Buyers / Specifiers
We offer buyers and specifiers the same detailed level of hotline help and technical advice as we do to makers and suppliers of packaging and pallets. We recognise that packaging and pallets are purely functional and are not bought for their good looks and apart from speeding movement to the customer and preventing product damage, they add nothing to the quality of the goods ending up on your customer’s shelves, only to the cost.

Buyers, specifiers and users, join PalletLink as Associate Members at a single fixed subscription, for details go to the JOIN PALLETLINK page. We welcome any buyer, specifier or user of wood packaging and pallets from any business in any part of the world as a PalletLink member; we already have European members and a member as far away as Australia. Nor do you actually have to be involved in packaging and pallets, if you think membership can help you, you are welcome to join.
We can help tailor a new specification to meet your specific requirements to ensure economy, safety and environmental issues are met. Is the pallet suitable for my storage racking with its unusually wide beam separation? Why are we getting endless board breakage? Where is the white mould coming from? These are examples of the type of questions that PalletLink routinely answers for buyers, specifiers and users.
In the past we have come to the aid of pallet using companies who have believed a consultants promise to pare down their packaging specification and cut their costs. In two cases this resulted in product damage and long term damage to their market, let alone personnel safety issues. You need to be wary of this type of approach. We can sometimes cut costs, but we don’t use guesswork. PalletLink advice is based upon sound timber engineering principles using in-house expertise. Solutions are numerically worked, backed by testing and logically laid out for clients.
