A slip sheet means a flat surface available in a few composite materials like:
- Paperboard
- Plastic
- Solid fibre
The sheet is meant for facilitating the loading and dispensing process of commercial goods in transit, which is a viable substitute for wooden pallets. This system was widely used in many developed countries like Europe, America, and Japan.
