Against the backdrop of accelerating global supply chain restructuring, plastic pallets, as the core carrier of modular logistics, are undergoing a transformation from traditional tools to intelligent nodes. Compared to wooden cardboard, its waterproof and anti moth properties significantly extend its service life, and the integrated production process is more in line with the standardization requirements of modern automated warehousing. In recent years, with the booming development of cross-border e-commerce and intelligent manufacturing, the value of plastic pallets in reducing logistics losses and improving turnover efficiency has become increasingly prominent.
Structural Design and Functional Evolution
The structural innovation of contemporary plastic cardboards is mainly reflected in three aspects: bottom support system, surface anti slip texture, and edge reinforcement design. The nine legged card board, with its lightweight characteristics, has become the preferred choice for high-frequency turnover in the retail industry; The Sichuan shaped structure achieves a leap in mechanical performance through longitudinal reinforcement ribs, which can stably carry heavy industrial components; The Tian shaped grid, with its uniform stress distribution, has established advantages in precision transportation scenarios such as pharmaceutical cold chains. It is worth noting that the emergence of foldable design has completely changed the loading mode of cross-border logistics, and the volume can be compressed to one-fifth of its original state when unloaded for recycling.
Material Revolution and Application Expansion
High density polyethylene (HDPE) material endows cardboards with excellent low-temperature toughness, making them irreplaceable in frozen chain logistics; Polypropylene (PP) cardstock has become a standard for the transportation of automotive parts due to its excellent impact resistance. In the field of electronic manufacturing, the application of anti-static formulas effectively solves the risk of electrostatic damage during the handling of precision components. More groundbreaking is that bio based biodegradable materials are rewriting industry environmental standards, and these types of pallets can be completely decomposed through industrial composting after their service life ends.
Industry adaptation and scenario innovation
The food and beverage industry usually uses a blue cardboard system, which not only quickly identifies the category of goods, but also contains antibacterial agents that can inhibit microbial growth. Chemical companies tend to use black UV resistant cardboard to ensure structural stability in outdoor storage environments. In intelligent manufacturing factories, smart cards embedded with RFID chips are forming deep collaboration with AGV robots to track material flow in real-time. A case study of an international fast-moving consumer goods brand shows that through standardized plastic card pool systems, its warehousing efficiency in the Asia Pacific region has increased by nearly 30%.
