palletise
Arrange for shipping
To palletise is to load or arrange goods onto a pallet for storage or transport.
The spelling with -ise is British; Americans write palletize.
Palletised cargo moves efficiently through warehouses and onto trucks: The factory palletises thousands of units daily.
The practice revolutionised logistics by standardising how goods stack and ship.
