Stackable containers

Stackable plastic boxes are suitable for the distribution of goods in a variety of industries and offer many opportunities for efficient materials handling. The multitude of sizes and designs of the plastic box means they can be tailored to the flow of goods in most situations.

Made from food industry approved, injection moulded polyethylene, they are ideal for storing and transporting food products. This also makes them resistant to most chemicals and solvents, rust, corrosion and bending out of shape. They are also popular within the automotive industry.

The containers are available with a flat or reinforced base, and are available with either perforated or solid sides or bases. The plastic boxes have smooth internal surfaces and rounded corners for ease of cleaning.

The design of the boxes, and given that are made from plastic, provide stability in transport, while the straight sides and modular sizes simplify stacking and storage. Stackable plastic boxes achieve maximum capacity utilisation when stacked for distribution. They can be stacked up to ten boxes high.

They also achieve minimum volume when nested for return shipment or storage.
The lids can be folded and placed in the boxes, which can then be nested in each other, for cost effective storage and distribution. When folded, the boxes save up 70% less space.

Conveyor performance and safety is enhanced by the containers’ lightweight yet robust construction. A handgrip design makes for easy and comfortable manual handling, and label holders or code strips enable automatic routing and own branding. The plastic boxes are able to withstand temperatures from –30°C to + 100°C and have a capacity of 18 to 87 litres.

Stackable plastic boxes provide maximum economy and efficiency. They boast a long life and reusability. What’s more, they offer considerable cost savings over alternative products. Small, versatile and easy to handle, they are the perfect solution for automated handling systems.
