Products do not always fit safely onto a standard pallet.
Long products may extend beyond a conventional pallet footprint, while shorter products may require a more precisely sized supporting area to prevent unnecessary movement. Some products also need a defined frame around the base to keep them in position throughout handling, storage and transportation.
Eltete Pallet Tray with Frame is a customised transport-packaging solution intended for both short and long products. Eltete states that the system is designed to stabilise, secure and protect the product and can be combined easily with Eltete The Box. The tray and frame are produced according to the customer’s needs rather than being limited to one standard configuration.
What Is a Pallet Tray with Frame?
A Pallet Tray with Frame is a customised base structure used beneath or around a product during transportation.
Based on Eltete’s official product description, the solution combines two primary functions:
A tray that forms the product’s supporting base
A frame that helps stabilise, secure and protect the product
Eltete does not publish one universal construction drawing, material specification or dimensional range for every Pallet Tray with Frame. Instead, the company states that each solution is made according to the customer’s requirements.
The precise arrangement should therefore be determined according to the product and approved packaging design.
What Is the Main Purpose of the Frame?
Eltete identifies three principal functions for the Pallet Tray with Frame:
Stabilisation
The frame creates a defined structure around the product or its supporting area.
Its purpose is to help the product remain correctly positioned instead of moving freely across the tray during normal handling and transportation.
Securing
The frame can become part of the complete system used to hold the product and packaging components together.
The final package may still require an approved outer covering, strapping or another securing component depending on the product and packaging design.
Protection
The frame creates a physical structure between selected parts of the product and the surrounding handling environment.
The degree and type of protection depend on the approved frame construction, product sensitivity and additional materials used in the complete package.
Eltete summarises these functions by stating that the Pallet Tray with Frame stabilises, secures and protects.
Is It Suitable for Short Products?
Yes. Eltete specifically states that the Pallet Tray with Frame is suitable for short products.
A made-to-needs tray can be developed around the product instead of automatically using a pallet that is substantially larger than the load.
A short-product application may require a design that considers:
– The product footprint
– Its contact area with the tray
– The position of the frame
– The required outer packaging
– The intended handling system
These factors should be included in Eltete’s application review because the company develops its packaging products according to customer requirements and aims to minimise unnecessary packaging while maintaining product protection.
Is It Suitable for Long Products?
Yes. Long products are one of the applications explicitly identified by Eltete.
A long product may require a base that follows more of its length than a conventional pallet can provide. A customised tray and frame can be developed according to the product’s dimensions rather than restricting the packaging to a standard pallet footprint.
The final design must be confirmed for the actual product. Eltete does not publish one universal maximum length, load capacity or frame configuration for the Pallet Tray with Frame.
Can It Be Used for Irregular Products?
Eltete’s official product page describes the system as suitable for short and long products and states that it is made according to customer needs. It does not specifically claim that every irregular product is suitable.
An unusually shaped product may still be evaluated for a customised tray-and-frame solution, but suitability should be confirmed from:
– Product drawings
– Product dimensions
– The surfaces that can be supported
– Its required packaging arrangement
– The available handling method
This should be presented as an application to be assessed by Eltete, not as a guaranteed standard use.
How Does the Pallet Tray with Frame Work?
The Pallet Tray with Frame forms the supporting and stabilising section of a transport package.
A general concept may involve:
– A tray manufactured according to the product footprint
– A frame positioned around selected areas of the product
– The product placed within or onto the tray
– The frame used to establish the required support and protection
– The tray combined with The Box or another approved packaging arrangement
This is a conceptual explanation based on Eltete’s description of the product as a customised tray that stabilises, secures and protects. The exact components and assembly process must follow the customer-specific design.
Is the Pallet Tray a Complete Pallet?
Eltete presents the Pallet Tray with Frame as a separate solution within its e-commerce packaging range, alongside:
– Pallet Base with EdgeRunner®
– Self-Adhesive BoxRunner
– The Box
– Carton Pallet
This indicates that the Pallet Tray with Frame is its own packaging concept rather than simply another name for a standard Carton Pallet.
Whether a particular tray functions as the complete material-handling base or is combined with another pallet arrangement must be confirmed for the individual design.
What Is the Difference Between the Tray and the Frame?
The tray
The tray forms the lower section of the package.
Its role is to provide a defined base around which the product and the rest of the packaging system can be arranged.
The frame
The frame provides the surrounding structure required to stabilise, secure and protect the product.
The relationship between the two components depends on the customised packaging design.
Eltete does not provide separate universal specifications for the tray and frame. Both should therefore be considered parts of one application-specific system.
Main Benefits of a Pallet Tray with Frame
1. Suitable for different product lengths
Eltete identifies the solution as suitable for both short and long products.
This gives manufacturers an alternative to forcing products with very different dimensions onto one standard pallet or packaging format.
The final size is developed according to the customer’s requirement.
2. Customised according to the application
Eltete states that its Pallet Tray with Frame is made according to customer needs.
This means the packaging concept should be developed around the actual product rather than selected only from a standard catalogue dimension.
Eltete Malaysia’s broader approach is to develop competitive paper-based transport-packaging solutions according to customer requirements. Its environmental policy also emphasises maximum protection with the minimum necessary packaging material and subsequent recycling.
3. Helps stabilise the product
The frame is designed to add stability to the package.
This is especially relevant when a product’s dimensions do not naturally match a standard load platform.
The frame must still work together with the complete packaging arrangement. It should not be assumed that the frame alone replaces every form of product restraint or outer containment.
4. Helps secure the product
Eltete identifies securing as a core function of the solution.
The exact securing method is not stated publicly for every configuration. It may differ according to:
– The product
– The selected frame
– The outer package
– The approved assembly
– The complete transport requirement
Only the securing system specified for the final design should be used.
5. Adds product protection
Eltete states that the tray and frame protect the product as part of the complete packaging system.
The system may also be combined with The Box where broader side walls or enclosure are required.
Additional internal protection may be included in the customer-specific design where the product has sensitive areas.
6. Combines easily with The Box
Compatibility with Eltete The Box is one of the principal product benefits stated on the official e-commerce page.
The tray and frame can form the product’s lower supporting structure, while The Box provides the surrounding transport-box arrangement.
Eltete describes The Box as a combination of Honeycomb Board, Packaging Profiles and PallRun® components that can be developed for suitable light or heavy products. It can be combined with different pallet and cover solutions and is delivered as a kit.
7. Supports a complete customised packaging concept
Eltete develops packaging solutions by combining components from its wider product range according to the application.
The company’s official profile includes products such as:
– Honeycomb Board
– Packaging Profiles
– PallRun®
– The Box
– Paper Pallets
– Edgeboard
– U-Profiles
– Flatboard
Eltete states that different components can be combined to optimise strength and material use for the customer’s needs.
a
The Pallet Tray with Frame should therefore be assessed as part of the complete package, not as an isolated component.
Pallet Tray with Frame and The Box
How can they be combined?
Eltete states that the Pallet Tray with Frame is easy to combine with The Box.
In a combined concept:
– The Pallet Tray forms the customised lower base.
– The frame helps stabilise, secure and protect the product.
– The Box provides the surrounding transport-box structure.
– Additional approved components complete the package.
The exact relationship between these components depends on the customer-specific construction.
What does The Box add?
Eltete The Box is designed as a paper-based transport box combining Honeycomb Board, Packaging Profiles and PallRun®. It is described as:
– Suitable for light and heavy products
– Easy to assemble and disassemble
– Easy to load and unload
– Recyclable
– Available as a kit
– Compatible with different pallet and cover solutions
When combined with a Pallet Tray with Frame, The Box can provide the outer enclosure while the customised tray-and-frame arrangement supports the product at its base.
Is The Box always required?
No. Eltete states that the Pallet Tray with Frame is easy to combine with The Box, but it does not state that The Box is compulsory for every tray application.
Pallet Tray with Frame Compared with EdgeRunner®
Eltete EdgeRunner® is a paper-based pallet-base arrangement that offers strapping protection, minimised material use, shipment security and multiple combinations. It can optionally be attached directly to a box.
The Pallet Tray with Frame has a different stated purpose:
– It is suitable for short and long products.
– It stabilises, secures and protects.
– It can be combined with The Box.
– It is made according to customer needs.
EdgeRunner® may be relevant where a carton or board mainly needs a material-efficient pallet base.
The Pallet Tray with Frame may be considered where a more product-specific tray and stabilising frame are required.
What Products May Be Considered?
Eltete’s public page does not provide a detailed industry or product list for the Pallet Tray with Frame.
It confirms only that the solution is suitable for short and long products and made according to customer needs.
Potential applications should therefore be presented as products for evaluation rather than confirmed standard uses.
Examples of enquiries that Eltete may assess include products that:
– Are shorter than a conventional pallet footprint
– Extend beyond common pallet dimensions
– Require a defined supporting tray
– Need a stabilising base frame
– Will be packed inside The Box
– Require packaging made according to product dimensions
Suitability must be confirmed after Eltete reviews the individual application.
Information Required for a Custom Design
Because the Pallet Tray with Frame is made according to customer needs, Eltete requires accurate application information before confirming a design.
Product dimensions
Provide the complete:
– Length
– Width
– Height
Include any projections or sections that affect the packaging footprint.
Product weight
Provide the complete packed or supported weight.
Eltete’s wider packaging-development approach selects materials and components according to the customer’s strength and application requirements.
Product shape
Provide photographs or drawings showing how the product should sit within the tray.
This is particularly important where the product is not a simple rectangular shape.
Required support areas
Identify which product surfaces can rest on the tray or contact the frame.
Sensitive sections should also be clearly marked.
Required level of enclosure
Confirm whether the product needs:
Only the tray and frame
The Pallet Tray combined with The Box
Additional approved internal or external packaging
Handling method
Provide details of the intended handling process so the final package can be developed around the customer’s actual requirements.
Storage and transportation process
Explain the expected packaging journey, including relevant storage and shipment stages.
Eltete’s official policy is to consider the whole packaging chain while balancing product protection, material use and recycling.
How Should the Packaging Be Developed?
1. Application review
Eltete reviews the customer’s needs and product information.
The company states that it produces, develops and markets transport-paper packaging solutions according to customer requirements.
2. Selection of the packaging concept
The review determines whether the product requires:
– A Pallet Tray with Frame
– A combination with The Box
– Another Eltete pallet or packaging solution
– A combination of several components
3. Custom design
The tray and frame are developed according to the required application because Eltete does not offer the product only as one universal standard structure.
4. Sample or trial arrangement
The proposed design should be assessed using the actual or representative product before large-scale implementation.
Eltete Malaysia states that it applies product quality control and can provide compression, bending and strapping tests when needed.
5. Final packaging specification
The approved specification should identify the required components, arrangement and handling process.
Measured performance claims should apply only to the tested or approved configuration.
How Can Eltete Test the Packaging?
Eltete Malaysia’s official company profile lists in-house capabilities including:
– Compression testing
– Bending testing
– Strapping testing
The company also conducts quality-control checks on its transport-packaging products.
The tests required for a Pallet Tray with Frame depend on the complete package.
A result from another pallet, tray, frame or product should not automatically be applied to a new custom design.
Is There a Standard Load Capacity?
Eltete does not publish one universal load capacity for every Pallet Tray with Frame on its official e-commerce page.
The page states instead that the product is made according to customer needs.
A load claim should therefore only be published when it is supported by:
– The final approved construction
– The actual product arrangement
– Relevant Eltete testing
– The intended handling conditions
Avoid using the capacity of an Eltete Paper Pallet, Carton Pallet, PallRun® or The Box as the automatic capacity of a Pallet Tray with Frame.
Is It Recyclable?
Eltete presents the Pallet Tray with Frame within an e-commerce range based on light, strong and recyclable carton-board packaging solutions. The page describes the packaging range as using reduced amounts of 100% recyclable carton board that can be handled and recycled easily.
However, Eltete does not publish a detailed material breakdown for every Pallet Tray with Frame configuration.
The recyclability of the complete package should therefore be confirmed according to:
– The approved tray material
– The frame components
– The outer packaging
– Any strapping or film
– Adhesives or other securing materials
– Local recycling arrangements
It is safer to describe the solution as part of Eltete’s paper-based recyclable packaging range than to assume that every final package uses only one material.
Is It Suitable for Heavy-Duty Packaging?
Eltete’s e-commerce page specifically states that The Box is available for heavy-duty applications. It does not publish the same universal statement or capacity for every Pallet Tray with Frame.
A tray-and-frame system for a heavy product may be assessed and made according to customer needs, but no heavy-duty rating should be claimed until Eltete confirms the exact construction.
Is It Waterproof?
Eltete’s Pallet Tray with Frame description does not identify the standard solution as waterproof.
Water or moisture performance should not be added to the article unless it is supported by the approved specification for the customer’s final design.
The storage and handling conditions should be communicated to Eltete as part of the packaging-development process.
Is It Suitable for Every Long Product?
No universal Pallet Tray with Frame design should be assumed to suit every long product.
Eltete states that the product is made according to customer needs, which means the design must be developed for the individual application.
Another Eltete solution may be more appropriate where the product mainly requires:
– A standard Carton Pallet
– Self-Adhesive BoxRunner
– EdgeRunner®
– A Paper Pallet
– The Box without a specialised tray
– Another customised packaging system
