Custom Pallet Manufacturing: Why You Should Consider It

Pasadena Skid & Pallet builds wooden pallets using hardwood, softwood, or recycled materials. They lean on PDS (Pallet Design System) software to design pallets precisely, not guess their specs. The site notes that wooden pallets remain the most cost-effective, durable, and sustainable option—renewable, reusable, repairable, and recyclable (pasadenaskidandpallet.com).

They can produce up to 8,000 pallets per day with their automated Viking assembly systems. They offer a range of designs:

• Stringer types like heavy-duty two-way, stevedore, four-way, grocery-industry, single face skids
• Block designs such as perimeter base block and reversible styles.

They also offer heat treatment, kiln-drying, and methyl bromide fumigation, plus corrugated pallet options via a partnership with CorrPallet, Inc. for UNIPAL® products. Their Quality Assurance Program ensures each pallet is correct and on time. They also keep customer pallets in inventory for just-in-time delivery needs (pasadenaskidandpallet.com).

Custom Crates & Boxes Manufacturing

Pasadena Skid & Pallet creates crates and boxes tailored to client specifications, using crate and box design software to ensure precision. They use materials like hardwood and pine, serving industries such as chemical, automotive, consumer goods, oil field, industrial, rubber, and repackaging.

Their Quality Assurance Program aims for accuracy and on-time delivery, reflecting long-term client relationships and a focus on customer satisfaction.

Custom Packaging Products

This service offers packaging built to specifications using off-the-shelf materials adapted as needed. Materials include cardboard, plastic, wood, shrink wrap, and boxes. They also supply packaging accessories:

• Air bags, plastic bags, stretch and shrink wrap

They serve the same set of industries and maintain the same Quality Assurance standards as other services: accuracy, timely delivery, and customer satisfaction.

Lumber Cut‑to‑Size Services

Though I couldn’t locate a direct page for this service, the main service list includes “Custom Lumber Cut to Size” as a featured offering. Typically, this means they cut lumber and plywood—hardwood, softwood, or recycled—to precise dimensions. Many pallet manufacturers also offer this service to support crate, pallet, or packaging production.

ISPM Heat Treating

Pasadena Skid & Pallet provides ISPM 15-compliant heat treatment services for wood packaging, which are essential for international shipping. They offer:

• Heat Treatment (HT)
• Kiln-Drying (KD)
• Methyl Bromide Fumigation (MB).

They ensure each treated piece carries an official, globally recognized stamp and maintain records that undergo inspection and audits. The industries served match those in other services, and they uphold their Quality Assurance Program for accuracy and timely delivery (pasadenaskidandpallet.com).
