Put Your Knowledge on Display this Fourth of July

If you’ve been following our blog, you know we like to quiz our readers periodically. And, since Fourth of July is right around the corner, we thought it the perfect time to ‘declare’ what you know about pallets.

Wooden pallets are used to securely transport goods around the world.  But, other facts and statistics concerning the wood packaging industry may surprise you.  With the help of several industry resources including Nature’s Packaging, AF&PA, and the Center for Packaging and Unit Load Design, we’ve compiled a short industry quiz that may leave you stumped (pardon the pun)!
