PDS Offered in Several Languages
( Cont ' d from Page 19 ) We also recognize that manufacturers source domestic and imported wood species . Therefore , it was an essential enhancement for PDS to incorporate twenty new international wood species for lumber specification . These wood species added to PDS allow users to accurately design and specify a wooden pallet with locally , regionally sourced material from around the world .
The addition of languages and international wood species reinforces PDS ' status as the global standard for pallet design . NWPCA also offers ongoing support for PDS users , including a series of training webinars . Visit palletcentral . com / aboutpalletdesign to learn more .
The Pallet Foundation provides research and development funds for the Pallet Design System™ to stay on top of relevant trends that advance safety in the supply chain and encourage the reuse and conservation of materials . Learn more about the Pallet Foundation at palletfoundation . org .
