How Wood Pallets are Manufactured

Wooden pallets are the most common type of pallet used in shipping and storage. At WBPallets, we take pride in providing high-quality wooden pallets to businesses throughout West Michigan. In this article, we'll explain how wood pallets are made, giving you a better understanding of the pallets you use every day.


The first step in making a wooden pallet is to source the wood. The majority of pallets are made from softwoods like pine or spruce, as they are abundant and inexpensive. The wood is then cut to size, usually 48” by 40”, which is the standard size for most pallets.


Next, the boards are planed and sanded to smooth out any rough edges or splinters. After the boards have been prepared, they are assembled into a pallet. The most common method of assembly is through nailing. Pallets are typically made up of three parts: the top deck, the bottom deck, and the stringers that run along the sides. The stringers are attached to the top and bottom decks with nails, creating a sturdy frame for the pallet.


Finally, the pallet is inspected for quality and any necessary repairs are made. One of the benefits of wooden pallets is that they can be repaired and reused multiple times. This helps to reduce waste and is more cost-effective for businesses in the long run.


At WBPallets, we take sustainability seriously and use recycled materials whenever possible in our pallet production. We also offer custom sizes and designs to meet the specific needs of our customers.


In conclusion, wooden pallets are a cost-effective and durable option for businesses in need of shipping and storage solutions. Understanding how they are made can help businesses make informed decisions when it comes to choosing the right pallets for their needs. At WBPallets, we are committed to providing high-quality wooden pallets to businesses in West Michigan and beyond. Contact us today to learn more about our products and services.
