Structurally, these pallets do not differ. They have the same size and fastening system. The difference lies in their owners: the blue pallets are owned by CHEP, and the red ones belong to LPR. This means that the companies are the full and sole owners of the pallets, and the client uses them for a rental fee.
The EPAL system is an open pool. The customer buys the pallet from the direct manufacturer and uses it as he sees fit. EPAL is considered to be more economically beneficial.
