If you’re in New Rochelle, New York and you’re searching for slip sheets… you’re not doing it because you love packaging.
You’re doing it because pallets are costing you money in places you don’t even see until it’s too late.
That’s how the pallet tax works.
It hides.
It hides inside freight bills.
It hides inside wasted warehouse space.
It hides inside dock congestion.
It hides inside claims and product damage.
It hides inside the time your team spends moving wood around like wood is your product.
And in New Rochelle—where you’re plugged into the entire Northeast supply chain and everything is expensive—those hidden costs don’t stay hidden for long.
They show up as “Why are we still spending this much on shipping?”
Slip sheets are one of the few packaging moves that can cut cost without cutting output.
But only if they’re specced correctly.
Because if you buy the wrong slip sheets, you’ll get ripped tabs, shifting loads, angry forklift operators, and a “we tried that already” story that never should’ve existed.
Slip sheets aren’t the problem.
Bad specs are the problem.
Let’s talk straight.
Most companies around New Rochelle aren’t switching to slip sheets because it’s “cool.”
They do it because they want one of these results:
-
Reduce pallet spend and pallet waste
-
Reduce outbound shipment weight
-
Improve trailer/container cube utilization
-
Free up warehouse space (pallet stacks are a disease)
-
Meet customer receiving requirements (slip sheets preferred)
-
Improve export/container workflows
-
Lower cost per unit shipped over time
Slip sheets can deliver those wins—when the workflow fits.
What Slip Sheets Actually Are (Plain English)
A slip sheet is a thin, flat sheet—made from kraft paper, corrugated fiberboard, laminated board, or plastic—that goes underneath a unitized load.
Instead of building your load on a wooden pallet…
You build it on the slip sheet.
Then a forklift—typically with a push/pull attachment—grabs the slip sheet by its tab (the “lip”) and pulls the load onto the forks. It can also push the load off at destination.
That’s the whole concept.
No pallet.
Less bulk.
Less weight.
Less wasted space.
And if you ship volume, that adds up fast.

Why Slip Sheets Make Sense in New Rochelle
Slip sheets are popular in high-cost shipping regions because they hit the biggest waste points.
1) You stop paying to ship wood
Wood pallets add weight that doesn’t increase revenue.
Slip sheets are dramatically lighter.
If you ship frequently, that weight reduction compounds.
2) You reclaim warehouse space
Pallet stacks take floor space, create clutter, and become a management problem.
Slip sheets stack flat and stay out of the way.
3) You can load tighter
Pallets add bulk and can waste space inside trailers and containers.
Slip sheets reduce bulk and can help you load tighter in the right applications.
4) You reduce receiving friction
Damaged pallets, dirty pallets, non-compliant pallets—this causes receiving issues.
Slip sheets can help you ship cleaner and meet certain customer standards.
5) Container/export workflows
If you’re loading containers, pallets can destroy capacity.
Slip sheets can be a big win when every inch matters.
Who Slip Sheets Are Perfect For (And Who Should Skip Them)
Slip sheets are a strong fit when:
-
Loads are uniform and repeatable
-
Loads are stable and properly wrapped
-
You ship consistent volume
-
You export or container-load
-
Customers prefer or require slip sheets
-
You have push/pull capability (or a plan to support the workflow)
Slip sheets are usually not ideal when:
-
Loads are irregular, unstable, or constantly changing
-
Your product needs pallet rigidity for protection
-
You have no realistic handling method and don’t want one
-
Volume is too low and switching creates more friction than savings
A supplier who tells you “slip sheets work for everyone” is selling you a fairy tale.
Slip sheets work when the operation fits.
Slip Sheet Materials (Pick Wrong and You’ll Hate Slip Sheets)
Most slip sheet programs fail because the wrong material was chosen.
Here are the main options:
Kraft Paper Slip Sheets
Cost-effective and widely used.
Best for dry environments and moderate loads. Great for one-way shipments.
Corrugated Slip Sheets
More rigid than kraft.
Best when you need stiffness under the load due to footprint or stacking demands.
Laminated Slip Sheets
Paper-based with moisture resistance.
If humidity, condensation, or environmental exposure is a factor, laminated prevents sagging and reduces tearing.
Plastic Slip Sheets
Durable, reusable, and strong.
Ideal for heavier loads, wet environments, or closed-loop systems where slip sheets return and get reused.
Plastic costs more upfront, but it can dominate long-term economics when reuse is real.
Material choice depends on load weight, environment, and handling.
We’ll help you choose the right one.
The Lip (Tab) Is Everything
Here’s what most buyers ignore until it fails:
The lip.
The lip is the tab your push/pull grabs.
If it’s too short, too weak, or oriented wrong, you’ll see:
-
Lips ripping mid-pull
-
Loads sliding and shifting
-
Operators slowing down and fighting the process
-
Dock congestion and wasted time
-
Damage claims
Common lip setups:
-
1 lip (pull from one direction)
-
2 lips (two-direction access)
-
3–4 lips (multi-direction handling)
We spec lips based on workflow:
Where do you stage loads?
What direction do you pull?
How do you load trailers/containers?
How does the customer receive it?
That’s how you prevent ripping and keep throughput high.
Push/Pull Attachments: The Real Question
Can slip sheets be used without push/pull attachments?
Sometimes—especially in certain container workflows.
But if you want slip sheets to run consistently at scale in a warehouse, push/pull attachments are usually the difference between success and chaos.
If you already have them, perfect.
If you don’t, we help you evaluate:
-
Will the savings justify the attachment?
-
Are your loads consistent enough to benefit?
-
Are customer requirements driving the change?
-
Is your volume high enough that savings compounds?
Then we spec the slip sheet accordingly.
