Custom pallet manufacturing in Florida - drawing to delivery
Florida Pallet Supply builds custom pallets to any specification for Florida and Southeast businesses. Our Central Florida mill accepts spec drawings in any format (PDF, DWG, DXF, hand-sketch, photo of a sample pallet) and returns a quote with lead time within one business day. Standard custom build lead time is 5 to 10 business days from drawing approval; emergency expedite runs 2 to 3 days at a premium.
What custom pallet work we do
Custom pallet work falls into five common categories at our Florida mill:
- Non-standard dimensions - machinery footprints, aerospace component tooling, retail display sizes outside the 48x40 norm. Common: 36x36, 42x42, 48x48, 48x60, 60x72, half-pallet 24x40.
- Reinforced construction - heavy-equipment pallets rated for 5,000 to 20,000 lb static load. Thicker deck boards, additional stringers, cross-banding, metal reinforcement.
- Export-grade (ISPM-15) - heat-treated and IPPC-stamped builds for Jaxport, Port Miami, Port Everglades, Port Tampa export freight. Stamp lead 1-2 business days added to build time.
- Food-grade and pharma-compliant - kiln-dried, debarked, FDA-food-contact-safe construction. Specialty for citrus packhouses (Lake Wales, Winter Haven), produce distribution, Florida pharma (Pfizer, J&J, specialty Florida pharma).
- Specialty engineered - cross-banded ply decks, laminated construction for high-value aerospace at Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center, impact-resistant construction for appliance and consumer electronics.
Custom pallet pricing - what to expect
Custom pallet pricing depends on size, grade, treatment, and quantity. For low-volume custom (50-250 pieces one-time), expect $18 to $55 per pallet depending on construction complexity. For standing weekly programs (250+ pieces per week), we quote per-pallet rates at $12 to $32 per pallet including scheduled Florida replenishment freight. For high-volume runs (1,000+ pieces per month), bulk pricing is quoted individually.
