New Custom Pallets

Specialty pallets engineered to your load, your racking, and your shipping standards — built new, built right.

Worker building a new custom wood pallet
Overview

Pallets built to your exact spec

When a stock pallet doesn’t fit your product, your racking, or your customer’s shipping standard, we build new ones that do. Every Pallet Nation custom pallet starts with quality, sustainably harvested lumber and is engineered around the real load it has to carry — weight, dimensions, stack height, racking type, and how it’s handled on your dock.

We build both stringer and block designs in 2-way or 4-way entry, from the standard 48×40 GMA footprint to oversized, heavy-duty units. Boards are precision-cut and fastened on automated nailing systems with reinforced construction where the load demands it — so the pallet is never the weak link in your shipment.

  • Any footprint — standard 48×40 to oversized heavy-duty
  • Stringer or block; 2-way or 4-way entry
  • Engineered to your load rating and racking system
  • ISPM-15 heat-treatment available for export orders
How It’s Made

From raw lumber to ready-to-load

Every custom order runs the same disciplined pipeline — so what comes off the line is consistent, compliant, and built to last.

01

Source Lumber

We start with quality, sustainably harvested SPF, Southern Yellow Pine, or hardwood — graded for your load and moisture spec.

02

Precision Cut

Every board is cut to size on industrial saws for consistent strength, clean edges, and exact dimensions.

03

Assemble

Built on high-powered automated nailing systems with reinforced construction to your deck style, entry, and load rating.

04

Quality Control

Each unit is inspected for structural integrity, dimensional accuracy, fastener hold, and overall load readiness.

05

Heat-Treat & Stamp

For export, pallets are kiln heat-treated to ISPM-15, moisture-verified, stamped, and documented.

06

Band & Deliver

Finished pallets are stacked, banded, and delivered on your timeline — ready for immediate use.

Spec It Right

Four choices that define your pallet

New to ordering custom? These are the four decisions that drive cost, handling, and durability. Not sure? We’ll walk you through it.

Entry — 2-Way or 4-Way

How the forks get in. Two-way enters from opposite sides; four-way enters from all sides for faster handling and tighter spaces.

Construction — Stringer or Block

Three stringers for economical freight, or nine blocks for true 4-way entry, automation, and pooling stability.

Deck Configuration

Single or double-face, flush or wing, board count and spacing — all tuned to your product and how it’s loaded.

Load Rating

Light, standard, or heavy-duty — engineered to your static (stacked), dynamic (in transit), and racking weights.

Heat-Treatment & Compliance

Shipping overseas? We’ve got the stamp

Any custom order can be made export-ready. Pallets are processed through certified heat-treatment kilns, moisture-checked, then stamped and documented to meet ISPM-15 — the international standard for wood packaging. That means no surprises at customs and no rejected freight.

  • Certified heat-treatment kilns
  • Stamping & compliance documentation
  • Moisture checks & quality verification

Common applications

Custom new pallets show up wherever the load, the racking, or a customer spec rules out a generic pallet.

FAQ

Good to know

Still have a question? Call +1 (909) 509-5026.

It depends on the size and design, but we handle everything from small specialty runs to high-volume repeat orders. Tell us your quantity and we’ll confirm pricing and lead time.

Yes. Send us a sample or the dimensions and load details and we’ll reverse-engineer it exactly — or suggest improvements if we spot a weak point.

Stringer pallets are economical and ideal for standard freight. Block pallets give true 4-way entry and suit automation, racking, and pooling. Send your load and handling details and we’ll recommend the right one.

Primarily new SPF and Southern Yellow Pine, with hardwood options for heavy-duty loads. We select grade and moisture content to suit the application.

Absolutely. Any custom order can be ISPM-15 heat-treated, stamped, and documented for international shipping. Just let us know the destination when you request a quote.

We quote lead time along with your price — usually within one business day — and schedule production runs around your throughput so reorders stay on time.
