February 2021 – Winchester, VA
Monoflo International launched a new Rackable 48” x 40” Pallet this month, designed for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
Manufactured using FDA-approved material and a USDA-approved design, the new Rackable 48” x 40” Pallet is available in both PP (polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene) to provide flexibility to perform in any application. This high-pressure injection molded pallet is designed to perform in supported and unsupported edge racking applications, maximizing floor storage space. The one-piece flow through design facilitates cleaning and sanitation processes to maintain hygienic properties.
For downstream distribution applications, this pallet is equipped with snap-in RFID slots that can be loaded at the time of manufacturing, or by the end user after manufacturing and delivery. The pallet can also accommodate external RFID labels, designed with deep recessed areas to keep tracking labels from getting skimmed off during transit.
And because this pallet is made using no metal inserts, it can be easily recycled at the end of its useful life, helping end user’s reach their sustainability goals. For more information on this pallet, call 540-771-3077 or complete a contact form to speak with a sales team member.

September 2020 – Winchester, VA
Monoflo International has launched its new Nestable 48 x 40 Pallet, the newest product in its next generation pallet line. Designed for one of the toughest applications, downstream grocery distribution, the NP 4840-6-IM-W G2 offers many features to deliver exceptional performance and extended product life.
This high-pressure injection molded pallet features a two-piece welded design, welded not only around the perimeter of the pallet but also throughout the pallet ribs, creating 35 in2 of welded surface area, offering superior performance with heavier loads while maintaining a low tare weight.
Understanding that it is common for forklifts to hit pallet feet causing them to shear off and be rendered useless, Monoflo engineers focused heavily on the foot design of this pallet, developing a patent pending Flex Foot that can bend to deflect impact rather than sheer off.
While nestable pallets offer desirable space saving storage and backhaul efficiency, many pallets can be challenging to denest when nesting deck to deck. This pallet’s recessed handholds enable manual operators to denest and grip the pallet with one manipulation, rather than first having to denest the pallet and then grab it to handle.
In an environment as fast paced as wholesale grocery distribution, it was important to consider load stability from initial loading and lifting to transporting under various types of acceleration. To address this, the NP 4840-6-IM-W design includes a specialized texture pattern across the pallet deck to reduce slippage. Optional features include additional texture around the perimeter of the top deck to increase main deck friction, top deck grommets, and deck lips to minimize load shifting.
Additionally, flow through drain holes in the feet of the pallet facilitate cleaning and sanitizing processes to ensure the pallet maintains its sanitary properties throughout its life. Made entirely from high-density polyethylene (HPDE), this product can be easily recycled at the end of its useful life.

Monoflo International is putting the finishing touches on another facility expansion — this time, the construction of a new mold storage building.
Last week, the company moved into the final stages of construction at their manufacturing facility in Winchester, Virginia, putting the roof on a new 4,900 sq. ft space adjacent to their manufacturing building. The new addition will include a 60-ton crane to handle molds weighing up to 120,000 lbs. and will be outfitted with new equipment that will improve and expedite the maintenance process of these molds.
The new space will free up the areas that were previously used to store molds when not in use, creating more manufacturing floor space for new machines and robotics, increasing overall production capacity and decreasing lead times. The company plans to begin moving into the space towards the end of the month.

Over $2 million invested towards sustainability initiative
January 2019, Winchester, VA
Monoflo International, Inc. just expanded its reprocessing and recycling operation to include a new, state-of-the-art reprocessing facility at their corporate headquarters in Winchester, Virginia. The manufacturer of reusable transport packaging invested over two million dollars in infrastructure and machinery to expand its recycling capacity, nearly tripling the amount of scrap material the company can process. The new facility dedicates an additional 57,000 square feet to reprocessing and recycling broken or obsolete high-density polyethylene (HDPE) products.
In addition to preventing tens of thousands of pounds of plastic from ending up in a landfill, Monoflo’s “buyback” program offers customers a way to sell off reusable pallets and distribution containers that have reached their end-of-life, regardless of the product’s original manufacturer. Additionally, Monoflo’s in-house process offers complete separation from dirt, debris, metals, paper, and adhesives, which results in a higher quality material that the company then uses to manufacture new product.
