Some of the design-featurecombinations correspond to pallet types are either not feasible (e.g., a single-face reversiblepallet) or, if feasible, very uncommon due to their providing no benefit (e.g., a single-wingreversible pallet) or their inherent structural weakness (e.g., a four-way-block-leg singlefaceflush-stringer pallet, or a four-way-notched double-face reversible flush-stringerpallet).• The most common types of wooden pallets are listed in Table 5.• The most popular type of pallet is the two-way double-face nonreversible flush pallet.18
