SAVE FREIGHT COSTS WITH SLIP SHEET TECHNOLOGY

Astron delivers direct cost savings to companies that move high volumes of unitised freight. Slip sheets – a lightweight, space saving, hygienic alternative to (wooden) pallets.



The use of slip sheets improves efficiencies in handling and transportation reducing freight cost/unit of product. You can dramatically reduce costs and increase efficiency by replacing wooden pallets with slip sheet systems.



The top five reasons companies use slipsheets.
