Common Industry Terms
Block
Rectangular, square, multisided, or cylindrical deck spacer, often identified by its location within the pallet as corner block, end block, edge block, inner block, or center or middle block.
Block size
Pallet member dimension, specified by width followed by height and length.
Deckboard
Element or component of pallet top and bottom, perpendicular to stringers.
Deckboard size
Specified by thickness followed by width and length.
Delamination
A visible separation in the plane of a panel or panel component. This may occur in the panel manufacturing process, or in use due to rough handling. The latter may be caused by impacting panel edges with a tine tip, and may or may not result in material being removed from the panel component.
