Requirements for pallets • Delivered pallets need to be damage-free, dry and of good quality. For example; they should not break during handling on a DC. • We allow only one product per pallet (homogene ous pallets). We only allow combined pallets if for every new product an in between pallet will be used We do not accept mixed pallets. The homogeneity of the pallet loading should be organized in a way that after removal of any transport packaging materials, the commercial product remains on the pallet as a “block”. E.g. correlated stacking. •Any transport packaging materials (such as foil) that have been removed on the instructions of Lekkerland will be immediately taken back by the Supplier upon delivery. In addition to the request to use these foils as little as possible, we ask that the foils be as transpa rent as possible. This allows them to be recycled in an optimal way. • We do not allow any other outer packaging other than strictly necessary for stability. The use of glue between the anti-slip sheets is only permitted if strictly necessary. • We determine the maximum height of the pallet to gether with our suppliers. Determining factors are the volume and turnover rates, the physical stackability of the colli (to prevent collapsing) and the available heights in the shelves of our DC’s. Please consult our supply chain department for more information. • Products need to be stacked within the pallet dimensions. Pallets need to be stacked according to a fixed pattern in which every layer needs to contain the same amount of colli. • We do not allow pallets that exceed the maximum weight that is allowed for that type of pallet. The usual maximum weights are 1000 kg for euro pallets and 1200 kg for Blok pallets. Circumstances can vary per DC which can lead to deviations in these maximum weights. Please contact our supply chain department for more information. • Supplier is obliged to take back all used packaging that is not part of a so-called “pool system”, at own expense en risk immediately after unloading. Any remaining packaging can be returned at the supplier’s expense.

To prevent reduction of the tension on the straps, the strapping of the display is best applied under tension and thermally (by melting) or with a metal seal. With heavy profiles (>60kg) we suggest that you use cardboard corner profiles. These cause more tension on the straps without cutting in the display. It also causes a better distribution of the pressure which results in more stability. Display delivery on pallet We require 4 display pallets per EURO-pallet upon delivery. To allow easy stacking of the displays with a forklift truck, the displays must be placed with the ‘ears/overhang’ facing outwards. Before transport to Lekkerland the pallets need to be wrapped in wrapping foil. If done mechanically, you must pay attention to the loading. If the wrapping is too tight, the top and the display construction can get damaged. We therefore recommend for heavy displays to add additional straps around the display and pallet. Please add the article number clearly on the ‘hat’ of the display. In case of inadequate packaging/delivery of displays, Lekkerland reserves the right to charge the resulting additional costs to the supplier

Pallets Lekkerland requires all suppliers to deliver on pool pallets. Lekkerland uses 2 pallet sizes: 100 x120 (Blok pallet) and 80 x 120 cm (Euro pallet). Suppliers can use only 1 of these pallet sizes per delivery. For chilled transport (AGF excluded) delivery on 80x120 cm is required.
