What is Pack Less?
PACK LESS is a new pallet design – a technological breakthrough set to transform the way you move your goods. It is probably the first plastic pallet that provides a cost-effective alternative to the wood pallet.
Pack Less weighs less than 3 kg but supports static loads up to 3-4 metric tons! Imagine a pallet that offers the advantages of plastic pallets but without the high cost!
With PACK LESS pallets, you can now PACK MORE WITH LESS!
Pack Less - Now in Asia!
PACK LESS has been commercialized successfully by large petrochemical and chemical companies in the Americas for the last two years and is now available in in Asia!
Origin of Pack Less
PACK LESS is the brainchild of José Roberto Durço, Director of Development & Innovation, Pack Less Desenvolvimento & Inovação Ltda., São Paulo, Brazil. His invention was announced in September 2008.
Pallet Dimension
Because of the versatility and uniqueness in the design of this plastic pallet, it will not take much effort for us to make a pallet customized to your product packaging.
Common Sizes
Standard sizes that we have readily available are as follows:
1100mm X 1100mm |
1100mm X 1300mm |
800mm X 1200mm (Europallet) |
1100mm X 1200mm |
1140mm X 1140mm |
|
PACK LESS offers the unique opportunity for the individual design of the pallet size. The size of a PACK LESS pallet is never standard, but always optimized and designed for meeting all of the applications requirements.
Container capacity
The following are the load capacities:
|
Safe Working Load (SWL) |
- 20 foot container - up to 680 pallets |
Static load: 4,000 kg |
- 40 foot container - up to 1,400 pallets |
Dynamic load: 1,500 kg |
PACK LESS protected by patents
To protect its Intellectual Property rights the inventors have retained one of Latin America’s best patent attorneys to ensure protection is in place wherever PACK LESS is marketed and used.
Use of PACK LESS in automatic palletizer e.g. Moller
Tests conducted by large scale petrochemical companies in South America and the Middle East have shown that auto palletizing lines can be successfully adapted to accommodate PACK LESS pallets.

Cost of pallet & Total cost
calculation |
Low – close to price of heat treated or fumigated wood pallet; as Pack Less can be foldable, frees up valuable space, results in further cost reduction |
High – based on equivalent safe working load designs; large storage space occupies valuable space which can be better used for production – high opportunity cost |
Low – but increase in fire insurance cost due to fire hazard; large storage space occupies valuable space which can be better used for production – high opportunity cost |
