Do more with every load. SSPC slip sheets are engineered from solid fiber paperboard to move product securely—while eliminating the weight, bulk, and costs of traditional pallets.
- Food-grade
- Moisture-resistant coatings
- Custom sizes & lips
- Global shipping
Why switch from pallets?
Pallets consume space, add weight, and drive up freight spend.
The SSPC solution:
Ultra-flat, high-strength slip sheets that interface with push-pull attachments to load, store, and ship efficiently—with less material and lower emissions.
Key Benefits
- Up to 80–90% space saved vs. stacked pallets in storage and backhauls
- Lower freight costs from reduced load weight and increased cube utilization
- Food-safe surfaces using 100% virgin food-grade paperboard options
- Moisture & abrasion resistance with purpose-built coatings
- Custom sizes & lip configurations tailored to your line and packaging
- Sustainable choice—recyclable fiber solution with less material than pallets

How Slip Sheets Work
- Place sheet on forklift tines or staging deck.
- Engage lip with push-pull attachment clamp.
- Push/pull the unitized load onto truck or racking.
- Release and repeat—no pallet return cycle required.
Industry Use Cases
- Food & Beverage: High-speed can/bottle lines; moisture-resistant coatings keep loads stable.
- Pharma & Healthcare: Food-grade and clean-surface handling.
- Automotive: Dense components benefit from weight reduction and footprint efficiency.
- Retail & E-commerce: Maximize trailer cube, reduce dunnage, simplify cross-dock.
- Logistics & Warehousing: Lower storage footprint; no pallet return/repair logistics.

Comparison: Slip Sheets vs. Pallets
Cost:
Slip sheets typically cost a fraction per load vs. pallets + no return cycle.
Weight:
Ounces vs. 30–50 lb wood pallets; more product per trailer.
Space:
Hundreds of sheets store in the footprint of a few pallets.
Sustainability:
Recyclable fiber, less material, lower transport emissions.
Handling:
Requires push-pull attachment (available for most forklifts).
Quality & Sustainability
- Built for durability: Engineered fiber layups for stacking strength and repeated cycles.
- Sustainability by design: Recyclable substrates, optimized material usage, less backhaul waste.
- Documentation on request: Food-grade and compliance documents available.
FAQs
- Do I need a push-pull attachment?
- Yes. Slip sheets are designed for push-pull equipped forklifts. SSPC can help spec attachments and operator best practices.
- What lip size should I choose?
- It depends on load weight, wrap type, and equipment. Common lips are 1–3 inches; our team will recommend based on your application.
- Are slip sheets strong enough for heavy loads?
- Yes—when properly specified. We adjust thickness, fiber composition, and coatings to meet your load and handling environment.
- How do slip sheets perform in damp or cold environments?
- Choose our moisture-resistant or dual-side coated options for condensation, chilled rooms, or export conditions.
- Can I export with slip sheets?
- Absolutely. Many exporters use slip sheets for containerized loads to save space and weight.
- What sizes are available?
- Any. We custom cut to your footprint, including 40×48″, 44×56″, and 48×48″ standards.
