tiles
This REALLY depends on the material in question! Since all materials have been plastics so far, I would guess we're talking linoleum flooring or wall to wall carpet, both which can be laid in tiles or rolled out in sheets.

sheet carpet
Ohne viel Kontext würde ich das jetzt so verstehen: also Teppich als Plattenware? - Etwas mehr Kontext wäre hier hilfreich.

Goods by the pallet
This is also just a suggestion with the limited context

: I'm sorry, but this is most likely wrong. Its not about how it will be delivered, but in which form it will be laid.

I googled "Plattenware ohne Träger" and found
DIN 16951 PVC-Beläge ohne Träger
The title in English is: Floor coverings; polyvinyl chloride (PVC) flooring without backing, requirements, test methods
....thus, "Lay covering as sheets, without backing" is how I understand this. Without further context, cannot say that this is in fact carpet - I would think it is PVC.
