History
IT ALL STARTED WITH PALLETS IN 2008, THEN CAME PIX®. WE'VE NOW JUST OPENED OUR MANUFACTURING FACILITY IN THE USA!
WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN INNOVATIVE – WE WIN AWARDS FOR IT.
Proud recipients of the King's Award for Enterprise in Innovation 2023
The PALLITE® Group began manufacturing sustainable products in the UK back in 2008. Today our award-winning range of eco-friendly honeycomb paper cardboard solutions for warehouse storage, logistics and packaging are revolutionising businesses globally.
We started with paper pallets which soon extended to shipping crates and pallet bearers but with sustainability and eco-friendly packaging and supply chain solutions at the forefront of many business’ objectives, why stop there? We knew our design and manufacturing capabilities could go so much further.
Honeycomb Paper is at our Core
The inherent benefits of honeycomb paper, our core material, includes its versatility and strength. With the purchasing of a new CNC machine, came the flexibility to develop new products for additional industries and sectors.
Innovation Gateway helped accelerate our growth when they invited us to showcase our sustainable products to British based global logistics providers and retail giants. This initiative provided us with some great customers, but no business can stand still, we certainly didn’t, introducing new designs and diversifying our product ranges was essential to remain competitive and fulfil on our growth forecasts.

PALLITE® PIX® was born!
Providing increased efficiency and accuracy for warehouse picking combined with better optimisation of storage space this innovative new storage solution gained instant traction with many of the big apparel retailers. Even before launch in March 2019 PIX® won the prestigious Technical Innovation Award at the UK Warehousing Association’s annual awards, further boosting sales and awareness.
But we didn’t stop there. Realising that whilst our heavy-duty PIX® range was great for some customers there was a need for a lighter weight version of PIX®.
PIX® SLOTS Lighter Weight Version of PIX® Launched in April 2021
A lower cost unit designed for lighter weight products typically apparel and fashion e-commerce.
Export of our innovative and eco-friendly storage bin family of products, PIX® is growing exponentially with an increasing global customer base.
PIX® SLOTS Angled Launched October 2021
One of the biggest challenges with the growth of ecommerce is poor pick accuracy and inefficiencies in a warehouse which is further exacerbated when small, lightweight SKUs slip from the front of pick bins. We were often faced with customers asking us to add lips or retainers to pick faces to prevent products falling from storage bins.
PIX® SLOTS Angled was designed by our inhouse team to help resolve this problem. A simple, effective and incredibly efficient warehouse storage bin solution with rearward sloping pick bins eliminating time wasted replacing or resorting fallen stock.
PIX® XL Bin Box Launched February 2023
Providing a storage solution for all sizes of products can be a challenge, one unit's specification certainly does not fit all.
Developing a solution to hold larger more bulky SKUs was imperative to be able to achieve the flexibility many customers require.
Optimising warehouse space to be able to adapt to seasonal changes which can mean bulkier products of clothing in the winter compared to the summer.
PIX XL Bin Box was designed to resolve these challenges.
With anything from 3 pick faces in a single sided unit to 6 in a twin.
‘PALLITE® are great, we have worked with them not only using their pallets but also used their flexible PIX® storage bins. They also supported with screens for our counter staff at the start of Covid where many companies struggled to provide solutions.'

To date we have sold PIX® storage solutions into USA, Australia, Israel, Sweden, Denmark, France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Canada and of course across the UK.
We have a huge number of satisfied customers all loving the flexibility of our environmentally friendly PIX® warehouse and storage bin solutions. They really appreciate the flexible nature of the units over more traditional alternatives like stackable cardboard and Correx storage bins.
EcoLITE - Sustainable Packaging Solutions
Recognising the need for a sustainable alternative to the traditional polystyrene, plastic and foam void fill and product protection we launched EcoLITE in 2020.
Simple and easy to manufacture profiles provide customers with the eco-friendly void fill many opt for in a bid to help reduce their carbon footprint and eliminate single use plastic packaging.
We purchased our newest machine in 2022, a purpose-built slitter, with the capabilities to produce simple squares and rectangle shapes perfect for void fill and packaging pads.
Bespoke packaging solutions
No expensive tooling charges, long lead times or large minimum order quantities.
