Why plastic pallets?

Pallet for the first mile and beyond

CHEP full-size plastic pallets are made from virgin, food-grade plastic, certified contaminate free, and built using single-piece injection moulding - no nails, sharp edges or splinters.

Smooth, anti-slip surfaces mean no dead pockets for moisture, dust, allergens or liquids build up. Reducing the risk of cross-contamination and making them one of the most hygienic options available.

Our full-size plastic pallets can help your supply chain stay compliant with the latest food safety standards from bodies such as International Featured Standards (IFS), the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) defined by the World Health Organisation.

Our full-size plastic pallets can travel through you and your customer's supply chains, so no costly re-palletisation of goods.
