Are you spending more on claims than on your pallets?
When a pallet fails, the cost isn’t just a broken board—it’s lost product, downtime, freight claims, and customer frustration. For many businesses, those hidden costs quietly outpace what they spend on the pallets themselves. At Girard Wood Products, we believe the right pallet partner doesn’t just sell you wood—they protect your supply chain.
The Hidden Cost of Cheap Pallets
It’s tempting to chase the lowest unit price, but the cheapest pallet is rarely the least expensive in the long run. When a pallet collapses under load or splinters during transport, it triggers a cascade of expenses: damaged goods, return shipments, insurance claims, and lost time on the warehouse floor.
Every failed pallet erodes trust—with your customers and your bottom line.
That’s why quality and reliability are the foundation of everything we build at Girard Wood Products.
Built to Withstand the Real World
For over six decades, Girard has refined how durable wood pallets should be built. From the raw material to the final inspection, we focus on precision, strength, and consistency.
- Reduced product damage and freight claims
- Fewer stoppages in warehouse operations
- Longer pallet life cycles
The result? Less waste, less downtime, and fewer calls to the claims department.
