These are not photographs of PLI Sorting

Every photograph on this site is licensed stock. None of them shows a PLI Sorting facility, a PLI employee or a customer’s plant, and nobody pictured works for PLI. They stand in for the work until PLI’s own photography is available.

Most have been cropped, resized or colour-adjusted to fit the layout. Those changes are this site’s, not the photographer’s, and where a licence requires it they are listed against the individual image below.
