The PDS© (Pallet Design System) Software
provides vital packaging and shipping information in extensive detail. That information also assists us to maximize the design capabilities, reduce costs, and prevent damage during transit. It assures that we design the exact and appropriate pallet to meet your specifications and requirements. This software tests, calculates and measures each pallet design for strength, stress and efficiency. It also:

If your company does any in-house crating, we have a very cost-saving and efficient solution. Custom crating kits can be designed and packaged so they can be assembled at your facility. This space-saving option enables you to remove each precut crating section for assembly. Kit sections are usually stacked and packaged in reverse order so the crate can be assembled from the bottom up.
