Wood pallets have traditionally been the way in which material is moved from vendor to customer and then onto the consumer. The wood pallet sits in warehouses and stores throughout the world. In the US there are millions of pallets in use every day and the vast majority is made from wood. For the manufacturer of the wood pallet, there are voluntary guidelines that have been developed by the National Wooden Pallet and Container Association to ensure that every pallet that is used in the shipping and storing of materials is as safe as possible.
