Pallet Build Standard Compliance Audit

Inspection template for verifying pallet build pattern, tie-height, stretch-wrap application, and load weight against the pallet build standard to confirm stable, transport-ready unit loads.

Inspection Scope and Load Identification

• Pallet ID, SKU, and destination recorded
• Inspection stage identified
• Load type matches approved pallet build standard

Pallet Base and Stack Pattern

• Pallet deck and stringers are intact with no visible structural damage
• Product is centered on the pallet and does not overhang edges beyond the standard
• Stack pattern is uniform and interlocked or column-stacked as specified
• Top layer is level and free of leaning, bulging, or shifted product
• Corner boards, slip sheets, or edge protection are present when required by the standard

Tie-Height and Load Containment

• Tie-height is within the approved pallet build standard
• Load height does not exceed the maximum allowed for safe transport
• No loose, protruding, or unsecured product is visible above the tie-height

Stretch-Wrap Application

• Stretch-wrap is applied from the base and anchored to the pallet
• Wrap coverage includes the required number of passes and top containment
• Wrap tension is sufficient to prevent load shifting without crushing product
• Stretch-wrap has no tears, gaps, or loose tails that could compromise containment

Weight and Transport Readiness

• Recorded pallet weight is within the approved standard
• Load is stable when lightly tested for movement
• Pallet is transport-ready with no visible defects requiring rework

Corrective Actions and Disposition

• Non-conformances documented with specific deficiency details
• Disposition selected for failed or at-risk load
• Corrective action owner and completion target recorded
