Corrugated plastic boxes
Cellular polypropylene or corrugated plastic is a durable material for packaging of various sizes. It is resistant to impact, multiple chemicals (oils, acids, bases) and moisture. Corrugated plastic is lightweight, easy to maintain and long-lasting.
Alveolar plastic, as it’s sometimes called, acts as thermal and sound insulation due to its channel structure. Heat and sound transfer is slower compared to solid (full) boards.

Corrugated plastic stackable boxes A7131
Corrugated plastic stackable boxes are designed to store light products in long-lasting packaging that withstands moisture – stackable and low cost.
Dimensions are up to approx. 650x450x300 mm, limited by the resistance of the material.
Larger containers may be produced in plastic or aluminum h-frame boxes.
They can be delivered folded to reduce shipping costs, and the user assembles them in-house.

Transparent storage boxes A7261 and boxes with stacking corners
Transparent storage boxes are made of PET plastic and are helpful for quick identification of their contents.
Corner boxes can be used for storing low and medium-weight products.
The corner pieces are added to make the boxes stackable.
-
Boxes with corners and U frame
These containers are suitable for applications that require a slightly more resistant box.
This also allows for enhancing its dimensions beyond 600×400 mm.
Corner pieces enable stacking.
The ‘U’ frame stiffens the polypropylene walls to allow medium and heavy loads.
The boxes are maneuvered using open or closed handles.
Corrugated plastic boxes with ‘U’ frames and stacking corners are suited for intensive use.
-
Corrugated plastic foldable boxes
Corrugated plastic foldable boxes are ideal for storing and transporting large, atypical products.
Foldability reduces return costs, with an essential impact in long-term projects.
They can be folded with the help of special collapsible/ foldable corners or by folding the walls on the base of the box.
These boxes may come with handles for easy operation.
They can be used with fixed or foldable internal separators made of various materials as required by the products inside.
They are resistant to heavy-duty industrial use.
-
Continuous aluminum frame boxes type “h”
The h-frame improves the rigidity of the plastic boxes and allows safe stacking.
The corrugated plastic boxes with continuous aluminum h-frame are recommended for medium or heavy loads.
The aluminum piece also allows producing the box in large sizes.
-
Continuous plastic frame boxes
A plastic rim to reinforce the box is a low-cost and lightweight solution.
Quality plastic makes a sturdy solution to improve the basic corrugated plastic box.
If stacking is required, an ‘h’ profile rim with an outer safety edge is used.
The box may come with internal dividers.
It can be produced with two or four handles as needed.
-
FEFCO boxes
FEFCO is the standard of the European Federation of Cardboard Box Manufacturers.
It covers two key factors: cardboard boxes come as sheets and are stable when assembled.
Corrugated plastic FEFCO boxes are the version superior to cardboard boxes.
The advantage of this standard is that all boxes are delivered as sheets with markings that help users quickly assemble.
Usually, FEFCO boxes have integrated lids.
Both consumer goods producers and logistics companies use FEFCO boxes.
They can be easily stored in any open or closed space.
FEFCO alveolar plastic boxes produced by Logimarkt combine the design features of cardboard boxes and the durability of corrugated plastic:
- Higher impact resistance than cardboard boxes
- Resistance to moisture
- Enhanced durability allows their use for more demanding applications
- They can be reused for a long time
- Returnability reduces costs
- They look more attractive than cardboard: can be customized or produced in different colors, acting as a valuable marketing tool
- They can be used with separators or internal protection

Boxes made of cellular polypropylene (also known as Cartonplast, Alveoplast, Duraflex, Triplex, cellular or alveolar plastic) can be reused several times and are very lightweight. The plastic itself does not degrade quickly if handled correctly, making it suitable for long-term applications.
Cellular polypropylene is a 100% recyclable, washable material. The edges may be welded to prevent water from reaching the channels. Non-toxic, approved for food contact. In case of accidental combustion, it does not produce toxic gases. Its durable structure makes it suitable for use in most industries, from automotive or agriculture to distribution and retail.
They are common for light products with atypical shapes and sizes and are an excellent alternative to returnable or reusable packaging. Better and safer than cardboard for storage applications.
Alveolar plastic can have various colors, and the surface can be printed without degrading the material. Screen printing, flexo-printing, and hot stamping are all viable ways to turn this box into a reliable marketing tool.
It can also be made of ESD (conductive, dissipative) material or VCI to protect contents against rust.
Boxes can have the following options:
- Foldable
- Stackable
- Comply with a specific FEFCO code
- Plastic or aluminum reinforcing frames
- Added ‘U’ type frames and corners, or ‘h’ frames
- Custom-shaped internal separators
- Front access
- Non-woven anti-scratch material padding (Tyvek, Evolon, Royal Fabric, Softforce fabric)
- Technical foam protection (Eva foam, XLPE Foam, XPE, EPE Foam) for increased protection against scratches and vibrations
- Closed or open plastic handles
- Label holders
- Stacking brackets
- Attached or removable covers
- Ventilation holes
- Welded edges to prevent water from entering the plastic walls – vital if the boxes are washed
- ESD or VCI properties

Sheets - possible thicknesses and densities of corrugated plastic
The thickness and density of the material give the strength of corrugated plastic. The maximum standard thickness of a sheet is 11 mm, but multi-layered sheets can be produced on request.
