Jeg tror det er snakk om paller som frakter tørr last som ikke er pakket i enheter.

Nei, dette ble feil i din kontekst. Det er vel heller snakk om en slags plate som tekstilene tres over før trykkeprosessen. Platen må ha en tørr overflate for at tekstilene ikke skal skli (se under). Så korrekt oversettelse blir nok bare "tørr plate".


Existing equipment for silk screen printing on wool or cotton textile cloths like sweat shirts or T shirts are called panel printers, because the shirt is slipped over a panel (also called a platen or pallet) to hold it and a silk screen box is lowered onto the pallet and operated to print a pattern in one color on the shirt.
...
The ink can be allowed to air dry before removing the shirt from the pallet and mounting another shirt for printing.
...
Clearly there is a present need to provide a clean dry surface that will hold the fabric securely as needed (as described above) on the pallet and yet allow for release when the print process is complete. Adhesives and tacky films are not desired, because they have to be renewed so frequently, even during the printing of a single shirt.
