Pallet collar sizes, heights and volume compared
Pallet collars come in three sizes, 1200 x 800, 1200 x 1000 and 800 x 600 mm, each 195 to 200 mm high, and each collar adds 0.192, 0.24 or 0.096 m³ of space above its pallet.
| Collar | Fits pallet (mm) | Height per collar | Space at 200 mm | Space at 400 mm | Space at 600 mm | Space at 800 mm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Euro | 1200 x 800 | 195 to 200 mm | 0.192 m³ (192 litres) | 0.384 m³ (384 litres) | 0.576 m³ (576 litres) | 0.768 m³ (768 litres) |
| UK standard | 1200 x 1000 | 195 to 200 mm | 0.24 m³ (240 litres) | 0.48 m³ (480 litres) | 0.72 m³ (720 litres) | 0.96 m³ (960 litres) |
| Half | 800 x 600 | 195 to 200 mm | 0.096 m³ (96 litres) | 0.192 m³ (192 litres) | 0.288 m³ (288 litres) | 0.384 m³ (384 litres) |
Space is the pallet footprint multiplied by the collar height, so these are outer figures. The inside of a collar is smaller by the thickness of its boards. Our collar boards are 15 to 20 mm thick, so a Euro collar with 20 mm boards is about 1160 x 760 mm inside.
The 1200 x 1000 and 800 x 600 collars stand 195 to 200 mm, the same height as the Euro collar.
Four Euro collars hold 0.768 m³ above the pallet.
How tall is a stack of pallet collars?
A stack of pallet collars grows 200 mm with every Euro collar added, so four of them on an EPAL Euro pallet stand 944 mm from the floor, made up of 144 mm of pallet and 800 mm of collars.
Collars of all three sizes add 195 to 200 mm each, because only the footprint changes between sizes.
344 mmOne 200 mm collar on an EPAL Euro pallet
544 mmTwo 200 mm collars on an EPAL Euro pallet
744 mmThree 200 mm collars on an EPAL Euro pallet
944 mmFour 200 mm collars on an EPAL Euro pallet
The same sum works on an EPAL 6 half pallet, which is also 144 mm high, so add 144 mm to the height of the collars on it. On a UK standard 1200 x 1000 pallet, start from that pallet's own height, because UK standard builds vary. Stackable pallet collars sit one on another while the load is in them and fold flat when they come off. Put the clearance height in the quote request if the stack has to fit under a shelf, a door or a mezzanine.
How many hinges does a pallet collar have?
We stock wooden pallet collars with 4 or 6 hinges, and the hinges let a collar fold flat when it is off the pallet.
Both hinge counts come in all three sizes. If your site already runs collars, tell us their hinge count. The top collar of a stack stays open until a lid closes it.
Pallet collar lids in plywood or softwood
Pallet collar lids come in plywood or softwood and close the top collar of a stack, and the material decides whether the lid needs ISPM 15 treatment for export.
Plywood lids are exempt from ISPM 15, and softwood lids need the treatment and the mark for export.
| Lid | Fits | Export under ISPM 15 |
|---|---|---|
| Plywood lid | 1200 x 800, 1200 x 1000 and 800 x 600 collars | Exempt, as plywood is processed wood |
| Softwood lid | The same collar sizes as the plywood lid | Needs ISPM 15 treatment and the mark, because solid wood counts as wood packaging |
We sell plywood and softwood lids for all three collar sizes, on the same delivery as the collars.
Name the lid material when you ask, and say if the load is for export.
Which suits the load, new, used or plastic pallet collars?
New wooden pallet collars suit export loads, used collars suit loads that stay in Great Britain, and plastic collars suit wet or hygienic sites.
Plastic collars sit outside ISPM 15, used wooden collars need the mark to export, and new wooden collars are heat treated and marked on request.
| Feature | New wooden collars | Used wooden collars | Plastic collars |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Softwood | Softwood | Plastic |
| Condition | No wear | Checked by us for sound boards and working hinges, though old marks may show | New, in all three sizes |
| ISPM 15 for export | Heat treated and marked with ISPM 15 on request | Yes if it carries the mark; otherwise treated and marked first | Outside ISPM 15, which covers wood packaging |
| Best for | Export loads | Loads staying in Great Britain | Wet or hygienic sites |
Yes. A used collar can go for export when it carries a legible ISPM 15 mark, and a used collar without the mark needs treating and marking first.
For a washdown floor or a wet yard, ask for plastic collars. Every wooden collar that leaves for export needs the same mark.
Heat-treated pallet collars for export (ISPM 15)
Wooden pallet collars shipped abroad, or from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, need ISPM 15 treatment, such as heat treatment, and a legible ISPM 15 mark. The GOV.UK guidance "Wood packaging material for import and export" counts pallet collars as wood packaging.
Heat treatment means 56°C at the core for at least 30 minutes, and the ISPM 15 mark shows the country, the producer and the treatment.
- Heat treatment
- 56°C at the core for at least 30 minutes, whole profile
- The mark shows
- Country, producer and treatment
- Plywood lids
- Exempt as processed wood
- Pallets, box pallets and pallet collars all count as wood packaging under the rules.
- Heat treatment holds the wood at 56°C for at least 30 continuous minutes through the whole profile, core included.
- A legible ISPM 15 mark removes the need for a phytosanitary certificate.
- Wood packaging that fails ISPM 15 "could be rejected or destroyed", according to GOV.UK.
Tick the ISPM 15 box on the quote form when the collars are going abroad or from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, and the mark itself is explained under heat treated pallets. A collared pallet keeps the footprint of the pallet under it, so the pallet calculator works from the pallet size for a container load. Collars for export and for the yard down the road are delivered the same way.

What sets the cost of a pallet collar
The price of a pallet collar follows the size, new or used, wood or plastic, heat treatment, lids, the number of collars and the delivery distance.
- SizeThe footprint (1200 x 800, 1200 x 1000 or 800 x 600 mm), the collar height and the hinge count each change the collar, so give all three.
- ConditionNew and used collars are priced apart, so say which you will take, or both.
- MaterialA plastic collar is a different product from a softwood one, and it is priced on its own.
- Heat treatmentTreatment and marking add a step before export collars leave.
- LidsName the number of lids and the material, as set out in the lid table above.
- QuantityCount collars, not stacks, so four collars on one pallet are four collars on the quote.
- Delivery distanceThe run from us to your site is part of the delivered price.
We do not publish a price list because collar prices change with size, condition and distance. Send the seven details above with your request.

Which pallet goes under a pallet collar?
The pallet under a collar is the one whose footprint the collar matches, which is a Euro pallet under a 1200 x 800 collar, a UK standard pallet under a 1200 x 1000 collar and a half pallet under an 800 x 600 collar.
The EPAL Euro pallet measures 1200 x 800 x 144 mm, and its full spec is on our Euro pallets page. A UK standard pallet measures 1200 x 1000 mm, with height and build varying by supplier, so name the build when you ask about UK standard pallets. The EPAL 6 half pallet measures 800 x 600 x 144 mm and takes an 800 x 600 collar. Put the pallets in the same quote request as the collars.
Pallet collar FAQs
What is a pallet collar?
A pallet collar is a hinged wooden frame that sits on a pallet and turns it into an open box. Collars stack to the height the load needs, and plastic collars also exist.
What are pallet collars used for?
Pallet collars turn a flat pallet into a stackable crate for storing and moving loose goods, with a lid to close the top. Empty collars fold flat between loads.
What wood are pallet collars made of?
Wooden pallet collars are typically softwood boards joined by hinges. Lids are plywood or softwood, and plastic collars are the alternative to wood.
Are pallet collars treated?
Wooden pallet collars are treated when they carry an ISPM 15 mark, which names the treatment. HT means at least 30 minutes at 56°C at the core. Exports and loads from Great Britain to Northern Ireland need the mark.
Where can I buy pallet collars near me?
We supply pallet collars to any UK site a lorry can reach, in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, from one collar to a full load.
