Let’s start with ‘Standard’. We’re often asked for ‘Standard sized pallets’ and our response is always to confirm exact sizes, pallet construction and load capacity, as one person’s ‘Standard’ is not necessarily the same as the next. We get so used to the pallet size that we’re most familiar with and could be forgiven for assuming it’s the ‘Standard’ size.

Sometimes you may find you require a pallet that is custom sized to the space or load weight you need it to bear. In these cases custom pallets can be made to order. If you require a custom sized pallet, call or email our team and we’d be happy to assist and advise you.

Developed in cooperation with the Chemical Industry Association, CP pallets are widely used by the chemical and construction industries, the primary distinguishing factor is their uniformity and strong closely spaced boards. Almost all CP pallets are winged as the board overlap helps to protect the blocks and the integrity of the pallet should any product spill onto the wood. The winged edges also help with shrink-wrapping pallet loads, a method commonly used in the Chemical industry.

To begin, we’re going to look at the pallet types available in the dimensions that most of our UK domestic customers would call ‘Standard’ size.

In the past, each industry would make pallets for their own purposes, not caring what size the other industries were making theirs.

Yes, that’s right, while we’ve said there’s no such thing as ‘Standard’, that comes with a caveat. There is a ‘Standard UK’ size which measures 1200x1000mm, as there are ‘Standard’ sizes for other regions of the world. Be aware that ‘UK Standard’ pallets are not the same size as ‘European Standard’ pallets.

We have many of the most common pallet sizes you’re likely to come across, but there are plenty more region specific sizes that we’ve not mentioned. But believe it or not, the world’s pallet sizes are significantly more streamlined than they used to be, thanks to the efforts of regional and global organisations.

There are 6 ISO approved global pallet sizes available.–If your pallets are likely to travel to every corner of the world, selecting one of these approved sizes could be beneficial and prevent you from having to switch pallets to local sizes at the other end of their journey.

And on the continent, they have a slightly different sizing convention. The classic “Euro-sized” pallet size is 1200 x 800mm. In fact, these euro pallets are so common in the UK that often these are the ‘Standard’ pallets our customers are looking for. As a rule of thumb, if your pallets are non-domestic then these are likely the pallets you’ll be using.

Having more ‘Standard’ pallet sizes across the world has been massively beneficial for trade industries, and while there are still plenty of region-specific and country specific sizes, these are becoming less popular, so we expect the less commonly used sizes will eventually die out.

The ‘UK Standard’ pallet size comes in many varieties, and the lingo used to name or describe them can vary between pallet companies:

Euro-size pallets may also have stamps on them to tell you where they were made (ie which brand of EUR pallet they are such as EPAL, UIC, MAV etc) or how they’ve been treated, read our Ultimate Guide To Pallet Markings blog to learn more about pallet markings.

And while there are a variety of other local pallet sizes abroad, we’re going to finish our guide by talking about CP pallets. CP pallets come in a variety of sizes.

As above with the ISO pallet sizes, you’ll notice that there are a few square pallets used around the world, but not in use so much in the UK and Europe. In North America they frequently use square pallets and different sized square pallets are used in different industries. There are 12 North American Pallet sizes, of which four are square.

The more popular sized emerged as a result of common use and trade routes. The European market would transport goods by train, and so made small pallets that would fit into trains and easily fit through doorways, hence 800mm wide (with most doorways in Europe measuring 850mm wide). Trade between the UK and North America was mostly by boat, so their pallets were sized to fit into shipping containers with as little wasted space as possible.
