What is a slip sheet?

A slip sheet is a flat and thin sheet made from either plastic or corrugated fiberboard that is used for unit load distribution. It is placed beneath a load and allows for easy sliding or movement of the load onto the next stage of the supply chain. Slip sheets are preferred over traditional pallets as they save space, reduce transport costs, and can be used in automated handling systems. Slip sheets also provide protection of goods as they reduce the possibility of damage caused by improper handling or fork truck operation. They can be customized to fit specific load requirements and can be recycled after use, making them environmentally-friendly.
