increase the stackability of palletized loads by creating rigid vertical supports.
Common Use Cases
- Preventing crushed corners on cartons and boxes
- Distributing strapping tension to prevent indentation
- Increasing stack height capability of pallet loads
- Protecting edges of furniture, appliances, and fragile goods
- Creating rigid columns for interlocking stacked pallets
Why It Matters
Corner protectors are the most cost-effective way to prevent edge crushing during transit -- the single most common form of pallet load damage. A $0.50 corner protector can prevent $50+ in product damage per pallet.
Specifications
Stretch Wrap & Banding
High-performance stretch film and strapping materials that secure products to pallets and unitize loads for safe transit. Our stretch wrap line includes hand wrap, machine wrap, pre-stretched, and biodegradable options. Banding includes steel, polyester (PET), and polypropylene strapping with corresponding tensioners, sealers, and dispensers.
Common Use Cases
- Unitizing loose items into a single stable pallet load
- Securing tall or unstable loads against tipping
- Tamper-evident wrapping for security applications
- Waterproofing pallet loads for outdoor or ocean transit
- Bundling multiple items together (lumber, pipes, rebar)
Why It Matters
Proper stretch wrapping is the first line of defense against load shifting -- the cause of over 30% of all transit damage claims. The right film and application technique can cut damage rates by more than half.
Specifications
Pallet Jacks & Handling Equipment
Manual and electric pallet handling equipment designed for safe, efficient pallet movement in warehouses, loading docks, and retail environments. Our range includes standard manual pallet jacks, low-profile jacks for close-to-ground pallets, weigh-scale jacks, and powered electric models for high-volume or long-distance pallet transport.
Common Use Cases
- Moving loaded pallets within warehouses and loading docks
- Weighing pallets during receiving or shipping (scale jacks)
- Handling pallets in tight retail back-stock areas
- Reducing worker fatigue in high-volume operations (electric)
- Loading and unloading trucks without forklift access
Why It Matters
The right handling equipment reduces product damage, worker injuries, and operational downtime. An ergonomic pallet jack can reduce manual handling effort by 80% and improve pallet throughput by 3-5x compared to manual lifting.
Specifications
Dunnage & Void Fill
Protective materials placed within, between, and around products on pallets to absorb shock, fill empty spaces, and prevent movement during transit. Dunnage is essential for fragile, high-value, or precision-machined goods where even minor impacts can cause costly damage or rejection.
Common Use Cases
- Filling voids between products to prevent shifting
- Cushioning fragile items against shock and vibration
- Separating layers of product on multi-tier pallets
- Protecting machined surfaces from scratches and dings
- Bracing heavy items against lateral movement in trailers
Why It Matters
Transit damage claims cost US shippers an estimated $2 billion annually. Proper dunnage can reduce damage claims by 40-60%, paying for itself many times over on every shipment of fragile goods.
Specifications
Pallet Labels & Marking Systems
Professional identification, tracking, and compliance labeling solutions for pallets and pallet loads. From simple barcode labels to embedded RFID tags and permanent heat-stamped markings, we provide the tools to maintain complete visibility throughout your supply chain.
Common Use Cases
- Tracking pallet location and movement through the supply chain
- Automated inventory management via barcode or RFID scanning
- Lot and batch traceability for food and pharmaceutical compliance
- Custom branding and identification markings
- Shipping label compliance (GS1, SSCC, ASN)
Why It Matters
Pallet-level tracking reduces lost inventory by 15-25%, improves receiving accuracy to 99.9%+, and enables real-time supply chain visibility that drives better decision-making across your entire logistics operation.
Specifications
Anti-Slip Sheets & Mats
Textured paper, plastic, or rubber sheets placed between layers of product on a pallet to prevent horizontal shifting during transport. Anti-slip sheets work by increasing the coefficient of friction between surfaces, keeping boxes, bags, and cartons firmly in place even under the dynamic forces of truck and rail transit.
Common Use Cases
- Preventing product shifting on pallets during truck transport
- Stabilizing loads of smooth or glossy-surfaced cartons
- Reducing stretch wrap usage (less wrap needed with anti-slip)
- Separating pallet layers of bagged products (grain, feed, pellets)
- Creating non-slip surfaces on plastic pallets (inherently slippery)
Why It Matters
Load shifting accounts for 20-30% of all pallet-related transit damage. Anti-slip sheets solve this problem at a fraction of the cost of additional stretch wrap, and they reduce wrapping time by 25-40%.
Specifications
Load Securing Solutions
A comprehensive range of products designed to secure, stabilize, and protect pallet loads during transit. This category includes edge protectors, desiccant packs for moisture control, cargo nets, load bars, corner boards with integrated strapping channels, and winch straps for flatbed transport.
Common Use Cases
- Securing pallets on flatbed trailers with winch straps
- Moisture control with desiccant packs for ocean container shipments
- Preventing load movement with cargo nets and straps
- Protecting edges during banding with channel-type edge protectors
- Stabilizing mixed-size pallets with adjustable load bars
Why It Matters
Improperly secured loads cause over 25,000 truck accidents in the US annually. Beyond safety, proper load securing prevents the estimated $15 billion in annual freight damage and the associated claims, returns, and customer dissatisfaction.
Specifications
Pallet Displays & Retail Solutions
Display-ready pallet configurations designed to go directly from the truck to the retail sales floor. Half pallets (48x20"), quarter pallets (24x20"), and custom display platforms with integrated graphics, header boards, and product trays that turn your pallet into a merchandising tool.
Common Use Cases
- Club store and big-box retail floor displays
- Seasonal and promotional product displays
- End-cap and aisle merchandising units
- Cross-merchandising displays combining related products
- Trade show and event product presentations
Why It Matters
Pallet displays increase product sales by 15-30% compared to shelf-stocked items. They reduce in-store labor by eliminating the need to unpack and shelve individual units, and they create high-visibility merchandising opportunities.
Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our pallet accessories. Need specific product recommendations? Our team is always happy to help you find the right solution.
What size pallet collars do I need for my pallets?
Pallet collars are sized to match your pallet dimensions. For the standard 48x40" GMA pallet, you need 48x40" collars. For European EUR/EPAL pallets, 1200x800mm collars are standard. Collar height determines wall height per unit -- our most popular heights are 8" (200mm) and 12" (300mm). Stack up to 6 collars for walls up to 72" high. We also manufacture custom-size collars for non-standard pallets.
What gauge stretch wrap should I use?
Gauge selection depends on load weight and stability. Light loads (under 1,000 lbs) with uniform surfaces: 47-60 gauge. Standard loads (1,000-2,000 lbs): 60-80 gauge. Heavy or irregular loads (2,000+ lbs): 80-120 gauge. Pre-stretched film (already stretched during manufacturing) allows you to use a thinner gauge while maintaining the same holding force. Our team can recommend the optimal gauge for your specific loads.
Are there eco-friendly stretch wrap options?
Yes. We offer ASTM D6400-certified compostable stretch wrap made from plant-based materials that fully decompose in commercial composting facilities within 90-180 days. We also offer recycled-content stretch films containing 30-50% post-consumer recycled LDPE. For companies looking to reduce plastic use, our anti-slip sheets can reduce wrap requirements by 25-40%, and our high-stretch films use 30% less material per pallet than standard gauges.
Can I get accessories branded with my company logo?
Absolutely. We offer custom printing on pallet covers (full-color logo and handling instructions), stretch wrap (printed film with your branding), pallet collars (heat-stamped or printed logos), corner protectors (custom colors and printing), and barcode/RFID labels (custom formatting). Minimum order quantities apply for custom printing -- typically 500+ units for covers and wrap, 100+ for collars.
Do you offer package deals for accessories with pallets?
Yes. When you order pallets and accessories together, you save 10-25% compared to purchasing separately. Our three bundle tiers (Starter, Professional, and Enterprise) provide pre-configured accessory packages at volume discounts. We also create custom bundles based on your specific needs. Bundle orders ship together for simplified logistics and a single invoice.
What is the minimum order quantity for accessories?
Minimum orders vary by product: stretch wrap (1 case / 4 rolls), corner protectors (100 units), pallet covers (50 units), anti-slip sheets (100 sheets), pallet collars (25 units), RFID tags (100 units). For custom-printed items, minimums are higher. There is no minimum for repair kits and tools. Contact us for specific quantities and pricing on any accessory.
How do I choose between manual and electric pallet jacks?
Manual pallet jacks are ideal for operations moving fewer than 30 pallets per shift, over distances under 100 feet, in environments where simplicity and low maintenance are valued. Electric pallet jacks make sense when moving 30+ pallets per shift, traveling 100+ feet regularly, or when worker fatigue is a concern. Electric jacks reduce physical effort by 90% and move pallets 3-5x faster than manual. The payback period on an electric jack is typically 6-12 months in medium-to-high volume operations.
