Longread #364 -- Pallets -- 8/8/13

As someone who is not actively involved in business logistics, it's easy to forget about all of the tools necessary to keep products on the shelves. This article looks at pallets, their role in the global economy, and the ways that they are being redesigned for optimal efficiency.

I'll be out of town again tomorrow, so no longread will be posted. Have a great weekend!
