Pallet Collar
A pallet collar is essentially an add-on frame that sits snugly on a pallet base, held together by hinges that allow it to fold flat when not in use. The standard design uses four wooden boards (often softwood like pine or plywood, heat-treated to ISPM-15 standards for international shipping) or plastic panels, with galvanized steel hinges at each corner. These hinges enable the collar to collapse, saving up to 80% of storage space compared to rigid boxes. Sizes typically match common pallet dimensions—e.g., 800x1200 mm (Euro pallet), 1000x1200 mm (UK standard), or 600x800 mm—with heights ranging from 100 mm to 400 mm per collar, stackable to meet specific needs. Pallet collars bridge simplicity and sophistication in packaging, offering a collapsible, customizable, and cost-effective solution for palletized goods. From enhancing carton pallet stability to replacing bulky crates, they adapt to diverse needs while prioritizing sustainability and efficiency. Whether in a warehouse, on a truck, or in a garden, pallet collars prove that smart design can solve big challenges.
Applications
- Materials: Primarily kiln-dried softwood (22-25 mm thick), though plywood, OSB, or recycled plastic options are available. Plastic collars are lighter and more durable in wet conditions.
- Dimensions: Standard sizes align with pallets (e.g., 1200x800x200 mm), but custom sizes can be manufactured. Heights commonly include 100, 200, 300, or 400 mm per unit.
- Load Capacity: Supports vary by material and stacking—wooden collars handle 500-1000 kg per pallet when stacked properly, while plastic can exceed this for specific designs.
- Hinges: Galvanized steel, allowing collapse and reassembly without tools. Some designs feature a hinged “door” panel for easy access.
- Weight: A single wooden collar weighs 5-10 kg, depending on size and thickness; plastic versions are lighter, around 3-6 kg.
- Add-Ons: Lids, dividers, or stacking corners enhance functionality, turning the collar into a fully enclosed crate or segmented storage unit.
Key Benefits
- Flexibility: Stack multiple collars to adjust height—e.g., three 200 mm collars on a pallet create a 600 mm deep container. No assembly required; they slot onto pallets instantly.
- Space Efficiency: Collapsible design reduces storage footprint by 80% when empty, ideal for reverse logistics or warehouse optimization.
- Cost Savings: Reusable and durable, they cut replacement costs compared to one-use crates. Stackability maximizes shipping volume, reducing freight expenses.
- Product Protection: Encloses goods, preventing spillage, damage, or theft. Paired with edgeboards or honeycomb wrap, they safeguard fragile items like electronics or glassware.
- Sustainability: Wooden collars are often made from renewable timber, heat-treated rather than chemically impregnated, and recyclable. Plastic versions are fully recyclable at end-of-life.
