Stackable-nestable plastic containers
Stack & nest containers are boxes made from high-quality injected plastic (HDPE, PE, PP, etc.) with smaller dimensions at the base and wider at the top.
They can have hinge-integrated or simple detachable lids.
They are mainly used in distribution, traditional picking zones, e-commerce, but also in fabrication, daily work or processing, assembly lines, warehouses, transport and logistic companies etc. Usually used in industries like automotive, food processing and distribution (goods with extreme temperatures), aerospace, electronics, pharma, house appliances, and others.
Stack & nest totes are robust and very stable in stacks due to the reinforcements in the lid and upper rim. This also ensures a long service life, reduced costs in the long run and thus, a return of the investment.
The reinforced walls increase load capacity, and prevent deformations under both interior and exterior pressure.
Stackable and nestable at the same time despite not having a lid. When nested, they save up to 75% of the total volume (4:1 nesting ratio), thus optimizing storage and return transport space and costs.
Due to their base configuration, they are compatible with conveyors. A great choice for automated lines.
- Standard crates double stackable by 180° rotation or 90°, without a lid
- Stackable and nestable boxes with lateral bale arms for stacking
- Stack & nest containers with detachable (one-piece lid) or attached/ hinged lid – ALC (2 pieces lid with closing on the length, simple or ‘crocodile’/ ’zip’ type)
Stackable and nestable bins can be completely closed or partially, if not fully ventilated.
The closed walls versions are usually best for heavy loads, small parts, applications where the products must be protected from dust, other external factors, or with small items that need to be contained (pharma, distribution, e-commerce, retail, picking, warehousing, storage, others).
The versions with perforated base and/or walls are suited for applications where the products are sensitive to moisture and need constant air circulation, e.g., agriculture, horticulture, processed food distribution like bakery, dairy, meat etc.
Simple nestable boxes become double stackable using lids: they can be stored one inside another when empty and one on top of the other when the lid is on.
The tote stack & nest boxes can have specially designed spaces for labels or barcodes (easy, quick, and correct identification of the content), can be locked and secured with seals or straps for extra safety, can be imprinted with a logo or other imprints as required, they can be used with trolleys or dollies for easy transport in case of heavier loads or stacks.
They are high-quality, carefully designed products. The smooth finished edges and ergonomic handles make them easy to use and safe for the operators handling them.
Nestable and stackable plastic bins are resistant to oils and other chemicals and can be easily washed, cleaned or sanitized for food contact or regular applications.
All boxes in this category are fully recyclable at the end of their service life. This reduces waste and costs and offers a much better experience compared to one-way packaging.
