Slipsheets as alternative for pallets
Increased loading and storage capacity, CO₂ savings, and cost reduction—ideal for maritime transport and international flows. A transport plateau designed for efficient stacking, storage, and movement of goods.
CO2 savings
Reduces transport weight thanks to its compact design, allowing more products to take up less space. Made from recycled material, fully recyclable, and reusable.
Cost reduction
Reusable, with reduced transport space and weight. Its compact design allows more products to occupy less space.
Increased loading and storage capacity
Increased loading and storage capacity: No need to store pallets – 1 pallet of slipsheets replaces 1000 wooden pallets
Slipsheet as alternative for wooden pallet
Nefab’s slipsheets
Slipsheets are an alternative for the use of pallets. The forklift truck needs to be equipped with a push/pull system. Switching from wooden or plastic pallets to slipsheets can result in significant savings (material, space, repair and storage).
Slipsheets are 1 mm-thick cardboard sheets designed to replace traditional wooden pallets.
Their compact design allows seamless integration into modern supply chains while supporting sustainability goals.
This solution allows companies to rethink their modes of transport, with immediate gains in operational efficiency and a strong commitment to sustainable development
Furthermore, we offer a range of re-usable slipsheets : recycled plastics or HDPE plastic
Applications of slipsheets
Slipsheets
For companies exporting and handling loads with forklifts, pallet jacks or other material equipment such as bagged goods and boxes. When long-distance exports need to be managed efficiently without additional regulatory barriers (ISPM 15), Nefab offers slipsheets.

particularly effective in maritime transport and international flows where optimisation is key.
Variations of Nefab's slipsheets
Injection molded containers, totes, and bins
Injection molded containers, totes, and bins are a durable, reusable, and precise packaging solution. The injection molding process is well-suited for high-volume production, offering a cost-effective option at high quality. Ideal for automation-heavy industries, injection molded containers ensure precise dimensions for easy integration with lasers, sensors, and grippers. Injection molded packaging can be reused multiple times, fitting well into a controlled logistics flow.
Custom and standard plastic containers, totes and bins
Many different sizes are available to fit the needs of most market segments. They can be standard solutions or custom designed to specific needs. One of Nefab’s specialties is combining standard containers, totes, and bins with custom thermoformed or injection molded inserts. This is a cost-efficient way to optimize packaging for ideal product protection. In addition, it allows for long-term reuse of the outer packaging across different applications and programs.
