Made of laminated sheets of corrugated material which are then cut into specific sizes according to the customer’s application. There is a huge variety of sizes and thicknesses for virtually unlimited uses.


Woodcore Panels are load divider panels made from honeycomb and wood, typically 1x4, 1x2 or 2x4 lumber. They are lighter weight and used in place of more expensive plywood sheets. The corrugated facing Woodcore Panels act as a buffer next to your product units.

Place vertically between stacks to prevent toppling. Use as dividers between multiple shipments in one trailer. Place horizontally on top of stack to allow safer and more

stable double stacking. Use on each side of an airbag to evenly distribute the force of

the bag.

When you need a void filler that has the compression rating of a bulkhead panel.

Hangers can be customized in a variety of ways and sizes. They can be offset to 1 side and scored if needed. They are also recyclable.


Corrugated pallets can be used in place of traditional woods pallets to save money. They are just as strong, much lighter weight and can be made to the customer’s specific size and strength as well as being recyclable.

Corrugated PalletsCorrugated Pallets

Corrugated pallets can be made either 2 way or 4 way.The legs can be wrapped with corrugated for added strength.Pallets can also be made with a bottom deck sheet for useon conveyor tracks.

Pallets can be ordered fully assembled or as separate components with pressure sensitive adhesive applied so they can be assembled as needed. By ordering the components for assembly, more can be shipped at a time and the customer can save space by assembling pallets as they are needed.

Pallets with 3 runners


Corrugated Sheets are a cost effective way to separate top and bottom tiers, and uneven rows of lading by protecting the product in transit from being damaged by the tiers coming in contact with each other. They can also be used as liners inside railcars, containers or trailers. The corrugated sheets can be used as dust covers, pallet tops, load or pallet divider sheets and much more. They are available in many different sizes and thicknesses depending on the application, and are recyclable.

Bulkhead PanelsBulkhead PanelsBulkhead Panels are strong enough to protect against end to end impact in railcars. We manufacture different cell sizes depending on the compression needed. They are also available with only one side sheet to allow collapse for space savings.

The corrugated material is sandwiched between two corrugated sheets. The corrugated materials are usually between 1 inch to 10 inches in thickness depending on needed strength. They are also recyclable.

Anti-Skid SheetsAnti-Skid Sheets

Eliminate load slipping from the slip sheet, reduce handling and storage space.

Reduce efficiency of packaging lines and overall packaging. Cost efficient and fully recyclable.

Anti-skid sheets are designed for a variety of applications and are available in e-flute and chipboard construction in a variety of thicknesses with recycled or waterproof coating on one or two sides. They hold products in place using cohesive properties. Achieving a co-efficient friction of 30 degrees, they are ideal for securing products as ancillary packaging or in pallet tier sheets. They can be used to stabilize difficult loads, and eliminate slippage and increase safety in warehouse and in transit. They also reduce transport costs by increasing load per pallet.


Air BagsAir Bags

They are lightweight, easy to position and quickly inflated. Pictured at left: Air Bag with woodcore panels to evenly distribute the force of the bag.


Air bags come in a wide variety of strengthsand sizes to meet all of your shipping needsand are available as re-usable or disposable.Air bags are an economical and convenientway to protect your product whether shippingby rail, truck or container. They have anoutstanding load stabilizing capacity and can withstand tons of pressure and resistance to load shifting.

Air Bag TipsAir Bag Tips

Align skids when double stacking to prevent instability

Correct

Incorrect

Always protect the air bag. Pad any part of the air bag that comes in contact with the pallet with corrugated materials or chip board.

Always inspect re-usable bags after use and again prior to re-use. If damaged, dispose of the bag – don’t risk it!

Don’t use multiple air bags together to fill a void. One will almost always be ejected from position and all stability will be lost.

Fill bag until freight stops moving and is locked securely to rail car, container or trailer side walls. Air bag should be firm and tight to the touch, but not over-inflated. Never exceed 12” after inflation, if so, bulkheads should be used.

To prevent failure never fold an air bag!


Corner Posts will keep your stacked loads strait, absorb shock and prevent damage. Their shape increases their load bearing strength, using less paper. This cuts your packaging costs, allowing more units per pallet. They are also recyclable.

Corner PostsCorner Posts

Corner Posts are available in calipers ranging from .080 to .250 with a variety of leg lengths and overall lengths of any size. You can also utilize our standard white clay-coated top for printing with one color graphics, your message or logo to enhance your merchandising efforts.


HoneycombHoneycombHoneycomb is made of kraft liner formed into continuous uniform cells. When expanded it can be faced with kraft liner and color coated. It can also be faced with other substrates.

Honeycomb’s distinctive cellular pattern and ability to bend and stretch into countless shapes and patterns allows imaginative uses. Honeycomb is also recyclable and biodegradable, and in most instances is more cost effective than the foam type products used in inner packing and many other applications. The reduction of sound transmission and deadening of vibrational energy are other important advantages of this product. Pound for pound, honeycomb is the strongest and most economical core available for use today. The cellular form provides outstanding top to bottom compression, making it an ideal component to replace wood pallets.


Slip Sheets and Tier SheetsSlip Sheets and Tier Sheets

Palletized bagged products: dog food, salt, bulk items. Palletized high graphic packaging. Palletized PET bottles and cans for beverage applications. Floor protection. Keep rolls of paper from shifting in transit.

Slip Sheets and Tier Sheets are designed for a variety of applications from tier sheet and packaging applications to counter roll uses. They hold products in place using cohesive properties. In a counter roll configuration they can be rolled out as a protective barrier for floors in new construction sites or moving applications. Slip sheets (push-pull) sheets come in a wide variety of caliper thicknesses.

for Longitudinal Securementfor Longitudinal SecurementPallet Brake Dynamics:

When intransit forces are applied to Pallet Brake the nail is the primary component in retarding pallet movement. Nails placed in molded-in holes can only be driven in at a 90 degree angle to the floor, resulting in perfect positioning for *SHEAR. During dynamic loading of pallets, by intransit forces, the Brake’s tongue forces a downward pressure resulting from unit’s weight forces nails to remain in SHEAR and not go into pull out action. SHEAR is 3 times stronger in blocking and bracing pallet/skid in comparison to PULL OUT.

*1,000-1,100 lbs depending on nails’ (20d common) wire diameter and wood’s specific gravity.
