Many businesses overlook the importance of choosing the right type of pallet, but it can make a big difference in shipping efficiency and cost. The two most commonly used pallet grades are Grade A and Grade B. While both are functional, they serve different needs and come with distinct characteristics.
Grade A pallets are often referred to as "premium" or "like new." These are lightly used pallets that have not undergone major repairs. They’re sturdy, clean, and consistent in size and structure. Businesses that ship products to retailers or export goods internationally often prefer Grade A pallets because of their professional appearance and reliability.
On the other hand, Grade B pallets have been used multiple times and may show signs of repair, such as replaced deck boards or stringers. They are just as structurally sound for many applications, especially for internal warehouse use or short-haul transportation. Because they’re more affordable, Grade B pallets offer excellent value when aesthetics and presentation are not the top priority.
