Advantages of EPAL certified pallets

The widespread adoption of EPAL pallets throughout Europe and their availability in more than 35 countries underlines their pivotal role in global logistics.

1. Quality Standards and Certification: European pallets must meet the quality and strength standards set by EPAL. This ensures that the pallets are interchangeable and suitable for use in the transport and storage of goods in Europe.
2. Standardised Sizes: European pallets come in a range of sizes and dimensions, from 800 mm x 1200 mm to 2000 mm x 1200 mm. They are large enough to transport bulky items safely and are highly standardised, enabling a powerful supply chain network that can meet virtually any freight delivery requirement.
3. Wide circulation: Around 650 million European pallets are currently in circulation worldwide. They are safe, cross borders and ensure convenient and manageable transport of goods.

How to mark a pallet?

Traditionally, pallet marking has been done using incandescent wedges pressed into the wood. This method, although resistant, is limited in flexibility and requires an initial design of the metal wedge with the marking to be made. Each new marking involves a new wedge design process and changes in the production line, which leads to stoppages in the process.

Existe un sistema de marcaje económico, duradero y flexible, que se integra fácilmente en la línea de producción, (incluso en espacios limitados o de difícil acceso), se trata de la impresora de inyección de tinta de alta resolución S-Print Modular, certificada por EPAL. No importa la dirección en la que se necesite marcar, la impresora S-Print Modular se adapta a la línea y realiza un marcaje de hasta 70 mm.

The precision of the inkjet printer ensures clear and uniform marking, crucial for compliance with EPAL standards. These markings are resistant to phytosanitary treatments, ensuring they remain legible and durable throughout the life cycle of the pallet. This reliability not only meets but exceeds the stringent quality requirements set by EPAL.

By choosing the S-Print Modular inkjet printer, you invest in a solution that ensures high quality, cost-effective and efficient pallet marking. This not only improves operational efficiency, but also conforms to global safety and quality standards, improving supply chain operations and contributing to a more sustainable future.
