Pallet makers complain that natural grains and imperfections in wood pallet blocks cause wide variations in pallet quality and consistency.
End-users struggle with the waste, durability, efficiency and safety issues that pallets create. Product damage and injuries from "nail pops" and broken deck boards are also an ongoing frustration.
Now Sonoco offers a better way: FirmaGuard wood pallet components—engineered for maximum nail retention and strength—to make softwood and hardwood pallets better, reduce waste and outperform natural wood. Wood components are certified TBA- and TBP-free.
