NAPD

What is the NAPD?

  • Only companies agreeing to meet these standards are admitted to membership.
  • The services provided by NAPD members include sales of new and used pallets, pallet repair services, packing cases, export packing, factory clearance and wood waste disposal.

Why should I buy used pallets?

  • Used pallets are exempt from packaging waste regulations, so buyers are spared the costs and paperwork of meeting these regulations.
  • It makes economic sense to buy quality used pallets or use a repair service.
  • Used pallets are cheaper than new and so are more cost effective.
