With so many pallet specs, how many different pallets do I need to stock?
That is a business decision. One case would have you buying different materials for each region of the world you ship to. This way you would avoid spending extra money on heat-treated wood when you are not exporting. A second case is to leverage all purchases into one in-compliance pallet. This would be an easier process to follow in-house rather than determining which pallet must go with each shipment. The EIPS pallet solution will drive us into one pallet that meets all global regulatory standards.
