One of the main benefits of using a custom pallet is that it is a cost-effective option to any business to ship goods to their customers. Depending on the size of the item being shipped, the only thing you need to do is place the item on its pallet and secure item to pallet. The pallet and the goods are then shipped to your customer in just a matter of days. It's also practical to use, and many companies may opt to have their goods shipped on a pallet when applicable, rather than pay for their goods to be packaged in a crate. This is a benefit for any business that sells its goods on a regular basis.
Why use a custom pallet or a box base to ship your goods? The transport system that is used to ship goods is called the "transport chain." This is an entire series of movements of goods from place to place. Once a product is manufactured and ready to be shipped, it is placed on a pallet. The pallet is transported to its final destination by a truck and a conveyor belt. From there, the truck pulls the pallet on a predetermined route to its final destination. The use of custom pallet for transportation is not just limited to shipments. The same can be applied to freight.
Whether using a custom pallet, a stock one or some combination of both, people will benefit from much reduced overhead costs. When using a custom pallet company there is no need to worry about hiring employees, dealing with health and safety issues and dealing with deliveries. Instead, simply work with reputable and well-known providers that offer custom pallets or box base services. The cost saving is even more for stock pallets but if you manufacture large and heavy items, there are weight limitations when using those. Each of DEUFOL North America's locations are equipped with good processes and experienced workers with great customer service is a guarantee.
On average, custom pallets help businesses increase product delivery timeline, which also increases sales. The cost for this increased volume can be as little as 10% of the initial cost of purchasing a pallet.
There are many benefits to using a custom pallet for shipping, but perhaps the most obvious one is how much faster the process is. When using a custom pallet for shipping, sending goods to customers will ensure that goods are in your customers hands as soon as possible, which means that their customers will hopefully be more willing to purchase the products, often translating into more sales. Lead times are typically quicker on custom pallet orders
