Collapsible Plastic Box Pallets

 

The plastic box pallet is an alternative to traditional storage devices that optimises how products, items, and records can be kept safe and secure while saving valuable space when they’re not in use. They come in closed-wall and perforated varieties. The boxes are typically purchased in mass quantities (150 or more) by industrial clients, although they’re also commonly seen in retail shops and domestic spaces.

Plastic box pallets are made of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a recyclable plastic. This gives the crates immense strength for their small size. It also makes them more durable to wear and tear over alternatives such as paper and cardboard. The plastic box assembles upwards from a flat base, forming a cuboid space by locking moulded joints together. It can be filled with an enormous variety of items. When empty, the box can be closed down to reduce it to a fraction of its normal footprint, saving storage space. Ridges and interlocking feet can be added to the design to turn boxes into a stackable mass unit when in use.

So, what advantages do businesses gain by using collapsible plastic pallets?

1) Saving Space

Using ‘Smartboxes' increases 'free' space for storage by 54% to 66% for each unit. In a large warehouse, this makes a big difference in storage capacity. A relatively small investment can translate into huge savings in floor space.

2) Box Durability & Safety

HDPE plastic boxes are strong and highly resistant to the elements, spills, breakages, and can also be made airtight to add another layer of protection to their contents. Their strength allows for some vertical storage with less shelving, too.

3) Reusability

Plastic pallets can be emptied and reused immediately, without the need for recycling or new purchases. Their long lifespan makes them more cost-effective than cheap, disposable solutions.

4) Improved Efficiency

Plastic boxes are easy to set up, use, handle, carry, and store. No sophisticated training or instructions are needed to get your employees up and running with simple plastic folding storage.

5) Adaptability

As long as it's dry storage you're looking at, you can fit almost any small to medium item into a plastic box. Their sheer adaptability means that boxes can be reused and repurposed between tasks and departments to suit different needs.
