Express Pallet is a unique, weather-resistant, safe, secure and affordable door-to-door packaging solution for heavier shipments, worldwide through a single partner, DHL, with proven customs expertise.

Express Pallet can be 'built' to accommodate shipments ranging from 50kgs to 100kgs. The design and structure allows the same box to be adjusted into three different sizes with capacities of 50 kgs, 75 kgs and 100 kgs. It is fitted with specially designed in-built wood-free pallet base for smooth and safe transportation via a forklift. The sturdy packaging ensures additional safety of the shipment. The heavy-duty corrugated weather-proof cardboard box is further shrink wrapped to provide additional protection against water. Express Pallet does not require Fumigation Certificate for custom clearance.

The Express Pallet is also very economical. A 50 kg shipment to USA, for example, would cost Rs 15,250, a 75 kg shipment would cost Rs 21,000 while a 100 kg would cost shipment Rs 28,000 (all exclusive of applicable fuel surcharge and service tax), with savings of 38%, 39% and 37% respectively on normal Express rates.
