quality Wooden Shipping Pallets & Warehouse Wood Pallet factory

Wooden pallets can always be seen in warehouses, docks, or bustling supermarkets, where countless wooden pallets are placed on the bottom layer of a box of goods - pallets. Wooden pallets come from humble backgrounds: usually ordinary cedar, poplar, and pine are chosen. It is simple and unadorned, just a few straight boards arranged in a straight line, with a few foot pads nailed on them. But it is very practical, waterproof, moisture-proof, and protects boxes of goods. Often, what people pay attention to, love, and are passionate about are the various products on its shoulders, rather than it. It never shows off, fulfills its duties, and silently shoulders heavy objects that are dozens or even hundreds of times heavier than it - it is the "old scalper" in the logistics field!

In order to ensure normal export trade with the United States, reduce and avoid economic losses, the Chinese government has decided to quarantine the wooden packaging of goods imported to the United States in accordance with the Animal and Plant Quarantine Law of the People's Republic of China. And considering similar situations that may occur in the future, it has also been decided that if other countries have similar inspection and quarantine requirements in the future, their practices will also follow the quarantine treatment method for wooden packaging of goods imported to the United States. So, what is wooden packaging? What are the requirements for quarantine of wooden packaging for export goods?   1、 The concept of wooden packaging: wooden packaging refers to the wooden materials used for packaging, bedding, supporting and reinforcing goods, such as wooden cases, wooden crates, wooden pallets, wood materials for bunkering, barrels, wood mattresses, sleepers, wood liners, wood shafts, wood wedges, etc. However, artificially synthesized materials or packaging wood materials that have undergone deep processing such as heating and disinfection, such as plywood and fiberboard, are not included in this list. Wooden packaging must not contain bark.   2、 The national quarantine requirements for wooden packaging of exported goods: 1. All types of export enterprises must strictly implement the current national standards for framework wooden boxes (GB7284) and ordinary wooden boxes (GB12464), and carry out disinfection treatment on the wooden packaging of exported goods. Before containing the goods, the export enterprises themselves or their agents must report to the entry and exit inspection and quarantine authorities for inspection. When handling export customs declaration procedures, it is necessary to submit fumigation, disinfection and other certificates issued by the entry-exit inspection and quarantine authorities to the customs. Each customs certificate must be checked and released. If no relevant certificate is issued, the customs will not release it.   2. Enterprises specializing in the production of export packaging materials must, in addition to continuing to comply with the current regulations and standards of relevant national departments, carry out pest control treatment on wooden packaging materials used for export goods in accordance with user requirements.   3. Large and medium-sized production enterprises with independent packaging workshops must carry out disinfection treatment on the wooden packaging materials used in the production of exported products in accordance with regulations, and report to the local entry-exit inspection and quarantine authorities for inspection before packaging the goods.   4. Small export enterprises that need to use wooden packaging for export goods must purchase wooden packaging from professional wood processing enterprises or large and medium-sized export enterprises that are capable of handling wooden packaging if they do not have the conditions for pest control. Local economic and trade commissions, in conjunction with local entry and exit inspection and quarantine authorities, should accelerate the approval of a list of professional wood processing enterprises or large and medium-sized enterprises that can carry out pest control treatment on wooden packaging, in order to standardize the procurement of wooden packaging materials by small export enterprises.   5. The quarantine of wooden packaging for export goods should be started from scratch, and efforts should be made to handle it during the production process of wooden packaging materials. The entry-exit inspection and quarantine authorities shall implement classified management on the production and processing enterprises of wooden packaging for export goods, verify the specialized production enterprises of wooden packaging for export that meet the conditions for pest control treatment and the production enterprises with independent packaging workshops, and confirm the quarantine treatment supervision factories (warehouses) for the quality packaging of export goods depending on the situation; The wooden packaging materials stored in the supervision factory (warehouse) can be subjected to centralized pest control treatment. When leaving the factory (warehouse), the entry-exit inspection and quarantine agency confirms that there are no live insect infections, and issues a "fumigation/disinfection certificate" in batches for verification.   6. The entry-exit inspection and quarantine authorities shall assess and recognize the units engaged in the disinfection and treatment of wooden packaging for export goods, and provide necessary technical training to practitioners.   7. The entry-exit inspection and quarantine authorities shall supervise the handling process of the units responsible for the disinfection treatment of wooden packaging for export goods, confirm the chemicals and testing instruments used, and order the handling units to take remedial measures or reprocess if they find that the disinfection treatment does not meet the technical requirements.   8. If the wooden packaging of exported goods is transported to the exit port without undergoing disinfection treatment or needs to be replaced with wooden packaging, the export enterprise or its agent shall apply for inspection to the exit port inspection and quarantine authority. The entry and exit inspection and quarantine authority shall supervise and handle it according to regulations. If it passes the treatment, a "fumigation/disinfection certificate" shall be issued.   9. Wooden packaging of export goods that have passed the disinfection treatment should generally be shipped out of the country within 21 days after the issuance of the "fumigation/disinfection certificate". If the deadline is exceeded, the export enterprise or its agent must declare to the entry-exit inspection and quarantine authority. If infected with live insects, they must be reprocessed under the supervision of the entry-exit inspection and quarantine authority. 10. For export goods using wooden packaging that have not obtained a "fumigation/disinfection certificate", the entry-exit inspection and quarantine authorities shall not accept the inspection of the goods.

Wooden pallets are pallets made from natural wood as raw materials; It is currently the most widely used tray.   A pallet is a placement unit used for stacking, consolidation, handling, and transportation. It serves as a horizontal platform device for unit load goods and products. It is generally made of metal, wood, and fiberboard. Pallets are used for handling unit materials, facilitating loading and unloading, and small quantities of materials. The types of pallets mainly include plastic, wood, and metal materials. Wooden pallets are currently the most widely used because they are not only cheap but also made of sturdy materials. Wooden pallets are mainly made of the following materials   1. Poplar wood: Poplar wood belongs to broad-leaved trees, with loose and soft materials, poor durability, and is suitable for processing into pallets with low load-bearing requirements. The price is relatively low.   2. Pine: Pine belongs to the coniferous tree species, with a variety of species and relatively wide applicability. Larch (also known as yellow pine) has a coarse texture, hard wood strength, and an unaffordable price, making it one of the commonly used materials for making pallets. Red pine and white pine have fine textures, pale colors, and beautiful appearances. They are mostly used to manufacture fine packaging materials and are relatively expensive.   3. Hard mixed wood: belonging to the broad-leaved tree species, the wood hardness is higher than the first two. Usually, sawn timber such as elm, birch, locust, and willow are used for pallet making. Its texture is dense, the wood is hard and heavy, and its load-bearing capacity is excellent. But there are few large materials, and the prices are moderate

1. The appropriate size of wooden pallets must match the space size of the transportation vehicle, which can improve the space utilization of the transportation vehicle and save logistics transportation costs to the greatest extent possible (especially considering the box size of containers and transportation trucks) 2. The appropriate size of wooden pallets must match the size of each compartment in the warehouse, which can improve the loading rate of the warehouse 3. The appropriate size of the wooden pallet must match the packaging specifications of the loaded goods, which can maximize the utilization of the pallet's surface area and improve the load-bearing capacity of the wooden pallet 4. The appropriate size of the wooden pallet must match the structure of the forklift, which can improve its work efficiency In the field of foreign trade, the size of wooden pallets must take into account the export flow direction of the wooden pallets.

A pallet is a connecting pad for placing goods. According to different usage requirements and manufacturing materials, it can be divided into various types such as wood, plastic wood, plastic, metal, paper, etc.   The use of pallets can be basically divided into laying, stacking, and shelf use in static state, with increasing load-bearing requirements. The load-bearing capacity of a pallet is reflected in three aspects: static load, dynamic load, and shelf load, and the load-bearing index of the same pallet decreases sequentially in these three aspects. Wooden pallets: The performance and characteristics of wooden pallets come from the wood itself, and materials are the decisive factor in determining the application and price of wooden pallets. Defects of wooden pallets: ① Wood is susceptible to moisture, mold, insect infestation, and cannot be cleaned. In addition, the problem of wood chips falling off the surface and screws rusting cannot be overcome. ② Due to the fact that wood is a natural material, its quality is influenced by various factors such as regional climate. Even for the same batch of raw materials, it is difficult to meet unified standards in terms of dryness, humidity, and wind cracking. ③ Wooden pallets have a short service life, with a turnover frequency of approximately 200-300 times during regular use.  

Wooden pallets encounter a problem during long-term use, which is mold growth. It is not like other items that do not experience mold growth as long as they are used, but this is not the case with wooden pallets. So why do wooden pallets mold? Wooden pallets are mainly used in logistics and freight transportation for a long time, coming into contact with various different items, and experiencing wind, frost, and sun exposure, making them prone to chemical reactions. Do we have any anti mold methods to understand the causes of its occurrence?   1. Heat treatment. Heat treatment can generally kill insects or insect larvae in wood. Therefore, in theory, it can also kill mold, but the principle of heat treatment is to extract the moisture from the wood to the surface of the wood, which in turn creates an environment for the growth of mold. Therefore, it is best for manufacturers to add a dry process at the end of heat treatment, which undoubtedly increases the cost of making Shandong wooden pallets, resulting in many manufacturers being indecisive.   2. Dry air or kiln drying. Kiln drying is expensive and simple, causing cracks in the wood. The cost of air drying is slightly lower, but it takes longer.       The above editor has explained two common methods for preventing mold, but there are also some tips for preventing mold on wooden pallets. I will share them with you one by one, hoping to help you.   1. For manufacturers, there is a strong demand to know the purpose and application environment of the customer's purchased pallets, in order to recommend general wooden pallets, air dried wooden pallets, or kiln dried pallets based on different customer needs. For wooden pallet users, it is crucial to know how to scientifically and reasonably use and protect wooden pallets to avoid mold growth. We should adhere to the dryness and cleanliness of wooden pallets, and if possible, try to avoid leaving them unused for a long time. If it is necessary to clean the tray for cleaning reasons, it is necessary to dry it thoroughly before putting it back into use.   2. Think about chemicals. Nowadays, there are some good chemical products on the market that can effectively prevent the onset of mold, but the decision on whether to choose the end is still in the hands of users. After all, chemical disposal can bring other difficulties, especially for professions such as food and medicine, it is even more important to be cautious.   3. Thinking replaces products. If not properly stored, any type of wooden pallet can have the possibility of mold growth, but environmentally friendly non fumigation pallets, plastic pallets, and metal pallets are much less likely to have mold growth compared to green hardwood pallets. Of course, its cost is likely to be more valuable than wooden pallets.
