Think custom-design means expensive? Allow me to change your mind. In this post, I'll show you how expert crate design and a return program can add up to big savings. I'll even back it up with a real-life example of a returnable crate design that resulted in immediate payback for one manufacturer.  Customized clip crates are used to ship toilet prototypes between testing facilities.

If you're shopping for plastic pallet containers, you may be wondering if you really need a lid. I get asked that question all the time. Especially if we're talking about stacking the containers. The answer is (as you probably guessed) that it depends.  Lids are molded with an inset to allow stacking. Optional hinges and locks aid in loss prevention. OK, so you run a cold storage operation and the FDA has been in a time or two talking about the FSMA and other interesting subjects. So far you are in full compliance, but you thought it might not be a bad idea to look into switching to plastic pallets for your sub-freezing storage.  Any operation with consistent temperatures below 0°F should consider using true freezer grade pallets. Protecting rolled products from damage is one of the more challenging jobs for unit load material handling. If you work with heavy rolls of foil, film, paper, plastics or other high-value material, you know that damage during transport or storage can make the product unusable. That's a costly mistake no one wants to make.  This custom wooden roll pallet supports the entire length of cylindrically-shaped product. Air freight is the creme de la creme of all shipping methods and comes with a hefty price tag. But, can choosing the right pallet for air shipments really help "lighten the load"? Yes. Yes it can.  Lightweight and nestable plastic pallets save on air freight. Optional snap-on runners add secure stacking capabilities. Recycled wooden pallets or remanufactured? It's a question that comes up often. Before we get into which pallet is better for your packaging needs, let's sort out the definitions of recycled vs remanufactured.  A popular recycled pallet is the 48x40 GMA grocery style pallet. |
