Consistency of pallet shipping standards
Packing pallets Start with proper pallet selection - standard, long, extra long, Chep Don't use damaged pallets with loose, broken or missing boards - set aside in damaged pile Ensure pallet is strong enough to support the weight of the product to be loaded on it Use cardboard slip sheet if needed to keep product from dropping between boards Fill product out to corners of pallet if possible without leaving gaps between boxes Flatten product across pallet for stacking where possible Load heavier items to the bottom with weight distributed evenly across pallet and lighter items to the top Split order and load onto two pallets if pick is too tall or too heavy Placard near front top right corner where possible placed so that plastic wrap is flat against bar codes on top of top sheet so that bar code can be scanned easily Packing list and certificate of compliance placed near center at the front of pallet
