Why Companies Should Consider Chemical Pallets

Chemical pallets are now available in the Untied States and in Canada from Compliance Packaging International Ltd. CPI offers used chemical pallets and is licensed to manufacture new chemical pallets under its license CP-984.

The chemical pallet designs were first created by European chemical and plastics companies to standardize pallet sizes.

Over time a number of other industries began moving goods on chemical pallets and recognized the value of having harmonized sizes and standards. In Europe, chemical pallets are exchangeable and possess a deposit value when returned to a pallet company.

Some users refer to chemical pallets as CPs or CP Pallets. Chemical pallets come in nine different design types and sizes.

The most common CP Pallets found in the United States are the CP3, CP1, CP2, CP6, CP9, and CP8.

CP pallets generally correspond to a certain type of packaging and handling such as racked vs. floor stacked, and single stacked vs. multiple loaded units stacked atop each other. American chemical companies usually move their products in four primary types of packaging: drums -- both steel and plastic, supersacks, boxes, and bags.

CP 1 pallets and CP 6 pallets best carry boxes and sacks.

Chemical Pallet 2 was designed to replace the euro pallet. This pallet is sometimes used in North America in place of the euro pallet.

When transporting super sacks and large drums, users can choose between the CP 3 and CP 9.

Supersacks are generally the only packaging type that companies ship on CP 8 pallets.
