Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 5,000 Slip Sheets
đźšš Save BIG on Truckload orders!
If you’re shipping pallets in Sandy, UT, you’re operating in a spot that looks like a logistics cheat code: access to major routes, quick reach to Salt Lake’s distribution network, and a clean path into the Mountain West.
So why do so many operations still feel like shipping is eating them alive?
Because location doesn’t fix waste.
It just helps you move waste faster.
Most companies don’t lose money from one big shipping disaster.
They lose money from a hundred small “normal” problems they stopped questioning:
-
wooden pallets that add weight you keep paying to ship
-
wasted trailer space you bought but didn’t use
-
extra warehouse touches that drain labor
-
loads that shift and arrive ugly
That’s the silent tax.
Slip sheets are how you cut that tax without rebuilding your whole warehouse.
They’re thin. Strong. Simple.
And when the spec is right, they make your freight math 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 without the bulk of a traditional wood pallet.
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 Sandy (where repeat lanes make small leaks expensive)
The Mountain West is a repeat-lane region. Once volume is steady, small inefficiencies become recurring charges.
Slip sheets matter because they reduce the four biggest hidden cost drivers in shipping:
1) Better trailer and container utilization
Pallets add height and bulk. Slip sheets keep loads lean, which can mean more units per shipment.
More units per load = lower cost per unit shipped.
2) Less dead weight
Pallets are heavy at scale. Slip sheets weigh a fraction.
That savings repeats every shipment.
3) Fewer touches in the warehouse
Every rewrap and restack is labor cost and throughput loss.
Slip sheets help standardize load builds so your team isn’t constantly “fixing” freight.
4) Cleaner deliveries and fewer claims
Loads that shift create damage. Damage creates claims and replacements.
Stable loads arrive cleaner.
Slip sheets don’t need to be complicated.
They just need to be spec’d correctly.

Who buys slip sheets in Sandy, UT?
If your facility ships palletized product at meaningful volume, slip sheets are relevant.
Common buyers include:
-
Warehouses & 3PLs improving 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 loads are 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 have to replace all pallets overnight.
Most smart operations apply slip sheets on lanes where the savings show up immediately.
Paperboard vs corrugated vs plastic slip sheets (choose right and it feels effortless)
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 with 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 a stiffer sheet.
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 a strong value choice—depending on handling and load weight. If you want maximum durability and reuse, plastic can be the move.
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 dock flow
-
load weight and friction profile
CPP helps you dial this in so 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 problems.
Pallets
Less dependency reduces pallet replacement and pallet loss.
That’s how a thin sheet becomes recurring margin.
