Why composite block?
The Eirebloc product is manufactured to rigorous quality criteria approved by EPAL and is submitted to regular monitoring by independent assessment bodies. The composite block product suits all EU and international shipping standards for wood packaging materials.
More and more pallet manufacturers throughout Europe are switching to composite block as they discover the advantages that it offers over its solid block counterpart.
These advantages include:
| Characteristics | Benefits to user |
|---|---|
| Dimensions are consistently more accurate than solid block could ever be. | Enables automated pallet manufacturing lines to operate at faster speeds with a corresponding improvement in unit cost efficiencies. |
| Blocks sold pre-cut to exact size. | Significant saving in costs of handling, sawing and waste. |
| Superior nail retention qualities. | Longer life, safer handling. |
| Exceptionally low moisture content. | Decreases weight and so improves unit carriage costs, reduces risk of mould growth and is therefore more hygienic. |
| Splitting during nailing is eliminated. | Enhances safety and longevity. |
| Uses recycled materials. | Positive environmental profile. |
| Matches latest international phytosanitory standards. | Bacteria growth and other pests eliminated. |
| Readily moulded into a wide variety of shapes. | High degree of flexibility to satisfy customer expectations. |
| Highly competitive price. | Significant unit cost savings. |
