Julie Barber (asker) Oct 29, 2006:
I was being totally serious too and there was no patronising intention whatsover and I was genuinely thanking you for your help
CMJ_Trans (X) Oct 29, 2006:
I'm sure you didn't mean to sound patronising but the point I was trying to make is serious. From language to language approaches can be different and a concept given a name in one may be otherwise expressed in another cf. Tony's reply in this acse
Julie Barber (asker) Oct 29, 2006:
OK, for technical things I really like to check out that there's not a specific term, I don't want somebody to just be able to understand my translation, I want the 'right' one..! but thanks for your help anyway.
CMJ_Trans (X) Oct 29, 2006:
this is quite simply a document that gives the details of all the items packed each pallet - pallet content record ????? I suspect in English we would say: would provide details of the product(s) packed on each of the different pallets ie no name as such
Julie Barber (asker) Oct 29, 2006:
This is a contract setting out the packaging specifications of fragile glass bottles/items
Julie Barber (asker) Oct 29, 2006:
Yeah, I know, that was a real lazy one wasn't it? :-) it's Sunday......
Tony M Oct 29, 2006:
Julie, it's all very well saying "see other questions", but do you realize what a fiddle that is? If you want to encourage people to help, at least post the URLs! :-)

packing list (for pallet)

Julie, I've not personally come across a specific name for a pallet listing, but I think this generic term might possibly do; it depends a bit WHO it is meant to be read by, and what FUNCTION it serves — could be instructions for packer in goods outward warehouse, or like a delivery note for benefit of customer goods inward...

Just for info, of the 55 Google hits I got for "palletizing sheet", only ONE was actually referring to this kind of list; given what a common requirement this must be, it hardly seems to indicate widespread usage...

"pallet list"

A bit of Googling threw up this term, Julie, which gets a lot of hits. Now, even allowing for the fact that a v. large number of those are irrelevant red herrings, there are enough valid hits to make me think this is perhaps quite a commonly-used term. Here's just one hit where it appears to be being used in the same sort of way as your context:

Bindery instructions

In cases where multiple titles are on a pallet, please put a ‘pallet list’ on each pallet. detailing what titles and how many of each are on the pallet. ...

But of course, it depends whether this is a list of what is stacked on each individual pallet (the contents), or actually an overall list of several pallets shwoing what is on each of them... That's more what I would naturally understand by 'fiche de palettisation'
Note from asker:
thanks for your additional help on this

Thanks, Mark!
agree David Goward : Just as a "liste de colisage" is called a "packing list" even though the English term has no reference to "parcels", I'm pretty sure that this is simply the pallet equivalent. A distinction is made in French but not in English.

Thanks, David! That's the way I feel about it, too...

palletizing slip/sheet/form/chart

Palletizing slip seems more logical to me. But I am not sure which is used by people in that specific industry. I am basing myself on the "Dictionnaire general de la Technique industrielle by Brandstetter-Verlag.

palletizing sheet can be the best, seeing what Laurel suggested.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : avoid p. sheet, as that term is used for plastic sheeting used to actually pack pallets.

palletization sheet

I think this should do the trick (a sheet containing information on product palletization)

A client of mine uses this - but then I must admit they have some dodgy translation choices!
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : I thought of this literal translation too, but it only gets 9 Googles, all from the same source, so doesn't seem very widely-used...
