Pallet Logistics: International Supply Chain Optimization

1. Euro Pallet (EPAL / EUR) payload standards

For standard 330 ml beverage cans, pallet geometry is crucial to maximize cargo volume while protecting packaging integrity:

• Shrink trays: 24 cans per tray encased in heavy-duty thermal film.
• Layer configuration: up to 9 layers (2,160 cans per standard Euro pallet).
• Average pallet weight: 780–820 kg, ensuring balanced axle distribution in curtain-sider trucks and sea containers.

2. Thermal protection and cargo securing

During ocean transit across warm regions (such as the Gulf States or West Africa):

• Thermal container liners protect against extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Heavy-duty corner boards and high-tension stretch wrapping prevent pallet shifting during ocean voyages.
• Tamper-evident serialized security seals applied to each individual pallet.
