Corrugated Paper Slip Sheet for Safe & Efficient Unit Load Transport

Product profile

A kraft paper slip sheet is a thin, sturdy sheet made from heavy-duty kraft paper (often 2-5mm thick) used as a pallet-free base for transporting and storing goods. It serves as a lightweight, cost-effective alternative to wooden or plastic pallets, designed for use with forklift push-pull attachments.

Product application

1. Preparing the Load

• Place the slip sheet on a flat, stable surface.
• Stack products evenly on top (just like palletizing).
• Secure the load with stretch wrap, straps, or adhesive to prevent shifting.

2. Handling with a Forklift (Push-Pull Attachment Required)

• Step 1: The forklift operator positions the push-pull clamp over the extended lip (called the ”tab”).
• Step 2: The clamp grips the tab and pulls the slip sheet (with the load) onto the forklift’s platform.
• Step 3: To unload, the forklift pushes the slip sheet off onto the ground or rack.

3. Alternative Handling Methods

• Manual Handling (for lighter loads): Workers can slide the slip sheet using the tab.
• Pallet-Compatible Use: Can be placed on top of a pallet for extra stability.

Why the slip sheet is more popular than traditional pallet

1. Cost Efficiency

• Lower Material Cost: Slip sheets are made from thin, durable materials (like corrugated fiberboard or plastic), which are cheaper than wooden or plastic pallets.
• Reduced Shipping Costs: Since they are lightweight and flat, slip sheets save on freight weight and maximize container space (no pallet height or weight).
• No Pallet Return or Disposal Fees: Unlike pallets, slip sheets are often disposable or reusable without the need for reverse logistics.

2. Space Savings

• Compact Storage: Slip sheets take up minimal space compared to bulky pallets, allowing more efficient warehousing and shipping.
• Higher Load Capacity per Container: Without pallet height restrictions, more goods can fit in a truck or shipping container.

3. Sustainability & Eco-Friendliness

• Less Material Waste: Slip sheets use fewer raw materials than pallets, reducing environmental impact.
• Recyclable & Lightweight: Many are made from recyclable materials, lowering carbon footprint in transport.

4. Improved Handling Efficiency

• Faster Loading/Unloading: With push-pull attachments or forklift clamps, slip sheets allow quick handling without manual pallet handling.
• Automation-Friendly: Ideal for automated warehouses and robotic systems, as they require less space and can be easily integrated into conveyor systems.

5. Better Hygiene & Safety

• No Nails or Splinters: Unlike wooden pallets, slip sheets eliminate the risk of product damage or worker injuries from broken pallets.
• Sanitary Benefits: Plastic or coated slip sheets are easier to clean, making them ideal for food, pharmaceuticals, and cleanroom environments.

6. Customization & Flexibility

• Tailored Sizes & Materials: Slip sheets can be customized for different load types (e.g., anti-slip coatings for fragile goods).
• Compatible with Unit Loads: They work well with stretch wrap or strapping, securing loads just as effectively as pallets.

The advantage of slip sheet

1. Cost Savings

• Lower material cost – Made from affordable corrugated fiberboard, plastic, or laminated sheets.
• Reduced shipping expenses – Lighter weight = lower freight costs; no wasted space from pallet height.
• No pallet management – Eliminates pallet return, repair, or disposal fees.

2. Space & Storage Efficiency

• Ultra-thin design – Saves up to 90% storage space vs. bulky pallets.
• Maximizes container capacity – Fits more goods per truck/shipping container (no pallet footprint).

3. Sustainability Benefits

• Eco-friendly materials – Often recyclable or biodegradable (e.g., paperboard).
• Lower carbon footprint – Reduced transport weight and fewer raw materials used.

4. Logistics Optimization

• Faster handling – Push-pull forklift attachments enable quick loading/unloading.
• Automation-ready – Ideal for robotic warehouses and conveyor systems.
• Better load stability – Compatible with stretch wrap, straps, or interlocking designs.

5. Hygiene & Safety

• No splinters/nails – Safer for workers and products vs. wooden pallets.
• Cleanroom-friendly – Plastic or coated slip sheets meet food/pharma hygiene standards.

6. Customization & Versatility

• Tailored sizes/thicknesses – Adaptable to different loads (e.g., anti-slip coatings for glass).
• Multi-industry use – Ideal for retail, food/beverage, manufacturing, and export-heavy operations.

Here are the key features of paper slip sheets, which make them a popular choice in logistics and shipping:

1. Lightweight & Space-Saving

• Much lighter than wooden or plastic pallets, reducing shipping weight and costs.
• Saves storage space since they can be stacked flat when not in use.

2. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

• Made from recyclable kraft paper or corrugated fiberboard.
• Biodegradable and compliant with green packaging regulations.

3. Cost-Effective Alternative to Pallets

• Lower material and handling costs compared to traditional pallets.
• Reduces freight expenses due to lighter weight.

4. High Load-Bearing Capacity

• Reinforced designs can support heavy loads (typically 1-2 tons).
• Some models have anti-slip coatings for better stability.

5. Compatible with Forklifts & Push-Pull Systems

• Works with specialized forklift attachments (push-pull or clamp mechanisms).
• Improves loading/unloading efficiency in automated warehouses.

6. Customizable Sizes & Thicknesses

• Can be tailored to fit different cargo dimensions (standard or custom sizes).
• Available in single or multi-layer constructions for varying strength needs.

7. Water-Resistant & Tear-Resistant Options

• Some are coated or laminated for moisture protection.
• High-quality kraft paper resists tearing during handling.

8. Improves Shipping Efficiency

• Enables palletless shipping, maximizing container space.
• Reduces labor costs with faster loading/unloading compared to pallets.

9. Safe for Food & Pharmaceutical Use

• Non-toxic and meets food-grade packaging standards (FDA, EU compliance).

10. Reduces Carbon Footprint

• Lower transportation emissions due to reduced weight.
• Supports sustainable supply chain initiatives.

Common Applications:

✔ Export packaging (replacing wooden pallets in international shipments)
✔ Automated warehouses (compatible with conveyor systems)
✔ Retail & grocery distribution (food-safe, lightweight)
✔ E-commerce fulfillment (space-saving for bulk orders)
