Pallet collars

A sustainable investment

Vida developed pallet collars in cooperation with one of the world’s largest consumers of pallet collars as early as 1957. Since then we have been looking for material or designs that could be more cost-effective. We have not yet been able to find any cheaper material than wood, that also has the same strength and flexibility and is as environmentally friendly. This means that the pallet collar remains very relevant as a packaging box.

Benefits of pallet collars

• Flexible and returnable
• Streamlined cargo handling
• The metallic hinges and wood retain a high quality, allowing for safe stacking.
• The load volume can be as large as desired
• Small return volume
• Environmentally friendly
• Long lifespan
• Can be adapted to the needs and wishes of the buyer: pallet size, colour, strength, logos or other marking.

Collar planters

Vida also manufactures environmentally friendly collar planters made from Swedish wood. The flexible design allows you to put several collar planters together and create different shapes and modules. Paint and decorate the collars to match the surrounding area and extend the lifespan, or let them age naturally.

Create a better planting environment

The collar planter creates a protected growing area with the collar’s sides protecting against the wind. Use a ground cloth at the bottom to protect against grass and weeds from beneath. Create a flexible working height by quickly and simply stacking up several collar planters to the height that suits you. The collar planters are easy to assemble and store.
