It has been used throughout Tesco’s logistical supply chain for the sale and supply of its products, which are sold in bulk during promotional campaigns or during specific times within a year.
The pallets are initially bound together in twos and separated on-site, allowing them to be rolled into stores directly.
The top of the pallet comes with a specific packaging component that acts as a tray.
DS Smith has supplied around 450,000 pallets to be used throughout Tesco’s entire network, which consists of approximately 7,000 points of sale.
