FirmaCap pallet caps provide an alternative to heavy wood boards. When combined with FirmaCore or FirmaDeck corrugated pallets, they create a lightweight package protection system that reduces transit costs and generates revenue through recycling. Compared to 44- x 56-in. wood pallets capped with standard wood caps, Firma brand corrugated pallet protection systems are said to offer an 87% reduction in weight in an average truckload. Additionally, the entire corrugated packaging solution can be recycled with other corrugated materials, generating up to $33 in revenue per truckload.

Recyclable corrugated pallets are designed for customers whose shipments travel long distances or whose shipping patterns otherwise prevent the return of pallets through a closed-loop system. Both the FirmaCore corrugated 44- x 56-in. pallet and the FirmaDeck corrugated 44- x 56-in. pallet are made for the one-way shipment of lightweight cans.
