Chemical pallets are offered nationwide by Compliance Packaging International Ltd. CPI sells used chemical pallets and is a manufacturer of new chemical pallets under its license CP-984.

The chemical pallet type was originally developed for use by the European Chemical and Plastics Industries to harmonize industry standards.

Today chemical pallets are used in many industries and have a returnable exchange value in Europe at their end of life in the supply chain.

Some users refer to chemical pallets as CPs or CP Pallets. Chemical pallets come in nine different design types and sizes.

The most common chemical pallets used by North American industry, listed in order of most common to least common are the CP3, CP1, CP2, CP6, CP9, and CP8.

CP pallets generally correspond to a certain type of packaging and handling such as racked vs. floor stacked, and single stacked vs. multiple loaded units stacked atop each other. American chemical companies usually move their products in four primary types of packaging: drums — both steel and plastic, supersacks, boxes, and bags.

CP 1 pallets and CP 6 pallets best carry boxes and sacks.

Chemical Pallet 2 was designed to replace the euro pallet. This pallet is sometimes used in North America in place of the euro pallet.

When transporting super sacks and large drums, users can choose between the CP 3 and CP 9.

The Chemical Pallet 8 is only meant to move super sacks.
