Presswood · Compressed · Molded Wood Blocks

A choice precise
to the millimetre.

The load-bearing foot of a wooden pallet is the block. Presswood blocks — aka compressed or molded wood blocks — leave the mold at exact size, nail without splitting and are exempt from ISPM-15. Scroll — load your truck.

Why do lines choose presswood?

Classified as processed wood in the official standard: no heat treatment, no IPPC stamp, no fumigation required. Your cargo never waits at port.

Every batch is a copy of the mold. Automated nailing lines run without jams or re-adjustment.

No knots, no one-way grain: the homogeneous body will not split along the nail line and grips firmly.

Low, stable moisture: no warping, no shrinking, no mold, no scale drift — and no waiting for a drying kiln.

Made from recovered wood chips; independent of lumber market swings. Your delivery dates hold.

Unchanging geometry and a consistent surface feed straight into robotic and automated lines.

Why blocks — and why presswood?

30-second summary

  • Presswood block = compressed = molded wood block: chips + resin, pressed in a mold.
  • ISPM-15 exempt — no heat-treatment stamp, no fumigation.
  • Sections: 90×90 · 70×90 · 95×95 · 145×100 · 145×145 mm; height cut to order.
  • Rule of thumb: one truck ≈ 40 m³ (≈54,800 pcs at 90×90×90).
  • Raw material: recovered wood chips — the circular approach EPAL uses in Euro pallets.

What the block does in a pallet

In block pallets the load travels through the blocks between the top deck and the runners; the blocks open the pallet to forklift entry from all four sides. Pallet life depends on the block's dimensional stability and nail grip.

Export difference: ISPM-15

ISPM-15 demands 30 minutes at 56 °C core temperature plus an IPPC stamp for raw-wood packaging. The official text excludes processed wood made with glue, heat and pressure — composite pallet blocks are explicitly listed as exempt [1]. Result: lower cost, faster shipping, zero border risk.

“Cargo waiting for a stamp is money waiting at the border.”

The green side: from chips to carrier

The body comes from sawmill by-products and recovered wood; no log is felled for a block [6][7]. End-of-life blocks are re-chipped back into production — EPAL uses wood-chip blocks in Euro pallets exactly this way and rates every component 100% recyclable [6]. Peer-reviewed life-cycle studies underline the same circularity [7][8].

Frequently asked questions

What is a presswood pallet block?
A pallet foot produced by pressing wood chips mixed with resin in a mold under high pressure and heat.
Are presswood, compressed and molded blocks the same?
Yes — different market names for the same product.
Is ISPM-15 heat treatment required for export?
No; it counts as processed wood — no stamp, no fumigation (see Sources).
Which sizes are available?
90×90, 70×90, 95×95 and 145×100 · 145×145 mm; height is cut to order.
How is shipping arranged?
Trucks within Türkiye; İskenderun/Mersin container ports for export. Plan with the Load Ruler.
Is it eco-friendly?
Yes; made from sawmill by-products and recovered chips, re-chipped into the loop at end of life (see Sources).
How many fit in one truck?
The field rule is ≈40 m³; at 90×90×90 mm that is ≈54,800 pcs. Use the calculator for your size.
