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 designs were first created by European chemical and plastics companies to standardize pallet sizes.

Over time a number of other industries began moving goods on chemical pallets and recognized the value of having harmonized sizes and standards. In Europe, chemical pallets are exchangeable and possess a deposit value when returned to a pallet company.

Chemical pallets, also known as CP-Pallets or CPs come in nine different sizes and are designated CP-1, CP-2, CP-3, CP-4, CP-5, CP-6, CP-7, CP-8 and CP-9.

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.

Chemical Pallet 8 is used solely for supersacks.
