The chemical industry has standardised the pallets it uses into nine different types. In the chemical pallet (CP) system, standardised CPs are included in the sales price of goods. Recipients of goods can either reuse the pallet or return it for reuse via a CP-registered pallet manufacturer/ reconditioner. Jayant Packing Industry has been a registered manufacturer since the start of the CP system, and also offers repairs.

CP 1 to 5 are pallets with skids. They are used by the majority of chemical companies. Reasons favouring the use of skid pallets CP 1 to CP 5 are:

• they are cheaper than frame pallets
• repairs are easier than with frame pallets
• they are sufficiently stable
• easy for users of manual lift trucks to manage
