About This Blog

Admittedly, the materials handling industry isn't very glamorous. Some may even say that it's boring. We get that.

But... believe it or not, we've actually had some of our best laughs just doing our job.

Don't roll your eyes just yet. We know that transport packaging management doesn't exactly make for stimulating party conversation. Although, you have to admit that plastic pallets is an exciting new innovation. You know, the whole made from 100% recycled materials and sustainability thing. That has you on the edge of your seat, right? OK... maybe not, but that's why we started this blog - to show you the fun side of plastic pallets.

"You want to use our plastic pallets for what?"

At Nelson Company, we're more than just an industry leader in unit load design, reverse distribution and waste management for the big guys. In addition to being a palletizing solutions partner for big companies with complex packaging requirements, we also talk to real people (individuals and small businesses) who come up with some really unique and unusual uses for our plastic pallets. In most cases, we're very happy to help these folks out. That's just our nature. Plus, they give us some good stories to tell.

We invite you to follow our blog to hear some of our favorite unique uses for plastic pallets, and hope you enjoy these stories as much as we like sharing them. And, if you learn something new - even better (we may throw in a few industry news items or educational posts here and there too). 

Actually, you'll now find our newest transport packaging news and updates at our more current Nelson Company Blog.
