Digital Twin
Full structural validation before the first cut is made.
Engineering Your Perfect Pallet with PDS Software.
The Pallet Design System™ was first developed by the Pallet Laboratory at Virginia Tech in 1980. The goal was straightforward: give pallet users and manufacturers a shared technical language for defining performance expectations. It has been continuously refined ever since, and today it remains the leading engineering tool for wooden pallet design.
Each new release of PDS incorporates updated structural data and industry standards, ensuring designs stay optimized for real-world conditions, including load weight, stacking behaviour, transport type, and regional compliance requirements.
At World Wood Industries, our certified designers work directly with your team to understand the full picture, then deliver the most structurally sound and commercially viable solution. Nothing over-built. Nothing under-specified.
Core Capabilities
Precision Design
We design new pallets from scratch or rework existing ones to meet your dimensional, structural, and compliance requirements.
Structural Validation
Every design is load-tested computationally before production begins, so there are no surprises on the floor or in the field.
Standards Compliance
All designs are checked against ISPM-15, Euro pallet specifications, and any client-specific requirements for cross-border readiness.
Multi-Industry Experience
From automotive to retail and construction, we have built pallet solutions across a wide range of industries and load profiles.
High-Volume Production
Once your design is signed off, it goes straight into production. Our facility is equipped to handle large volume orders without compromising on quality.
Timber Species Selection
We select the right wood species for your application, matching strength, weight, and climate suitability to your specific use-case.
Brief to Build
Our Engineering Lifecycle
Consultation
We review your load specs, dimensions, and compliance needs to define the full technical brief.
Digital Prototype
Our PDS designers model your pallet structurally and simulate load-bearing performance before anything is built.
Verification
The design is reviewed against relevant international standards and signed off for production.
Precision Build
Your pallets are manufactured to spec and delivered quality-checked and ready to load.
