ISPM 15 stands for "International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures for Wood Packaging Material in International Trade".

ISPM, i.e. the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures, is part of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). The purpose of these measures is to avoid introducing wood pests into foreign ecosystems. Various treatment methods can be used to eliminate possible pests from wood in accordance with ISPM 15.

The IPPC standard guarantees that no fungi, microorganisms or insects are exported to foreign countries. PALCO pallets can be treated in accordance with IPPC standard ISPM No. 15 on request. The treatment is entirely thermal, avoiding the use of chemicals.

We only use the heat drying process.

This means that the pallet is loaded into the drying chamber with its natural wood moisture content. Water is heated by burning our own fuel chips. This is used to heat the air in the drying chambers. An exchange of saturated hot air from the chamber with fresh outside air takes place based on the principle of fresh intake air/exhaust air. This process is repeated to gradually remove the water from the wood cells. This is how the pallet is dried.

The use of planed boards in production means we can manufacture pallets meeting high demands regarding surface quality.

It is also possible to cover the surface of the pallet with a film or a sheet (polystyrene, plywood etc.) to prevent damage to goods.

Pallets can be colour-marked during manufacture in accordance with customer requirements.

During this process, the pallets are coloured on various sides. The advantage of this colour marking is of course the high recognition factor that your pallets then have. In addition, pallets can be customised with individual branding.
