Chemical pallets are offered nationwide by chemical pallet manufacturer Compliance Packaging International Ltd under the license number CP-984. CPI also delivers used chemical pallets to companies wishing to reduce pallet costs.
The chemical pallet designs were first created by European chemical and plastics companies to standardize pallet sizes.
Over time a number of other industries began moving goods on chemical pallets and recognized the value of having harmonized sizes and standards. In Europe, chemical pallets are exchangeable and possess a deposit value when returned to a pallet company.
Some users refer to chemical pallets as CPs or CP Pallets. Chemical pallets come in nine different design types and sizes.
In the United States and Canada the chemical pallet types 1 and 3 are the most widely used. Other less common chemical pallet types found in North America include the CP 6, as well as the CP 9, and CP 8. The other chemical pallet designs are rarely if ever seen in the Americas.
CP pallets generally correspond to a certain type of packaging and handling such as racked vs. floor stacked, and single stacked vs. multiple loaded units stacked atop each other. American chemical companies usually move their products in four primary types of packaging: drums -- both steel and plastic, supersacks, boxes, and bags.
Chemical Pallet 1 and Chemical Pallet 6 are pallets primarily used with sacks and boxes.
Chemical Pallet 2 was designed to replace the euro pallet. This pallet is sometimes used in North America in place of the euro pallet.
When transporting super sacks and large drums, users can choose between the CP 3 and CP 9.
Supersacks are generally the only packaging type that companies ship on CP 8 pallets.
