Less Than Load Shipments
For LTL shipments, the PalletKraft Pallet will not only save you money; in many cases, it will more than pay for itself.
This chart illustrates the potential savings in freight costs when using lightweight PalletKraft Pallets instead of
wood pallets. Due to the 30-pound difference in pallet weight, in this LTL scenario, the PalletKraft customer would
save $6.52 per pallet for a 300-mile, Class 70 trek.

Air Shipments
Today, many companies increasingly ship via air freight. Savings associated with air shipments are even more
dramatic than LTL truck shipments. PalletKraft Pallets not only pay for themselves, they significantly add to your
bottom-line. The chart below illustrates the potential savings in freight costs when using a PalletKraft Pallet
instead of a wood pallet. Due to an average 45-pound difference in pallet weight, in this Air Freight scenario, the
PalletKraft customer would save $58.50 per pallet assuming $1.30 per pound in freight costs. |
