Where to Buy Euro Containers?
19 May 2014
Reusable and well-designed containers and boxes are a vital method to reduce problems with packaging and storage for many industries, as well as cutting material-handling costs.
These containers and boxes are sturdy and stable and offer the best protection for goods both in transit and in storage.
Range of Available Sizes
Euro containers and Euro boxes are available in standard sizes that enable efficient stacking when carrying goods or when in storage. The popular sizes in external dimensions are:
- 40 x 30 x 17 cm with a capacity of 30 litres
- 40 x 30 x 22 cm with a capacity of 25 litres
- 40 x 30 x 32.5 with a capacity of 30 litres
- 60 x 40 x 12 cm with a capacity of 20 litres
- 60 x 40 x 17 cm with a capacity of 30 litres
- 60 x 40 x 22 cm with a capacity of 45 litres
Weather Resistant
The containers and boxes should be able to stand outdoors for long periods of time without degrading in sunlight or in water. When combined with pallet collars and pallet wraps, Euro containers by Plastic Pallets can help keep produce safe from the elements without the worry of contamination.
Additionally, Plastic Euro containers can be reused repeatedly, making them extremely cost effective. Because they don’t absorb moisture like their wooden counterparts, they make a popular choice for companies transporting or storing hygienically sensitive products such as medicine and food.
Heavy-duty polypropylene is suitable for most industries and applications and offers just such a barrier against moisture and water vapour; bacterial growth; oils, greases and hydrocarbons; alcohols, esters and ketones; air and gas such as oxygen and carbon dioxide; sunlight and ultra-violet radiation; aromas and volatile compounds; edible oils and fats; acids and alkalis; solvents; high and low temperature extremes — polypropylene performs well in the temperature range of -20 to +100 degrees C.
Versatile & Robust
The containers and boxes are an ideal transport and storage solution for the food industry. Some of the containers have ventilated as well as solid sides. They are lightweight while remaining robust and retaining their shape.
They are designed with ergonomic hand grips to ensure effective handling manually and optimal handling in transit and storage. The vertical sides ensure the maximum volume of the container is usable.
The design with vertical ribs also allows for compact stacking and inter-stacking of different-sized containers into a stable load and is ideal for palletisation. The range of sizes will fit most standard racking and shelving systems.
Safety is a priority in the design of the containers and boxes. They have reinforced corners to enable safe transport of heavy loads and use fork lift trucks and various automatic handling systems. Additionally, because they don’t have any nails or glue and are made from a singular piece, their strength is evenly distributed for a reduced chance of buckling or failure points.
The smooth bases of the boxes and containers ensure they will move silently on conveyor systems, making them much easier to transport together without causing unnecessary disturbances.
All of the boxers and containers may be further customised with divider sets and hinged or folding lids. The available default colour is silver grey, although other colours such as red, yellow and green are available.
