When pallets are part of your everyday operation, choosing the right product is only part of the decision. You also need a pallet supplier that understands what you are moving, how the pallets will be handled, how often they are needed, and whether your requirements change from one application to another.
Demcor provides commercial pallet solutions from its location in Newport, Tennessee, with a primary focus on standard GMA pallets, reconditioned and recycled pallets, and heat-treated pallets. The company also provides custom-designed pallets, combo pallets, block pallets, and crates for businesses with different shipping, storage, and material-handling requirements.
Founded in 2011, Demcor is a family-owned business focused on practical pallet solutions, quality, and more responsible use of wood materials. Rather than assuming the same pallet works for every operation, the conversation begins with what the customer needs the pallet or crate to do.
What Pallet Services Does Demcor Provide?
The right option depends on more than dimensions alone. Product size and weight, material-handling equipment, storage conditions, order volume, shipping requirements, and how frequently pallets are needed can all affect which solution is appropriate.
Businesses can review Demcor’s available pallet and crate options to better understand which products may fit their shipping, storage, and material-handling needs.
Standard GMA Pallet Supply
For many warehouses, manufacturers, distributors, and other commercial operations, a standard pallet format can make purchasing and material handling easier to plan.
Standard GMA pallets are one of Demcor’s primary areas of focus. They may be appropriate for businesses that need a familiar pallet configuration for recurring shipping, storage, warehouse movement, or product distribution.
Before requesting pallets, buyers should consider how the load will be arranged, what equipment will handle it, where the pallet will be stored, and whether there are customer-specific requirements that need to be followed. Businesses with recurring pallet requirements should also provide estimated quantities and ordering frequency when requesting a quote.
The goal is to understand the application before determining which available pallet option fits the request.
Reconditioned and Recycled Pallet Solutions
Not every application requires a newly manufactured pallet.
Reconditioned and recycled pallets are among Demcor’s primary product areas. They can provide another option for businesses evaluating ongoing pallet requirements while also supporting the continued use of suitable wood materials.
Selection should still be based on the intended application. A reconditioned pallet that works well for one operation may not automatically be right for another load, handling environment, or customer requirement.
Businesses considering reconditioned or recycled pallets should provide information about pallet dimensions, expected quantities, the intended load, handling conditions, and how frequently pallets will be needed.
This gives Demcor a clearer understanding of the request and helps keep the conversation focused on what the operation actually requires.
Heat-Treated Pallets
Heat-treated pallets are one of Demcor’s primary product areas.
Businesses may request heat-treated pallets when their customer, shipping process, or individual application calls for treated wood packaging. Because requirements can vary, customers should provide any specifications associated with their order when requesting a quote.
Demcor can then review the information provided and discuss the available heat-treated pallet option.
Heat-treated pallet requirements can vary depending on the customer, shipment, application, and destination. Businesses with specific treatment, marking, documentation, or shipping requirements should provide those details when requesting a quote so Demcor can review the application and discuss the available options.
Custom Pallet Design
Standard pallets work well for many products, but some loads require a different approach.
Demcor provides custom-designed pallets for businesses whose products, dimensions, handling conditions, or storage requirements do not fit a standard pallet configuration. A custom design allows the pallet requirements to be considered around the product and the way it moves through the operation.
A useful custom pallet conversation begins with basic information about the load. Product dimensions, approximate weight, weight distribution, stacking requirements, handling equipment, storage conditions, and expected quantities can all help clarify what is needed.
Photographs, drawings, existing specifications, or packaging information may also be useful when available.
The purpose is to give Demcor enough information to understand the application before discussing an appropriate pallet design.
Combo Pallets
Demcor also provides combo pallets for businesses whose requirements call for a combination of new and reconditioned wood components.
Whether a combo pallet is appropriate depends on the intended application, customer specifications, product requirements, and available materials. For that reason, combo pallets should not automatically be positioned as cheaper, stronger, or better than another pallet type.
They are simply another available configuration that may fit certain pallet requirements.
Businesses interested in combo pallets should provide information about dimensions, load requirements, quantities, handling conditions, and any existing specifications when contacting Demcor.
Block Pallets
Block pallets are another pallet configuration available from Demcor.
Their construction differs from common stringer-style pallet designs, and the appropriate configuration depends on how the pallet will be loaded, lifted, moved, stored, and used within the customer’s operation.
Businesses considering block pallets should provide their required dimensions, product information, expected quantities, handling requirements, and any existing pallet specifications.
Rather than selecting a pallet based only on its name or appearance, the better approach is to evaluate how the pallet needs to function within the operation.
Custom Wood Crates
Some products require more enclosure or structural support than an open pallet provides.
Demcor offers crates for customers with different packaging, handling, storage, and transportation requirements. Crating needs can vary considerably depending on the size, shape, weight, and characteristics of the product.
When requesting a crate, it helps to provide product dimensions, approximate weight, photographs or drawings when available, handling information, and expected quantity.
These details give Demcor a clearer picture of what the crate needs to support and allow the discussion to begin with the actual product rather than assumptions.
How Does Demcor Help You Choose a Pallet Solution?
A useful pallet conversation starts with the operation rather than simply choosing a product name.
Two businesses may request the same general pallet size but use those pallets very differently. One may need pallets for regular warehouse movement, while another may have unusual product dimensions, different handling equipment, or specific customer requirements.
Before requesting a quote, businesses should consider what the pallet or crate needs to carry, its approximate dimensions and weight, how it will be handled or stored, how many units are needed, and whether there are specific customer or treatment requirements that Demcor should know about.
You do not need to have every technical detail figured out before reaching out. Providing the information already available simply makes the initial conversation more productive and gives Demcor a better understanding of what your operation needs.
Demcor also offers heat-treated pallets for businesses whose customers, shipping processes, or applications call for treated wood packaging. Because treatment and shipping requirements can differ from one application to another, businesses should provide any relevant specifications, marking requirements, documentation needs, or other shipment details when requesting a quote. Demcor can then review the information provided and discuss the available pallet options for the application.
Standard, Reconditioned, Heat-Treated, or Custom?
There is no single pallet type that is right for every business.
A standard GMA pallet may be appropriate when a familiar pallet format fits the application. Reconditioned or recycled pallets may be considered when suitable reused pallets align with the customer’s requirements. Heat-treated pallets are available when the application calls for treated material.
Custom design pallets can be considered when the product or operation requires something outside a standard configuration. Combo and block pallets provide additional options, while crates can be used when the product needs greater enclosure or structural support.
The decision should begin with what the pallet needs to do rather than assuming one type is always better than another.
Supporting More Responsible Wood Use
Sustainability is part of Demcor’s business story.
Reconditioned and recycled pallets can help keep suitable wood materials in use rather than treating every pallet as a single-use product. At the same time, responsible pallet selection still requires attention to condition, customer specifications, product requirements, and handling conditions.
Demcor brings new pallet supply, reconditioned and recycled options, and custom solutions together so businesses can evaluate their needs according to the actual application.
For companies reviewing their pallet requirements, this creates an opportunity to consider both day-to-day operational needs and responsible material use as part of the same purchasing decision.

Why Work With Demcor?
Demcor has been in business since 2011 and is family-owned.
The company’s focus is straightforward: understand what the customer needs from a pallet or crate and discuss an option that fits the application.

Responsible use of wood materials is also part of Demcor’s approach. Reconditioned and recycled pallet options support the continued use of suitable materials while giving businesses another way to evaluate their pallet requirements.
