Plastic pallet boxes
Plastic pallet boxes are easy-handling packaging with rigid walls recommended for heavy products, large items or bulk loads. They are incredibly robust and can be used for various applications, from storage to production and transport, in industries like agriculture, pharma, automotive, food, recycling, commerce, farming, warehousing etc.
Several industries require products made from virgin material, e.g., pharma, bulk food products and some automotive projects. However, most applications may be covered by using high-quality recycled, injected plastic. This makes them environmentally friendly by reducing the total carbon footprint and waste. Therefore, this is the most sustainable and cost-efficient way to solve long-term logistic needs.
Due to their generous interior volume, pallet boxes are recommended for various applications, from light loads to heavy-duty. They are produced from high-quality injected plastic, resistant to scratches and impact, and can be used from deep-freeze temperatures to extreme heat (UV resistant).
The main advantage of rigid plastic stackable pallet boxes is the impressive own-weight-to-load-capacity ratio. Weight may equal cost. Hygiene and compatibility with automatic production and handling systems are also key features.
Their long service life equals lower investments in packaging and improved productivity.
Even if the pallet boxes made of injected plastic are large in volume, they can be safely stored in high stacks, using vertical space efficiently. Their high-quality material also qualifies them for outdoor storage in all seasons.
The doubled walls and the reinforcements guarantee resistance to heavy traffic and handling. Pallet boxes can be safely placed in high stacks or heavy load stacks with no risks of damage to the packaging or its content.
These boxes allow large quantities of products to be moved at once, significantly improving workflow and maneuvering time.
The basic stackable big container has 4 legs and these advantageous features:
- Compact base and walls
- Optional – ventilated base and walls
- Optional – compact base and ventilated walls
- It may come in ISO, EURO or custom base dimensions and various heights
- It may have a smooth or reinforced base
They are easy to clean and sanitize in industrial washing machines. Smooth surfaces allow proper cleaning and easy visual evaluation.
The rigid pallet boxes with perforated walls are mainly used in agriculture to prevent humidity and mould from forming. They resist refrigeration areas with no difficulty.
The injected plastic big boxes can be produced with different accessories:
- Skids/ crossbeams/ runners – for pallet racking, better maneuvering with forklifts, superior sturdiness in stacks and under heavy loads (especially for unequal load distribution)
- Wheels (with or without brakes) – suitable for heavy loads that need to be moved by operators in small/ narrow areas or long distances. Essential when automated transport equipment is scarce or not available
- Lateral access doors – can be used when boxes are stacked and the top is not accessible
- Water drainage holes, draining valves, and outlet faucets – for better drying after a wash and to drain liquids that accumulate occasionally/accidentally. Undoubtedly, the most common scenario is when containers carry fluids that need to be totally or partially unloaded
- Labelling areas – for precise and quick identification, helpful especially when the box containers are sealed with lids or straps and when placed in stacks and the content is not accessible
- Label holders – labels can be quickly changed, and the containers can be used for different applications
- Can be imprinted (serigraphy, hot stamping) with logos or other markings
- Unloading flaps for bulk goods, placed either on one of the walls or the base of the box containers – useful for quick and easy unloading
- Lids and covers – protect the stored goods against external factors, and enhance the stability in a stack, although boxes are stackable without them
- Hinges and safety systems attach the lid to the container and ensure the security of the packed products. Hinged lids are also easier to use and harder to lose
