💰 Pricing & Quotations
Wooden pallets have no fixed price. The price is determined by the following factors: Size (standard 1200×1000mm is cheapest, non-standard requires custom order), Material (pine wood 30-60 yuan/piece, hardwood 45-80 yuan/piece), Deck thickness (15mm is thinnest and cheapest, 25mm is thickest and most expensive), Quantity (batches of 500+ get about 15% off, 1000+ about 25% off). If export fumigation is needed, add 5-10 yuan/piece.

The price difference for wooden pallets mainly comes from four areas: Wood grade (first-grade pine vs. off-grade material), Deck thickness (nominal 18mm but actual 14mm vs. a solid 18mm), Nail quality (4 galvanized spiral nails vs. 2 ordinary iron nails), Certification (regular IPPC fumigation vs. fake labeling).
We use standard first-grade pine, full-thickness decking, galvanized spiral nails, and have proper IPPC fumigation certification. If another factory's quote is much lower, we suggest you ask about their actual deck thickness and wood grade—measure it with a caliper and you'll know.

Yes. For long-term customers, we can sign an annual framework agreement to lock in prices and guarantee supply. If your volume is stable, we can offer quantity discounts on the ex-factory price. The specific discount depends on your annual usage, payment terms, and cooperation period. Welcome to call and discuss: 18062392062.
If your budget is limited, consider: Poplar wood pallets (about 15% cheaper than pine, but slightly lower strength, suitable for light loads), Thinner deck boards (reduce from 18mm to 15mm to lower cost, but load capacity also decreases).
We do not recommend choosing too thin boards just to save money—the savings may not be worth the potential damage. We suggest you tell us your budget and cargo weight, and we will recommend a cost-effective solution.

📋 Quality & Standards
Pine is cost-effective, with good shock resistance and bending strength, suitable for most warehousing and logistics scenarios. A standard 1200×1000mm pine pallet has a static load of 1-2 tons, enough for daily use.
Hardwood has higher strength, better impact resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, suitable for heavy-load scenarios (3-4+ tons) and special environments like chemical or humid conditions. But it costs 30-50% more than pine.
Recommendation: Choose pine for general use, hardwood for heavy load/chemical/humid environments. If unsure, just call us: 18062392062.

It's true that some products on the market are labeled as 18mm but are actually 14-15mm. Our practice: CNC cutting, dimensional tolerance ±3mm. The labeled thickness is the finished product thickness. We support on-site inspection and caliper measurement.
Each batch comes with inspection data, and load capacity and dimensions are traceable. Our quality is backed by ISO 9001 certification. We are not a small workshop, and we won't cut corners on this.

Our pallet wood undergoes kiln drying, with moisture content controlled at ≤18% (national standard requirement). Undried wood has a moisture content >40%, which will shrink, deform, and crack within 3-6 months. Dried pallets are less prone to deformation and have 1-2 times longer service life.
This process does add cost, but it has a huge impact on quality. Many low-price pallets skip drying, which is one reason they can be sold cheaply.

Our products comply with the GB/T 2934-2007 (General-purpose flat pallets for through transit) national standard. Each batch is spot-checked for load capacity and dimensions, and inspection data is included with the shipment. If needed, we can provide relevant qualification documents and inspection records.
We are also an ISO 9001 quality management system certified enterprise, with a complete quality control process from raw material intake to finished product shipment.

📦 Customization & Design
Yes. Size, material, structure, and load capacity are all customizable. Whether your rack size is special or you need to fit automated equipment, we can produce to order. Just provide length, width, height, load requirements, and usage scenario, and we can make it.
Standard pallets have a minimum order of 100 pieces. For custom sizes, please call to discuss specific quantity requirements: 18062392062.

Yes. We accept drawings or samples. Our CNC equipment can cut precisely according to your drawing. If you don't have a drawing, no problem—for customers in the Yichang area, we can take on-site measurements, produce a CAD drawing for your confirmation, and then manufacture. We have made many custom packaging boxes for irregular equipment, so don't worry.
Yes. For wooden packaging box customers, we offer full custom service: our technician measures the equipment on site → analyzes transportation methods and environment → produces a packaging structure drawing in CAD → confirms the plan with you → places the order → on-site packing (optional).
Our experience covers various types including machine tools, precision instruments, large castings, power batteries, etc. Tell us your equipment information and transport requirements, and we will create the most suitable solution for you.

🚢 Export & Fumigation
Solid wooden packaging boxes for export must undergo IPPC fumigation treatment, with the IPPC mark affixed, complying with ISPM 15 international standard. The process: place the wooden box in the fumigation chamber for sealed fumigation for 24 hours → ventilation → affix the mark → issue the certificate. The entire process takes about 2-3 days.
We have our own fumigation chamber; the certificate is issued upon shipment, and the marking is standard. If you want to avoid fumigation, you can choose plywood packaging boxes (naturally exempt from fumigation).
