ISPM15 heat-treated pallets manufactured and kiln-treated on one site in Devon — certified, stamped and delivered across the UK, in standard or bespoke sizes.
If your goods leave the UK on a wooden pallet, that pallet must be ISPM15 heat treated and stamped — or your shipment risks being stopped, treated or destroyed at the border. APS Packaging manufactures new wooden pallets and heat treats them in our own on-site kilns at Bideford, Devon, so certified export pallets come off one production line, with no third-party treatment delays.
ISPM15 is the international standard for solid-wood packaging. Timber is heated until its core reaches 56°C for at least 30 minutes, killing pests and pathogens, then stamped with the internationally recognised HT mark. We are registered under the UK’s wood packaging marking programme and our kilns and marking are audited for compliance.
Standard footprints or fully bespoke — made to your specification, in any volume.
Bespoke heat-treated crates for machinery, defence and high-value goods.
ISPM15-certified cases and packaging for international shipping.
The complete export service: design, manufacture, treatment and delivery.
Yes. Since Brexit, wooden pallets and packaging moving from Great Britain to the EU must be ISPM15 compliant — the same as shipping to the rest of the world.
The wheat-stamp mark shows the IPPC symbol, the country code and registration number, and the treatment code (HT for heat treatment) — proof for customs that the timber has been correctly treated.
Yes — because we manufacture and treat on the same site, any pallet we make, standard or bespoke, can be supplied heat treated and stamped.
Not necessarily — kiln drying reduces moisture, while ISPM15 heat treatment is a certified process with specific core temperature and duration requirements plus the compliance stamp. Our kilns do both.
