Pallite® ISPM-15 Exempt Shipping Crates
Strong Shipping. Smart Compliance. Sustainable Choice.
As an official distributor of Pallite, Sustainable Packaging Scotland is proud to offer the ISPM-15 Exempt Shipping Crates — engineered to offer you international shipping readiness without the hassle of wooden crate treatments, while supporting your sustainability commitments.
✅ Why Choose ISPM-15 Exempt Crates?
-
Avoid ISPM-15 treatment and certification: Traditional wooden crates used for international export must comply with the ISPM 15 standard (heat-treatment or fumigation of solid wood) — adding cost, time and risk of non-compliance.
-
Fully recyclable and paper-based construction: Made from reinforced honeycomb board paper materials, these crates sidestep wood-based regulatory burdens and support circular-economy thinking.
-
Lightweight yet strong: They weigh as little as ~12.4 kg (versus heavy wooden alternatives) and offer stacking/loading capacities of up to 750 kg (depending on specification).
-
Customisable & efficient: From bespoke CNC inserts to collapsible crates, the design supports high-value goods, rapid deployment and space-saving storage.
-
Lower shipping costs & carbon footprint: By reducing weight and simplifying export compliance, these crates help you ship smarter and greener.
