FAQs
What is a corrugated plastic layer pad?
A corrugated plastic layer pad is a flat sheet made from polypropylene (PP) with a fluted core structure. It is placed between product layers on pallets to provide stability, hygiene, and protection during stacking, storage, and transportation. Unlike corrugated cardboard, PP layer pads are waterproof, washable, and can be reused 50+ times.
What is the difference between a layer pad and a divider sheet?
A layer pad is a full-size sheet placed between pallet layers for load stability and moisture protection, while a divider sheet (or divider pad) is typically die-cut to fit specific container sizes and separate individual items such as bottles or cans. Layer pads cover the entire pallet surface; dividers fit inside boxes or crates.
Can corrugated plastic layer pads replace wooden pallet tops?
Yes. PP corrugated layer pads are widely used as a hygienic, lightweight alternative to wooden pallet tops. They prevent moisture transfer from wood to products, meet food-contact safety standards, and reduce pallet weight by up to 80% compared to solid wood boards. They are FDA-compliant and EU food-contact approved.
What special treatments are available for layer pads?
PPBOXY offers four surface treatments: (1) UV treatment — extends outdoor life to 2+ years, ideal for outdoor storage; (2) Fire-retardant — achieves UL94 V-0 or HB rating for fire-sensitive environments; (3) Corona treatment — improves ink and adhesive bonding for branded printing; (4) Antistatic (ESD) — surface resistance 10⁹-10¹¹ ohms/sq, protects electronic components during transport.
How do I choose the right thickness for my layer pad?
Thickness depends on your load weight and handling method: 2-3mm for lightweight products under 10 kg per layer (beverages, canned food); 4-5mm for medium loads 10-30 kg per layer (glass bottles, jars); 6-8mm for heavy industrial loads over 30 kg per layer (automotive parts, machinery components). Contact PPBOXY with your pallet dimensions and load weight for a free recommendation.
Are corrugated plastic layer pads food-safe?
Yes. PPBOXY layer pads are manufactured from virgin polypropylene resin that meets FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 (USA) and EU Regulation EC 1935/2004 for food-contact materials. They contain no BPA, no heavy metals, and are fully recyclable (PP recycling code #5). Batch-level traceability documentation is available upon request.
How many times can PP layer pads be reused?
PP corrugated plastic layer pads typically last 50-200 cycles depending on handling conditions and load weight. With proper use — avoiding sharp impacts, extreme heat above 80°C, and prolonged UV exposure without treatment — most industrial users achieve 100+ reuse cycles. This translates to a 60-80% cost reduction compared to single-use corrugated cardboard sheets.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom layer pads?
We do not enforce a fixed MOQ. From small sample quantities to high-volume production runs, we are able to tailor our approach to suit your specific needs.
