A corner store doesn't need a truckload. It needs the right dozen cases, packed to arrive ready to shelve, and an easy way to order them again. That is the order we are set up for.

02Mixed pallets48 × 40 in

Six categories. One pallet.

A mixed pallet puts several product lines on one 48 by 40 inch pallet, so a store can order a little of many things at once. Heavy cases go on the bottom, light and crushable cases ride on top, and the load is stretch-wrapped for the trip. Scroll to build one.

Parcel and LTL freight

How the boxes travel.

Distributors ship two ways. An order of a few cartons usually goes by parcel carrier, one box at a time, each with its own tracking number. An order big enough for a pallet usually goes as LTL, short for less-than-truckload: your pallet shares a trailer with other shippers' freight.

We choose the method that fits each order and confirm it with you before it ships.
