Pallets / Skids
KD/HT materials are coupled with sensor-controlled nail location, accurate and dependable nail countersink depth and uniform deck board placement for exceptional new-construction pallets and skids.
Crates
Cleated plywood crates and custom containers are core product lines at GPC dedicated wood plants. All orders are tailored to customer specifications. High or medium volume, large or small construction.
Export Packaging
Much of the product leaving the port of Houston and shipping internationally via Mexico does so on GPC export-rated pallets and custom wood products. We certify the packaging is export-approved and strictly adhere to all IPPC standards administered by the US Department of Agriculture.
