Polmac (UK) Ltd uses euro-pallets to ship its customized, wood presentation boxes to the UK and other European destinations.
The euro-pallet measures 800 x 1200 mm and is a block-style, uni-directional base pallet. Most European businesses prefer euro pallets because their warehouse systems are generally designed around them.

Shrink Wrapping Polmac Load On Euro-Pallet
Euro pallets are well made, stronger, stiffer and more durable than most other pallets currently in use and therefore last longer. Furthermore, using euro-pallets tends to incur lower product damage claims, due to stringent EU regulations governing their manufacture and use.
Alternative pallets used in Europe may be subject to delays and disposal charges.
The euro-pallet evolved in the 1960's when the European railways wanted a standard pallet type for use on the railway network.
It was found that loading euro-pallets on railway carriages took just 10% of the time than previously when non-standard pallets were in use. In 1968 a standard lattice box pallet design was specified.
Most European businesses quickly switched to the standard euro-pallet design for use with trucks, forklifts and high-rack warehouses, optimized for their size.
Agreements were developed for pallet exchange between organizations where goods would be delivered on euro-pallets and the same number would be given in return.
Today, there are literally thousands of surplus euro-pallets in circulation. One project uses wooden pallets, including euro-pallets to build cheap, environmentally friendly houses that can be turned into permanent homes for the needy!
House Made From Wooden Pallets
To create one house, measuring approximately 3m x 6m requires only 80 pallets. They are nailed or strapped together to form the walls and partitions.
Then, locally sourced materials such as stone, earth, wood and corrugated sheeting can be used to fill in the wall cavities and cover the roof, to create a permanent, water-tight and insulated structure.
