Immediate savings for freight cost

The Mecobee pallet’s dramatically lower weight results in substantial savings for freight cost. The per pallet savings due to weight reduction greatly exceed the net cost of the pallet for nearly every shipping class. The Mecobee pallet generates immediate and extraordinary savings via lower freight fees and fuel surcharges from the first use.

 

Load more air freight onto each plane

While trucks can usually be loaded full, this is not always the case with planes. Airlines and freight haulers often limit the freight on a flight based on conditions to preserve a margin of safety. By replacing heavy wood pallets, the lighter Mecobee pallet frees up more weight for cargo on each flight. Whether carriers ultimately save on fuel or reach weight capacities with more cargo (and less pallet weight), the savings goes straight to their bottom line.

 

Sturdy for all your loads

The Mecobee honeycomb packaging materials’ advanced engineering makes it as sturdy as wood / plastic cartons in spite of its greatly reduced weight. The Mecobee honeycomb pallet functions as a single unit, enhancing its durability and allowing it to absorb more shocks than a wood pallet.

 

It will make your business “green”

The Mecobee honeycomb product’s environmental credentials are compelling: Its lighter weight will result in less use of fossil fuels. It is reusable and recyclable, so Mecobee honeycomb packaging solutions and pallet in commercial scale will eliminate most of the approximately one billion pallets added to landfills each year. Companies nowadays are rated based on their environmental performance. If the government doesn’t force you to consider environmental issues, your customers will. It’s wise to be proactive and tout your company’s conservation efforts publicly. Given how many users view wood pallets as throwaway items, in practice the Mecobee pallet should have a much longer life cycle than wood.

 

Safety handling

Wood pallets and packaging materials are a workplace hazard. Any warehouse employee can carry the lightweight Mecobee pallet and packaging materials without risk of injury. And since the Mecobee pallets and packaging materials have no exposed wood surface, staples, or nails, the risk of splinters or other handling injuries is minimal.

 

Designed for you

The company can customize its packaging materials and pallets with printing (bar codes, logos, names, etc.), laminating, assembly instructions, advertisements, etc. This makes the Mecobee packaging materials and pallets aesthetically pleasing for use outside of warehouses. Its modularity enables many shapes and sizes for product integration. The Mecobee honeycomb cartons and pallet’s construction allows for simultaneous die cutting and printing.
