How Much Do Pallets Cost?
Is the price right when it comes to pallets?
When it comes to pallets, how much should you pay? The answer is that it depends on a variety of factors. Pallet price can be impacted by material choice (wood, corrugated paper, plastic, metal, composite), new versus used, pay per use (rental) versus purchase, pallet size and quality, regional availability, and so on. By way of waiver, I must stress that the prices I am giving are only generalizations, and local pricing in your area is going to be impacted by variables such as those listed above. That being said, let's take a closer look.

Plastic Pallet Pricing
Pricing for new plastic pallets can range from around $10 each for the cheapest expendable units
(in truckload quantities) to the $80 range and even well over $100 for extremely durable, highly engineered models. The extremely popular twinsheet thermoform distribution pallet (more properly a skid) shown in the photo can range in the $30 to $40 range. Recycled plastic content or other fillers can help It is important to note, when it comes to very durable reusable pallets, not to develop sticker shock. The durable pallet should last a long time and deliver a low cost per trip, as long as it is properly managed. As one expert told me, over the long life of a durable plastic pallet, the logistics impact of the pallet can far outweigh the initial price.
Due to the time and expense of tooling molds for plastic pallets, custom sizing may prove to be more problematic to provide, at least in the short run. Pallets constructed of extruded pallet components are a better fit for custom sizing. Like for wood pallets, they do not require an expensive mold. One example of an extruded plastic pallet manufacturer is Custom Built Plastic Pallets.
Used plastic pallets are available through vendors, but much less commonly than used or recycled wood pallets.

Presswood Pallet Pricing
Wood composite or presswood pallets typically have a price point competitive to wood pallets, with benefits of not needing to be heat treated for international shipment, as well as having the benefits of nestability, as do nestable plastic pallets. Pricing for 48x40-inch presswood pallets starts from under $7.00. Presswood pallets are also available in several sizes, including popular quarter and half pallet models.
Presswood pallet production line is a new type environmental friendly equipment which can recycle waste wood. Such as bamboo, wood shavings, sawdust, wheat/corn straw, bagasse, coconut fibres and waste materials from the furniture factory, even the raw material can anything with fibers , such as waste plastic bottles , drink bottles , the final wooden pallet is widely used in logistics and transportation. It is free from hot treated.
