đźšš Save BIG on Truckload orders!
If you’re shipping pallets in Orem, UT, you’re operating in a region where companies like to believe the logistics game is clean and straightforward.
And compared to the coasts… sure.
But here’s what happens when volume grows:
Your “simple” shipping system starts showing cracks.
Not because you’re doing something wrong.
Because you’re paying for things you never meant to pay for—over and over again.
You’re paying for:
-
heavy wooden pallets
-
wasted trailer space
-
extra labor touches
-
loads that shift and arrive ugly
That’s the silent tax. And it doesn’t show up as one obvious invoice you can point to.
It shows up as weekly margin bleed.
The fastest way to cut that waste without rebuilding your whole warehouse?
Slip sheets.
Thin. Strong. Simple.
And when they’re spec’d correctly, they make your shipping numbers behave.
Slip sheets are thin, high-strength sheets—paperboard, corrugated, or plastic—that sit under your unit load so it can be pulled, pushed, and stabilized with less bulk than traditional wood pallets.
In plain English:
Instead of paying freight to move wood and wasted cube…
You ship more product per load.
And you keep more margin.
Why slip sheets matter in Orem (where the shipping lanes reward efficiency)
Orem operations often feed lanes north, south, and across the West. When loads travel real distances, small inefficiencies become expensive.
Slip sheets help because they reduce the four biggest hidden costs in shipping:
1) Trailer and container utilization
Pallets add height and bulk. Slip sheets keep loads lean, which can increase units per shipment.
More units per load = lower cost per unit shipped.
2) Dead weight
Wood pallets weigh a lot at scale. Slip sheets weigh a fraction.
That’s recurring savings. Not a one-time win.
3) Fewer touches in the warehouse
Every re-wrap and re-stack is labor cost and throughput loss.
Slip sheets help standardize load builds so your team isn’t “fixing” freight all day.
4) Cleaner deliveries
Loads that shift create damage. Damage creates claims and replacements.
Stable loads arrive cleaner.
Slip sheets are one of those upgrades that feel small… until you see what they do to total cost per unit shipped.

Who buys slip sheets in Orem, UT?
If your facility ships palletized product in meaningful volume, slip sheets are relevant.
Common buyers include:
-
Warehouses & 3PLs increasing throughput
-
Manufacturers shipping cartons and packaged goods
-
Regional distributors feeding lanes across the Mountain West
-
Retail distribution where cost per unit shipped matters
-
Industrial suppliers moving consistent unit loads
Slip sheets shine when:
-
your product ships in uniform cartons/cases
-
you want more units per trailer/container
-
pallet costs and pallet loss are recurring problems
-
you want stable, repeatable load builds
-
you want fewer touches and less rework
And no—you don’t need to convert everything overnight.
Most smart operations use slip sheets on lanes where the savings are undeniable.
Paperboard vs corrugated vs plastic slip sheets (choose right and it’s smooth)
Slip sheets aren’t one product.
They’re a category.
Material selection determines durability and performance.
Paperboard / Solid Fiber Slip Sheets
Strong, economical, and ideal for dry environments and standard carton shipments. Great when you want performance without overpaying.
Corrugated Slip Sheets
More rigid with a bit of cushioning. Useful for lighter loads, layer separation, or when you want extra stiffness.
Plastic Slip Sheets
Durable, moisture-resistant, and great for reuse. Ideal for repeat handling, tougher workflows, or environments where consistent performance matters.
Utah tends to be dry, which can make paperboard options an excellent value—depending on load weight and handling method. If you want reuse and durability, plastic can be a smart step up.
The lip: the small detail that decides whether slip sheets “work”
If you’re using push/pull attachments—or considering them—lip configuration is everything.
The lip is what the equipment grabs to pull the load.
Wrong lip?
-
slipping
-
tearing
-
slow handling
-
frustrated operators
-
downtime
And then someone says, “Slip sheets don’t work.”
No. The spec didn’t work.
Common configurations:
-
Single lip (one-direction handling)
-
Two lips (adjacent or opposite for flexibility)
-
Opposite lips (clean lane workflows)
-
Four-way lips (maximum handling options)
Key details that matter:
-
lip length
-
lip reinforcement
-
lip direction relative to your dock flow
-
load weight and friction profile
CPP helps you dial this in so your slip sheets perform in real warehouse handling.
How slip sheets reduce total cost (freight + labor + damage)
Most companies focus on packaging price.
Smart companies focus on total cost per unit shipped.
Slip sheets reduce total cost across:
Freight
More product per load lowers cost per unit shipped.
Labor
Fewer touches and less rework increases throughput.
Damage
Stable loads reduce claims, replacements, and customer drama.
Pallets
Less dependency reduces pallet replacement and pallet loss.
That’s how a thin sheet becomes recurring margin.
