Compliance and markings to secure your current shipments
Authentication as a logistics shield
Authentication is the only effective shield against counterfeiting, particularly in the used market. For your international current shipments, your load support must imperatively bear the EUR marking in an oval and the EPAL acronym. In 2026, the presence of the IPPC (ISPM 15) marking certifying heat treatment is mandatory to cross borders outside the European Union, thereby guaranteeing current logistics without unexpected customs hold-ups. To check your inventory, access our export compliance guide.
Determining price factors and Flat Cargo purchasing strategies
- Strategic order volume In 2026, Flat Cargo offers volume discounts starting from a full truckload purchase (33 pallets on the floor). By consolidating your orders, you mechanically reduce the unit cost of each load support.
- Certified reconditioning quality A "first-choice" pallet, visually close to new, will have a higher acquisition cost than a "second-choice" pallet with marked wood. However, it will offer better operational longevity for your demanding current flows.
- Location and local sourcing In current logistics, transport costs can represent up to 20% of the final invoiced price. Prioritizing local sourcing through our regional network drastically reduces your delivery fees and carbon footprint.
Securing the value of your return logistics
Mastering the technical specifications of the Euro pallet and the inner workings of its pricing is a key step for any company aiming for operational excellence in 2026. By combining sharp technical knowledge with shared purchasing strategies, you protect your margins while guaranteeing the fluidity of your current shipments.

Frequently asked questions on the acquisition and profitability of Euro pallets
Why is the price of wooden pallets so volatile?
Wood is a raw material subject to strong global geopolitical and energy pressures. In 2026, Flat Cargo recommends anticipating your needs through framework agreements to smooth out the prices of your current shipments and thereby avoid costly seasonal shortages.
How to resell used pallets at the best price?
The buyback value depends directly on the integrity of the boards and blocks. For your current flows, it is imperative to keep your storage yards dry. Sound, mold-free wood retains a high resale value on our buyback platform, transforming your waste into a financial resource for your current logistics.
Conclusion on the profitable acquisition of your pallet fleets
Investing in Euro pallets in 2026 is first and foremost a decision made by a wise manager. Whether you choose new or used, the absolute priority must remain compliance with EPAL standards to guarantee the total safety of your current flows.
