Why the Half Pallet Is Our Bestseller
Over 60% of all pallet shipments through our network travel on half pallets. Here's why this size hits the mark for so many customers.
Best Value Per Cubic Metre
The half pallet offers the best balance of space, weight capacity and price. You get a generous 1200×800mm base at a price point that works for regular shippers and one-offs alike.
Fits Almost Everything
From engine blocks to cases of wine, furniture flat-packs to industrial components — the 1200×800mm footprint accommodates the vast majority of palletised goods.
Network Optimised
Euro pallets are the standard across UK and European pallet networks. This means the most competitive rates, the widest carrier choice and the fastest transit times.
What Fits on a Half Pallet?
With 1200×800mm of base area and up to 900mm of stacking height, here's what our customers regularly ship on half pallets.
Boxed Products & Stock
Approximately 12–16 standard cartons stacked neatly. Perfect for wholesale orders, shop restocks and warehouse transfers between sites.
Engines & Heavy Machinery
Car engines, industrial pumps, compressors and similar heavy items that sit within the footprint. Up to 500 kg gives ample capacity for substantial components.
Building Materials
Bags of adhesive, tiling grout, boxes of fixings, plasterboard accessories. Builders merchants and trade suppliers use half pallets daily for site deliveries.
Food & Beverage
Cases of beer, wine, spirits, tinned goods and dry ingredients. A half pallet of wine holds approximately 60 bottles — ideal for independent retailers and restaurants.
Flat-Pack Furniture
Desks, shelving units, cabinet carcasses and worktops. The 1200mm length accommodates most flat-pack boxes that won't fit through a parcel network.
Electronics & IT Equipment
Servers, monitors, printers, networking equipment. Half pallets are the go-to for IT departments and resellers moving equipment between offices or to clients.

Breweries, distilleries, food manufacturers and specialist importers ship on half pallets as standard. Perfect for restaurant supply, shop deliveries and farmer-to-retailer distribution of ambient goods.
Packaging Your Half Pallet
A well-packaged pallet travels safely and avoids delays. Here's our expert guidance for getting it right first time.
Stacking & Loading
- Stack boxes in a brick pattern for stability — stagger each layer
- Heaviest items at the bottom, lightest on top
- Keep the load flush with the pallet edges — no overhanging
- Maximum height of 900mm for goods (approx 1,050mm total with pallet)
Wrapping & Labelling
- Apply at least 4 layers of stretch wrap, including under the base
- Use corner boards on tall or heavy loads for extra rigidity
- Attach your booking label clearly on two sides of the pallet
- Add "FRAGILE" labels where appropriate — visible on the outside
