In today’s business world, plastic pallets have become one of the most significant supply chain tools. More companies are turning to plastic pallets every day and are encouraged to use these pallets by recognizing their unique features.
A variety of pallets are produced annually for use in various industries. This variety in dimensions and size, weight, color, appearance features such as smooth or grid surfaces, as well as flexibility, has led to plastic pallets being used in different industries in a specialized manner, based on the needs of that industry.
In order to familiarize with the usage of pallets, examples of industries that utilize plastic pallets, as well as their more general applications, are described below.
Pallets in food and beverage industry
In the food and beverage industry, hygiene and quality of packaging play a fundamental role in consumer health. Plastic pallets are an ideal option for transporting and storing food since they do not absorb moisture and are resistant to bacteria, fungi, and mold. These pallets are also easily washed and sterilized, which increases the shelf life and hygiene of the products. In industries such as dairy, meat, and seafood, the use of plastic pallets and pallet boxes is more common due to their high sensitivity to contamination.

Pallets in electronics industry
Transporting electronic components and equipment requires special care and attention, as these products are usually sensitive to impact, dust, and static electricity. Persian Sanat plastic pallets and boxes are considered an ideal choice for transporting and storing goods in this industry due to their durable design and lack of production of suspended particles. In addition, some types of plastic pallets have anti-static (ESD) properties that prevent electrical discharges and damage to electronic components. Companies manufacturing televisions, computers and laptops, mobile phones, and telecommunication equipment use these types of pallets to move and store their parts.
Pharmaceutical Industry
The global pharmaceutical industry is growing at a significant pace due to aging, increasing chronic diseases, and health awareness, which in turn, is expected to enhance the demand for plastic pallets in this industry day by day.
Plastic pallets address the pharmaceutical industry’s biggest challenges: health and safety.
Pallets are easy to wash and disinfect. Also, pharmaceutical plastic pallets do not absorb moisture, so they do not have the common problems of wooden pallets such as rotting, contamination, and odor absorption.
Unlike other types of pallets, plastic pallets are usually made in one piece; therefore, the smooth surface on the back and top of plastic pallets can be easily and thoroughly cleaned after each use. So as mentioned, plastic pallets are ideal for industries with strict hygiene regulations, such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage.

Retail Stores
In small businesses, the use of plastic pallets instead of wooden ones has become increasingly common in warehouses, distribution centers, and chain stores. Due to their low weight, high strength, and recyclability, these pallets are very efficient for fast goods movement between suppliers, warehouses, and stores. Also, using these pallets in large stores facilitates inventory management and optimizes the distribution process.

Chemical Products
Plastic pallets are very attractive and practical for chemical products and industries due to their impermeable and leak-proof designs. Chemicals are usually corrosive and hazardous and require safe packaging and transportation that is resistant to leaks and chemical reactions. Unlike wooden pallets, which may rot and be damaged by contact with chemicals, plastic pallets are highly resistant to acids, alkalis, and other corrosive substances. These pallets are also a reliable option in chemical warehouses due to their resistance to moisture and leaks.
Automotive industry
In the automotive industry, automotive parts need safe packaging and transportation due to their high weight and mechanical sensitivities. Plastic pallets and boxes are the best option for moving automotive parts from suppliers to assembly lines because of their high weight-bearing capacity, resistance to impact and abrasion, and lack of dust generation. Regarding these benefits, the use of plastic pallets can save costs in long time and improve transportation processes in the automotive industry.
Compared to wooden pallets, which last only two or three years on average, industrial plastic pallets can last up to a decade. These pallets are suitable for heavy loads and extreme temperatures and are resistant to moisture and chemicals.
Persian Sanat folding pallet boxes are the best option for easy and safe transportation of sensitive automotive parts. These pallet boxes, with the capability to be folded, take up very little space, and therefore, significantly reduce transportation expenses.
In addition to the above-mentioned, plastic pallets and pallet boxes are used specifically in the export and import of products to different countries and play a significant role in facilitating transportation in this area.
Also, some types of plastic pallets are widely used in air transportation due to their light weight. In addition, these pallets have caused a huge revolution in modern warehousing.
