Stackable plastic containers

Boxes with atypical dimensions

Besides standard euro dimension boxes, we can also provide containers with atypical dimensions.

They are mainly used when the products do not fit standard boxes and when the standard sizes do not fit some particular type of transport, i.e., pallets designed for sea transport or railway shipments.

Main advantages:

• The internal space of the box is used efficiently, leaving less free space
• Higher efficiency and lower costs are achieved by optimizing space
• Reduced packing costs and less waste by eliminating the dunnage material required when the box is too big for the products
• Better-fitting packaging equals better protection for the goods
• For large quantities, they are cheaper than custom-made one-way packaging or other solutions made from plastic

The oversized boxes can be used with all the accessories available for the other dimensions: lids, internal dividers, label holders etc.

Heavy-duty EURO containers

The heavy-duty KLT boxes from injected plastic come in EURO standard dimensions and are preferred for applications with intense use of the packaging or for heavy loads.

The extra sturdiness comes from their own weight (they are usually a little heavier) and from the reinforcements on the walls, base, and lid area.

Even so, they are ergonomic and very easy to use, the euro base ensuring compatibility with dollies, trolleys, pallets, etc.

Their resistance increases their lifespan, so the costs of replacing the broken packaging are eliminated.

More than this, the heavy-duty containers and crates are safe for the operators but also for the goods stored inside, as there are no more accidents with cracked/ deformed/ curved crates, which might happen when improper packaging is used.

Depending on the application, they can be utilized with all the available accessories like covers, lids, label holders, internal separators, etc.

Standard EURO containers

The standard dimensions of the base for the Euro containers are 200×150 mm, 300×200 mm, 400×300 mm which can be considered ‘half sizes’, and 600×400 mm, 800×600 mm which are considered ‘full sizes’. Their heights may vary, depending on the model. The idea is for their base to fit when stacked, with 1200×800 mm euro pallets, or with 800×600 mm half pallets. For easier transport, they can be used with dollies or trolleys.

Having standard dimensions, the KLT boxes are very easy to use by the clients, as for most of the projects they do not need to take extra measurements or compatibility tests with the products. They suit with shelves, conveyor lines, racking, Kanban systems, etc., and they can be safely stacked even if they have different heights. Also, different bases can be mixed to fit on a larger base (smaller and bigger bases can be combined as long as the dimensions respect the euro standard). Among the mentioned benefits, Euro standard improves the workflow by eliminating some of the time-consuming procedures related to inventory, picking up for assembly lines, etc.

With closed or open handles, closed or ventilated bases or walls, they have, maybe, the largest area of use in terms of products or industries, especially if we take into consideration the available accessories, like internal dunnage, label holders, lids hinged or loose, etc.

For some sectors (like logistics) they are the ideal replacement for cardboard boxes which are disposable, and even if they cost less than one plastic euro tote, the overall costs are much higher, if we add the number of carton boxes used for a project and compare it to the number of uses for the plastic bins.

The color range is wide, and, depending on the quantity, they can be produced in personalized shades or colors.

Picking boxes with adjustable dividers

Picking boxes with adjustable dividers have a base of 600×400 mm and 3 different height versions: 220 mm, 270 mm and 320 mm.

They are designed to be compatible with warehouse automated systems, shuttle systems or conveyor lines. This range of boxes has external reinforcements and rounded edges to avoid clinging and bumping into each other on the curved conveyor and creating workflow problems.

They have a double base, which reduces the noise made by the boxes when they move on the conveyors. The smooth bottom ensures easy running on any conveyor system or gravitational rolls with small wheels.

These plastic crates contain an integrated partition wall system for a dynamic and secure fixing of internal separators (1/2, 1/8), which allows operators to create spaces demarcated inside the box for multiple orders. The operators can use longitudinal or transversal dividers installed quickly, according to necessities.

The total storage volume and the number of boxes are reduced by efficiently using internal space.

Picking boxes with adjustable dividers are lightweight but also very stable, well-balanced and sturdy. Available with open and closed handles.

Perforated base versions are also available. A recent international regulation states that in case of a fire, the boxes should allow water from sprinklers to flow through and reach the base of the stack to extinguish it. Previous models proved faulty in this sort of situation.

E-type Euro containers for meat industry

E1, E2, E3 and E6 crates are special boxes made of injected plastic, produced according to the German standards for the meat industry and GS1 standards.

They are produced from HDPE with food contact approval and have a standard own weight to allow a quicker weighing of the products on it.

The base is compatible with automated conveyor systems. The design of the E range bins allows quick cleaning and sanitizing with industrial washing machines. They have 4 ergonomic handles and perforations in the upper part for air circulation.

All 4 models are compatible with standard H1 pallets with dedicated central stoppers and a perimetral safety rim to prevent contents from slipping.

The standard color is red, but they can be produced in other colors, like blue, green, yellow or white – if a crate breaks, the bits of plastic are easier to identify in the reddish meat.

Plastic lids

Stackable container lids are produced from a material resistant to impact.

They protect the box’s content against external factors and are easy to clean.

The crate lids allow the stacking of the totes.

They can adapt to different dimensions of boxes, bins or containers.
