Alternative-materials pallets.
Plastic, plywood, corrugated, steel, aluminum, glass, and can pallets. When wood is not the right answer for your operation, ePallet sources the right material against your load, your loop, and your hygiene requirements.
Sometimes the right pallet is not made of wood. Hygiene-rated plastic for food-and-beverage. Steel for heavy industrial. Corrugated for one-way export. ePallet sources the alternative-materials pallet that fits your operation — not a wood pallet you have to work around.

Plastic pallets — injection molded and plastic lumber.
Injection-molded plastic pallets in hygiene-rated configurations for pharmaceutical, dairy, and food-grade applications where washdowns and FDA traceability matter. Plastic-lumber pallets for repeat-cycle closed-loop programs where the pallet stays inside your network. Plastic options weigh less than hardwood, last longer in wash environments, and remove the wood-pest risk entirely on the international shipping side.
Steel and aluminum for heavy industrial duty.
Steel pallets for automotive, glass, and heavy industrial loads where wood and plastic flex too much under static or dynamic stress. Aluminum where weight and corrosion resistance matter together — aerospace, marine, certain cleanroom applications. We source steel and aluminum builds through our 1,600+ vendor partner network with full spec engineering on every order.
Corrugated, plywood, and one-way builds.
Corrugated paper pallets for single-trip export shipments — no ISPM-15 compliance needed, no return logistics, and a cost basis well below repeated-cycle wood for the one-way move. Plywood for medium-weight one-trip builds. Foamcore and engineered alternatives where the receiver does not return pallets and the cost of recovery exceeds the cost of the pallet itself.
Glass and can pallets for specialty handling.
Glass-handling pallets engineered for the unique stress profile of bottle and container shipments — deeper deckboard supports, custom stake configurations, slip-sheet ready. Can pallets for beverage and food-can lines, sized to your fill-line specs and your end-customer pallet exchange requirements. These are not catalog products — they are built against your operation.
