Plastic Pallets and Boxes in the Retail Supply Chain

The details that really make the difference are often the ones the consumer doesn’t see: for example in the supply chain. This is the process that gets the product from point of manufacture to store shelf, traditionally a fairly local affair moving goods from the local area into the shop.

Pallets and Boxes

These days it is rare to find locally manufactured products in your local store. Many everyday products travel great distances to the stores. The length and complexity of the supply chain has increased dramatically and as a consequence, so has the importance of the packaging; boxes, trays and pallets.

Trays

Bottle trays simplify handling for beverage bottlers as well as retailers. By placing bottles directly on pallets, with bottle trays between layers, you achieve a higher load capacity and a more attractive shop display. Handling procedures between bottlers and shops are more efficient, and staff no longer have to deal with bulky bottle crates.

Nestable

Trays can be used with multipacks and when empty are nestable, so take up very little space. In fact they save 80% space for return transport, and make a neat packaged unit of empty bottles in return. Old crates can then be reworked into new trays, so everybody, including the environment, benefits!

Pallets

Pallets work well with trays to form a complete returnable packaging system. As part of a resusable system, pallets and trays help you to make savings at every level. A plastic pallet solution in particular suits a growing number of applications and its popularity is spreading from country to country.
