It's October and soon it will be Halloween. If you thought plastic pallets and Halloween couldn't possibly go together, we're about to change your mind.
Our first spooky story started one early October with an order for several hundred lightweight, nestable plastic pallets. The pallets had to hold a few hundred pounds - but most importantly - they had to be black. Come to find out, the customer set up an annual pumpkin stand every Halloween. He used the black plastic pallets to keep pumpkins off the ground (similar to how some farmers use plastic pallets to control mold and moisture in hay bales). Why black? The orange pumpkins and black pallets created the perfect Halloween color scheme, of course.
Next, a popular amusement park located in Central Florida purchased several hundred, black plastic pallets for use in their annual Halloween haunted houses. Wait... what? Unlike more practical uses for plastic pallets, these pallets were to be hung in various locations throughout multiple creepy haunted houses. Intrigued? We were too. Turns out, the theme park planned to create bizarre shadows on the ceiling, walls and floors by casting light beams through several different plastic pallet designs. Next time you're in a haunted house, better tread carefully. You never know what types of plastic pallets could be lurking around the next corner - BOO!
Perhaps we should add "makes for great Halloween decorations" to our list of plastic pallet benefits!
