6 Reasons to Switch to SuperSheets
Companies that transition from wooden pallets to recycled slip sheets don’t go back. Detailed analysis shows, in nearly 100% of cases, that slip sheets outperform wooden pallets in every single category: performance, safety, cost and environmental.
Recycled Slip Sheets are More Reliable
Slip sheets last as long or longer than wooden pallets. All while costing 80% less, on average.
Slip sheets help prevent damage to products and materials. No splinters, broken wood or nails.
As slip sheets wear, the signs are clear and visible, so no more sudden, costly and painful incidents. Make those pallet failures a thing of the past.
Our Sheets are Easier to Move and Store
Wooden pallets have more than performance and durability problems, they also have space and agility issues. They consume massive amounts of space and are heavy, so movement and storage are very real challenges.
As a result, they block aisles, consume valuable rack space, pile up in warehouses and become contaminated… let’s stop that.
Repsco Slip Sheets Help Improve Safety
Shoulder, back, wrist and abrasion issues are common with wooden pallets. The weight, size, splintering and nails being a common cause.
Always follow safety protocol. Our light, flexible slip sheets without nails or splintering can help.
Minimize and mitigate injuries. But also lower your worker’s comp and other insurance costs while making employees happier and safer.
Our Slip Sheets Cost Less. Much Less.
Slip sheets range in price based on gauge, cut, customizations and other factors. However, they average 80% less in cost (often more) than environmentally unsound wooden pallets.
Even greater are the savings you achieve in having a more reliable, more efficient, safer and space-saving material.
Transportation and Logistics are Improved
A major reason for high freight costs are the added weight and space caused by large, heavy wooden pallets. Space, weight and cost can be reduced using slip sheets.
Yet there’s even more: the reliability of the shipment itself is improved.
Less shifting, less accidents, less movement and more reliablity, all enabled with Repsco’s recycled plastic slip sheets.
Slip Sheets Help Save the World
Recycled, plastic slip sheets are made primarily from post-industrial material. That means we are giving new life to old, disposable materials. And not only that, when our slip sheets ultimately wear down (which takes a while!), they are recycled into new product.
We not only believe in “reuse, reduce and recycle” – for us it’s our mission and a way of life.
Replacement/Alternate Material (Cost Basis Comparison)
- REPSCO SuperSheets (recycled plastic slip sheets) cost 80 – 97% less than wooden pallets.
- The cost of wooden pallets rises at 7x the pace of SuperSheets.
- SuperSheets now cost less than fiber sheets (essentially ‘cardboard’), and the disparity is growing due to rising costs of wood-based (paper) products and tariffs.
Better Than Wooden Pallets
- 99% less space required;
- 97% less weight
- 85 – 97% less cost.
Our product is 100% made of post-consumer, post-industrial waste. We recycle all of that material (perpetually, in fact) while saving millions of trees.
Eliminate pallet failure, save thousands of cubic yards of storage, ‘store-n-grab’ right at the point of use (no more running around with heavy pallets).
Avoid splinters and nails, reduce injuries and reduce insurance and worker’s comp premiums.
Fiber (Paper) Sheets vs SuperSheets
No comparison between the fiber (paper) sheets and recycled plastic slip sheets. Durability, edge integrity, and no degradation due to moisture. Fiber (paper) sheets and wooden pallets suffer from rot, mold, and pest issues. Plastic remains superior.

Reduced injuries, absences and worker's comp costs
Benefits Extend Well Beyond Your Operations & Logistics
5.5 out of 100 workers are injured each year from warehouse environments (distribution, manufacturing, storage industries). The single largest contributor: wooden pallet-based accidents. Pallet failures, breakage and falling loads are a cause of severe injuries.
The handling of unloaded pallets and falling/slipping/tripping, as well as nails, splinters and even fires and pest contamination also contribute to the 5.5% accident rate (US Dept of Labor – 2023 Annual Submission to OIG Report).
The cost is high: in addition to high levels of stress on behalf of injured worker’s and those around them (co-workers, supervisors, executives), there are missed days, lawsuits, bumped orders and overtime costs.
But there’s more to it. Worker’s compensation ratings can well exceed 100 (sometimes 125 or higher) with premium increases in the $100,000s. Annually. Yes, your pallets can do that to you.
