If you’re in Bend, Oregon and you’re searching for slip sheets… here’s what that means in plain English:

You’re moving product… and you’re sick of paying for wood.

Because nobody goes hunting for slip sheets unless pallets are creating pain.

Pain in your freight bill.
Pain in your warehouse space.
Pain in your dock flow.
Pain in receiving.
Pain in the budget meeting where someone points at “pallets” and asks why you’re still spending so much money on something you literally throw away.

And if you’re shipping out of Bend—whether you’re distributing across Oregon, down into California, or out to the broader West—those costs add up fast.

Slip sheets can be one of the cleanest ways to reduce shipping costs without reducing output.

But only if they’re specced correctly.

Because when slip sheets are wrong, they become a headache: tabs tear, loads slide, operators hate it, and everyone decides “we tried that already.”

Slip sheets aren’t the problem.

Bad specs are the problem.

Let’s talk straight.

Most companies don’t switch to slip sheets because they want a new packaging project.

They switch because they want leverage.

They want one (or more) of these outcomes:

If you’re searching slip sheets in Bend, odds are you want one of those wins.

What Are Slip Sheets? (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 placing your product on a wooden pallet…

You place it on a slip sheet.

Then a forklift with a push/pull attachment grabs the slip sheet by its tab (the “lip”) and pulls the load onto the forks.

That’s the whole concept.

Less wood.
Less bulk.
Less weight.
Less wasted space.

And when the workflow fits, it’s a quiet profit machine.

Why Bend Operations Use Slip Sheets

Bend is known for growth—business growth, development, and a steady stream of companies moving goods out to the rest of the region.

When shipping grows, costs get exposed.

Slip sheets are commonly used to solve problems like:

1) Freight cost creep

Pallets add weight and bulk. Slip sheets reduce both.

Depending on your shipping profile, that can help reduce freight costs and improve shipment efficiency.

2) Trailer space waste

If you’re paying for a trailer and not using the trailer fully, you’re burning money.

Slip sheets can reduce the bulk of pallets, letting you load more efficiently in the right applications.

3) Pallet storage clutter

Pallets take up space in storage and staging.

Slip sheets stack flat and free up floor space.

4) Customer receiving requirements

Some customers do not want pallets, or they want standardized handling and clean loads.

Slip sheets can reduce receiving headaches and rejections.

5) Reducing pallet spend

Even cheap pallets add up quickly when you ship volume.

Slip sheets reduce how often you buy and throw away wood.

Who Slip Sheets Are Perfect For (And Who Should Skip Them)

Slip sheets are a strong fit when:

Slip sheets can be the wrong move when:

A supplier who tells you “slip sheets are for everyone” is selling you a fairy tale.

We don’t do fairy tales.

We do operational reality.

Slip Sheet Material Types (Choose Wrong and You’ll Hate Them)

Most slip sheet programs fail because someone picked the wrong material.

Here are the main types:

Kraft Paper Slip Sheets

Cost-effective and common.

Best for dry environments and moderate loads. Great for one-way shipments.

Corrugated Slip Sheets

More rigid and supportive than kraft.

Best when you need extra stiffness under the load due to product footprint or stacking demands.

Laminated Slip Sheets

Paper-based sheets with moisture resistance.

If humidity, condensation, or environmental exposure is a factor, laminated helps prevent sagging and 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 if reuse is real.

The Lip (Tab) Is Everything

Here’s the part most buyers ignore until the first pull fails:

The lip.

The lip is the tab your push/pull grabs.

If the lip is too short, too weak, or oriented wrong, you’ll see:

Common lip configurations:

We spec lips based on workflow, not guesswork:

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 tearing and keep throughput high.

Do You Need a Push/Pull Attachment?

Most of the time, yes—if you want slip sheets to run smoothly at scale.

Push/pull attachments make slip sheets fast, repeatable, and predictable.

If you already have one, perfect.

If you don’t, slip sheets can still work for certain workflows (like export/container loading), but you need a plan.

What We Need to Quote Slip Sheets Correctly

To quote the right slip sheets (so you don’t waste money), it helps to know:

  1. Load dimensions (L Ă— W)

  2. Load weight (average and max)

  3. Product type (bags, boxes, cases, pails, etc.)

  4. Environment (dry, cold storage, humidity, export)

  5. Handling method (push/pull, manual, container loading)

  6. Monthly usage (or shipment frequency)

  7. Customer requirements (receiving specs, restrictions)

Don’t worry if you don’t have all of that.

Most buyers don’t.

We’ll ask the right questions and dial it in quickly.
