The Craemer pallet that made film history:

Some of the most influential science fiction films were created in the 1970s and 1980s. Before the advent of CGI and StageCraft, set designers had to create entire futuristic worlds on a limited budget, often repurposing items originally designed for other uses.

Consequently, everyday objects and industrial products became iconic props and set components. For example, slide viewers and power drills were transformed into motion trackers, while camera flash handles became lightsabers. Plastic pallets also served as floors, walls, and ceilings inside spaceships.

This is how an early Craemer plastic pallet found its way onto the big screen. It became part of the set design in film classics such as Star Wars Episodes IV–VI, Alien, Aliens, Saturn 3 and Outland. Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford walked across Craemer pallets in the Millennium Falcon, just as Sigourney Weaver and Ian Holm did in the Nostromo.

The pallet also left its mark on television. In science fiction series such as Doctor Who, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Red Dwarf, Craemer pallets have been immortalised as 'supporting actors'.
