Pallet stabilization with chipboard

What is chipboard used for? Chipboard can be used as a pallet stabilizer and protection for products. When compared to corrugated sheets, it's less expensive, lightweight and reusable. It's a great alternative for pallet stabilization if you're looking to reduce costs. We've had many companies come to us looking for a way to reduce material costs and not know where to look.
