Wood-Free Transport Packaging: Buyer Overview
Compare paper pallets, slip sheets, edge boards, and honeycomb alternatives for export programs reducing wood and plastic in logistics.
Quick Answer
Wood-free transport packaging replaces plywood pallets, foam bracing, and some plastic dunnage with paper edge boards, slip sheets, paper pallets, honeycomb panels, and air bags. Buyers adopt it to reduce ISPM-15 concerns, lower weight, and support recyclable logistics programs.
Why Buyers Switch
Export markets increasingly accept paper-based load units when strength and moisture performance are proven. Wood-free systems can simplify documentation and align with corporate sustainability targets.
Key Components
Paper pallets and pallet feet for unit loads.
Slip sheets for push-pull handling systems.
Edge boards and honeycomb for corner and surface protection.
Dunnage air bags for void fill in containers.
Implementation Tips
Run trial shipments with your freight forwarder. Validate forklift handling, moisture exposure, and stacking pattern before replacing existing wood or plastic systems.
