Retail Solutions
Describe your store, display or distribution pallet needs once, and we connect you with partner suppliers in the New Orleans area.
Retail Display Pallets
Pallets used on the sales floor are seen by customers, so appearance matters. We connect you with partner suppliers who can quote the grade you describe.
- Grade A pallets are generally the cleanest and most uniform
- Clean surfaces suit direct display
- Consistent dimensions help uniform presentation
- Describe the stacked weight of your merchandise
- Partner suppliers may be able to build to your dimensions
- Availability depends on partner suppliers
Back-of-House Storage
Stockroom pallets matter more for strength than looks:

- Say which racking or shelving the pallets must fit
- Note the product weights you will store
- Various sizes can be requested for different merchandise
- Describe how staff will move them: jack, forklift or by hand

Retail Distribution
Distribution operations supplying stores need pallets that work with dock equipment:
- The standard 48x40 GMA size is the most common
- Mixed grades can be requested for different uses
- Stronger grades suit repeated handling
- Request pickup of surplus pallets in the same form

- A partner supplier follows up with what is available
Store Deliveries
If you supply several stores, consistency helps:
- Ask for the same size and grade across locations
- Describe each delivery location in your request
- Whether a partner supplier can serve each one depends on the supplier
- Say how often you expect to need pallets

Choosing a Grade
The general meaning of each grade:
- Grade A: the most uniform, typically newer or like-new pallets
- Grade B: sound pallets that may show repairs or wear but remain usable
- Grade C: older or mixed pallets, typically for lighter or one-time use
- Capacity depends on design, condition and how the load is supported
- Reusing a pallet avoids building a new one
- Ask a partner supplier which grade fits your use
