Our goal is to be a single-source packaging solutions provider for all our customers.  Custom Pallet & Crating takes this approach one significant step further. Through our Custom Partnering programs we will work with you to develop mutually beneficial systems that meet agreed upon goals. These may include cost reduction, truck and shipping savings, outsourcing of logistics management, opening up dock and warehouse space and many other issues.

On-Site Pallet Management is a program tailored to take your company out of the pallet business and allow you to return to your core responsibilities of product distribution. Many companies have found that these programs increase their efficiencies and lower their costs, allowing them to focus on their core business.

Turnkey Pallet Control One example is a Pallet Management and Logistics Program through which we assume responsibility for on-site pallet sorting and logistics – an area in which we specialize. In fact our management team has over 45 years of experience in pallet management. We are financially strong and independent which enables us to invest in the capital needed to make these partnerships a success. We manage all personnel, customer relations and associated administrative costs.

  Features and Benefits include:

• The Distribution Center (DC) focuses on its core responsibilities of distribution and not on non-productive pallet activities.
• Labor costs associated with pallet sortation, pallet unloading, and pallet loading is eliminated.
• An agreed upon inventory of good pallets is maintained for the DC’s usage.
• Pallet handling within, and in and out of the DC is reduced.
• More precise sorting occurs providing more quality pallets for the DC’s operation.
• CPC employs associates at your DC to manage your pallets. These associates are hired based on your criteria and expected to work according to your policies and guidelines. If your DC has a formal training and/or safety program, our associates participate.
• Staffing is based on the needs and activity of your center and will flow according to your demands.
• CPC sorts all pallets; White, odd size, and rental pallets.
• An agreed upon inventory and safety stock of good 48 x 40 pallets is maintained at your DC at all times.
• The broken/odd size pallets are loaded onto CPC trailers.
• On-site staff is responsible for notifying CPC dispatch of full trailers.
• Any cardboard, plastic, and other materials mixed in pallets are taken to your compactor area.
• CPC maintains a clean and safe work area.
• On-site staff maintains a daily activity report listing the pallets sorted and trailers loaded. This report is faxed to CPC each day and a copy is provided to our liaison. These reports are consolidated monthly and provided within 10 business days the following month.
• CPC provides a certificate of insurance for liability and workers compensation.

All of which provides customers a variety of opportunities for increased revenue, lighter repair, freight and logistics savings and no need for proprietary pallets from vendors. We will be happy to share the win-win results these programs deliver for our current partners.

  In Addition:
If your Distribution Center generates sufficient volume of pallets per day, an automated sort system can be installed. In addition to the previous page, this system offers the following:

• Automated sortation
• Less labor force required
• Accurate and timely reporting
• Reduced dependency on labor
• Monitored accountability
• Higher caliber of labor force

  Does your DC need an On-Site Program?

• How much is your DC spending on internal pallet handling? Are associates dedicated to unloading, loading and sorting pallets?
• How much equipment is involved in these processes?
• Are you under pressure to increase your labor efficiencies? Are you under pressure to reduce your operational costs?
• Are pallets a constant source of aggravation for you and your management team?

To answer these important questions, CPC offers a no obligation needs assessment at your DC.  CPC analyzes your current pallet movement and provides cost data of your current pallet operation. After generating your current internal pallet handling costs, a spreadsheet is provided listing your costs and potential savings of an On-site Pallet Mgmt. Program.

Our Quality Control Program featuring Pallet Track is unique allowing us to account for each pallet.  Each pallet is bar coded identifying CPC, the grade, and the repair technician.
