Buy
Pallets
Request new or recycled pallets in A, B or C grade through partner suppliers in the Baltimore area.
What You Can Request
New Pallets
Freshly built wood pallets in standard or custom sizes, useful when you need uniform quality or specific dimensions. A partner supplier quotes based on size, board specification and quantity.
Recycled and Used Pallets
Reconditioned or sorted used pallets sold by grade. A common choice for one-way shipping and general warehouse use, and usually a lower-cost route than new.
Heat-Treated Pallets for Export
If your freight leaves the country, ask the supplier for ISPM 15 stamped pallets. Wood packaging for international shipments is expected to carry the mark.
Custom and Plastic Pallets
Odd-size loads or special handling needs can be sent to suppliers who build custom wood pallets or sell plastic ones. Tell us the load and we pass it on.
New or
Recycled?
Both are widely used. The right pick depends on how the pallet will be used and how long you need it to last.
When New Makes Sense
New pallets suit automated lines, racking, heavy products, and any customer who inspects or rejects worn pallets. Boards are uniform and nothing has been repaired, so they behave predictably. Expect a higher quote than recycled in exchange for that consistency. Tell the supplier your product weight and whether pallets will sit in racking.
When Recycled Makes Sense
Recycled pallets fit general warehouse storage, one-way shipments and floor-loaded product. Reusing a pallet avoids building a new one, and the cost is usually lower. Quality varies by grade and supplier, so ask what the grade means in practice and whether boards have been repaired or replaced.
A, B and C
Grades
Grades are a shorthand suppliers use for condition. Definitions differ a little between suppliers, so confirm what yours means.
Grade A
Cleanest and most uniform used pallets, with few repairs and matching boards. Often chosen where appearance or consistent stacking matters.
Grade B
Some repairs and mixed board colors are normal. A common all-round choice for warehouse use and domestic shipping.
Grade C
Heavier use and more visible wear. Suited to light loads, floor storage, or situations where the pallet will not be returned.
If you mix grades in one order, say so in your request and say whether you want them kept in separate stacks.
Sizes and
Construction
Getting the size and style right avoids most problems with a first order.
Standard Sizes
The 48x40 inch GMA pallet is the most familiar size in North America. Others you may hear about include 48x48, 42x42 and 40x48, plus metric sizes like 1200x1000 mm for some export and import freight.
Give dimensions as length by width, and say which side the forks enter, since 48x40 and 40x48 are not always the same thing to a supplier. If you are unsure, send your product footprint or a photo of what you use now.
Stringer or Block, Two-Way or Four-Way
Stringer pallets have three parallel boards running under the deck and are typically entered by forks from two sides. Block pallets use blocks between the decks and usually allow entry from all four sides, which can help in tight aisles.
Also mention whether you use pallet jacks, forklifts or automated equipment, and whether the pallets will go in racking. Suppliers can then suggest a style that fits.
Export and Heat Treatment
ISPM 15 is the international standard for treating wood packaging. Heat treatment means the wood reaches a core temperature of 56 °C for at least 30 minutes, and compliant pallets carry a stamp with an HT mark. Methyl bromide treatment (MB) has been phased down in many places. Ask the supplier for ISPM 15 stamped pallets and check current regulations and your receiving country's requirements before shipping, especially for freight leaving through the Port of Baltimore.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which pallet grades can I ask for?

48x40 inch GMA is the most familiar, with 48x48, 42x42, 40x48 and metric sizes like 1200x1000 mm also in use. Custom sizes can be requested from suppliers who build them.

Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers. It depends on grade, size, quantity and delivery location, so include those details in your request.
