About us: a supplier that sources, not a moulder

We take a ship-to ZIP, a footprint and a use, and we size a load. The load is written the way a receiving clerk reads it: footprint, static load, dynamic load and racking load, resin, entry type, and how many go on a 53 ft trailer. Where a maker has published a trailer count we quote it as that maker's example for that model. We never turn one maker's figure into a promise for your order.

We do not mould, extrude or thermoform anything. The manufacturers page explains the six moulding processes and which makers we source across. If you want to deal with the factory directly, that page tells you what to ask it.

A trailer is the unit a dock thinks in. A 48 x 40 GMA pallet fits in a stack pattern on a 53 ft dry van; one dealer gives 30 stacks in a turned pattern. How many pallets that is depends on the nest increment of the model, so the pallet count per trailer moves a lot between a standard-duty nestable and a rackable design.

Buying by the piece hides that. Buying by the trailer puts the freight cost and the dock time in front of you before you pick the model, which is the order a logistics buyer works in anyway. The truckload planner shows the published examples side by side.

Some docks buy once. Many run on the same pallet for years: a bottler on a 56 x 44, a car plant on a 48 x 45, a food plant on a clean 48 x 40. We treat that as a standing account, not a string of one-off buys. The model, the ratings and the resin are written down once and repeat order after order, which is how a closed loop stays closed.

• One footprint, one rating set and one resin per account line.
• Resin and colourant documents asked for before the first truck, not after.
• A written model name on every order, so the next load matches the last.

You will not find a street address, a phone line, reviews, a years-in-business claim, prices or stock counts. We do not have an offer sheet to publish, so we state no minimum quantity, no freight terms and no turnaround. Ask for a load quote and we answer with what applies to your load.

Everything factual on the site carries a source and a review date. If a figure is one maker's example, it says so beside the number.

• A number is used only when a maker, a dealer or a public source published it, and the page names the source.
• Arithmetic is shown with its method: inches times 25.4 for millimetres, length times width for area, jobs divided by establishments for site size.
• Where no source exists, the page says that, and the request form asks you for what we need to find out.
• Every page shows when it was last reviewed.

That is slower than inventing a price list, and it is the reason the numbers here can be checked.
