All Size Pallet has everything that you could need in a manufacturing company. Their recycling program is not only green and earth friendly, but it is progressive and innovative. Being a family owned company they have the personalized touch that makes you feel like family instead of just another customer. I know I will be taken care of properly for any of my manufacturing needs. I would happily recommend All Size to anyone looking for a great manufacturing company.

Been working here for about a month love all the people and environment. The pallets that we build here are at the highest quality and we always make sure that the customer gets their order even if it means we have to go to superior lengths. Whenever I need pallets and boxes in the future I will always go to this company first. And have recommended them to all my previous employers.

All-Size Pallets have been more than generous with my fundraising efforts for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3 Day (walking 60 miles over the course of 3 days) by donating pallets to us to make assorted types of flags for us to sell. Mike worked with me with the types of pallets that were needed & has been very pleasant to work with. When it comes to the point where we would need to purchase pallets we will definitely go through this company. It has been an awesome experience!! =D

I've conducted business with All Size for the past two years and I can say without a doubt that they are thee best Pallet company out there. They have amazing customer service, An example, of how great their customer service is that I often find myself in a pinch where I am about to run out of pallets and i have many orders ready to be shipped without pallets to be shipped on, I call All Size and Mike calms any fears I have by reassuring me he will have my order the next day, and he always does and is never late, I can trust this company thoroughly and I have never said that about another business. Not only do they have the lowest prices in the state of Michigan but their quality is superb. I've never had a problem with this company whatsoever and in the world of purchasing and having pallets delivered, problems often occur. You wont regret using this company for your pallet needs.

I'm glad I came across All Size Pallets while searching for heat-treated pallets online. I like to support Michigan-based companies if I can. While there are many options to choose from to purchase pallets online Mike was always prompt in answering e-mails and made sure I was going to get exactly what I was looking for with my order, which I plan to use to make furniture. He and the staff were very friendly and professional. They offered me different price and delivery options, so I wasn't forced to buy the most expensive--especially b/c they don't typically work with smaller orders and the pallets are in great condition! I would highly recommend All Size Pallets, the product and sales experience was above and beyond my expectations, which any consumer only hopes for.

Wood Pallets, Skids, and Crates: What’s the Difference?

All Size Pallets specializes in the manufacturing and reconditioning of wood pallets for Michigan businesses. Although pallets, skids, and crates all have unique features and uses, we often hear the terms used interchangeably. So, what exactly is the difference between a pallet, a skid, and a crate?

All three are, of course, used for the shipping and storing of materials. All three can be made of wood. They can also be made of other materials, like durable industrial plastic or even metal. Yet each of the three have their own strengths, weaknesses, and ideal uses. All Size Pallets works with each of our Michigan client companies to determine if our wood pallets will best meet the needs for their project.

Wood Shipping Crates

A shipping crate is considerably easier to tell apart from a skid and pallet than a shipping pallet and skid are from each other. While the latter two both tend to be flat and mostly used for product transport, a crate is made with four walls as well as a floor in order to be useful for holding supplies, products, or anything else that needs to be securely stored. They are, essentially, wooden boxes. Because they can hold a large volume, wood shipping crates are a necessary part of the storage and shipping process.

Unfortunately, their bulky shape makes them less easy to transport. That’s where wood skids and shipping pallets come in.

Wooden Skids

At first glance, wood skids may look very similar to wood shipping pallets. In fact, the terms “skid” and “pallet” are often used interchangeably when talking about wooden manufacturing platforms! However, there is a difference: a skid, unlike a pallet, only has one wooden deck. Unlike a wood pallet, a skid is only built with one completely flat surface– the top. Instead of resting its weight on a bottom deck, it instead rests its weight on vertical slats or legs.

Because there is less surface area on the bottom of a skid, it makes dragging skids loaded with materials much easier than dragging a similarly sized pallet. Essentially, the lack of a bottom deck allows less friction. If you need to transport a large amount of your company’s materials from one place to another (for example, in a wood shipping crate), placing it on a skid will allow for easy transportation. This becomes even more true if the pallet has a center stringer, allowing for use with a fork lift.

“Nestable pallets,” or skids which are easily stackable for maximum storage, are also, technically, skids; they still don’t have that bottom deck. Normally, wood pallets with their two flat upper and lower decks are preferable for stacking supplies. Nestable pallets represent a more flexible middle ground between the benefits of a skid and those of a pallet.

Wood Shipping Pallets

So then, what are the benefits of a pallet? We’ve already discussed that a wood shipping pallet, unlike a wood skid, will have that second, flat bottom deck. This deck makes stacking pallets for storage very easy, and makes stacking crates of materials on top of each other very sturdy and providing improved cube efficiency. If the same were tried with a normal skid (not a stackable one), the lack of a flat bottom surface would make weight distribution precarious.

The double deck build of a wood pallet also makes it more convenient for racking. The bottom deck allows a pallet to provide resistance against falling while it’s loaded onto a storage rack or a fork lift.
