It's simple logic...

Why fit your product to a shipping platform, when you can fit your shipping platform to your product?

To generate dramatic savings throughout the supply chain you require a solution that precisely fits your needs.

The logical choice is the OptiLedge System

For years, people in the transportation and distribution businesses have been trying to force-fit loads onto a standard-sized load platform. When the more logical, effective and economical method is to do the opposite - make the load carrier conform to the size and shape of the goods you're shipping.

The revolutionary, very lean, one-way OptiLedge System makes use of a lightweight, L-shaped unit load transport device - The OptiLedge - an alternative base for unit loads that is integral to the packaged product during its storage and distribution.

Associated Packaging, Inc. is a licensed* distributor of the OptiLedge and the OptiLedge System.

We are proud to offer the revolutionary OptiLedge System to customers interested in saving money by reducing their unit load costs. This plastic "ledge" technology enables product manufacturers the opportunity to replace conventional wood pallets with a new lower cost shipping platform. The OptiLedge System allows manufacturers, distributors and retailers to improve their supply chain efficiencies by reducing costs and improving
cube utilization while eliminating the headaches associated with wooden pallet disposal or pallet return programs.

HP85 High Profile Optiledge

The HP85 High Profile OptiLedge load carriers are designed to use with most common pallet jacks, forklift trucks and motorized pallet trucks.

OptiLedge load carriers can be fitted to unit loads in an infinite number of ways to accommodate an endless variety of goods. The system's unparalleled versatility allows the size and shape of the goods, the shipping conditions and the needs of each of your partners in the supply chain to determine the design of unit loads.

At approximately one pound each, it is now possible to create a unit load platform that is substantially lighter than pallet alternatives.  The low cost, ultra-light and phytosanitary OptiLedge is easily adapted to different applications, structurally durable, and operationally efficient. 

With the "one-way" OptiLedge system, for the first time, the demands of your product and supply chain, not the dimensions of a pallet, or other unit load platform, determine the size of your load and dictate how handling, transport and storage are organized.
