Bulk Produce Containers

Packers, processors, growers and business owners who frequently need to harvest and transport agricultural goods are faced with formidable challenges.

• Is there a preferred technique by which to store produce?
• What is the safest way to move produce from the field for storage or transport it over a long distance?
• Is it possible to move the crop from the field to a market inexpensively and without adverse effects on freshness?

Reusable plastic storage bins are largely manufactured from durable materials and are intended to serve a business for multiple trips from the field to its destination. This style produce bulk bin is manufactured to be reused more than once without signs of diminishing protective capacities. Plastic container reuse is also positive because it leads agricultural producers toward the type of sustainability that is encouraged by regulators. The plastic bins can, therefore, offer a reusable and low cost option answers all of the above questions.

There are still good reasons above and beyond potential cost savings to opt into reusable plastic produce boxes and bins from the team at Reusable Transport Packaging. The bins manufactured specifically to hold agricultural products help you offer more efficiently and effectively.

Food storage compliance:

The bulk produce storage bins from Reusable Transport Packaging are rigorously tested and designed with clients in mind who are on the hunt for sturdier containers suitable for food storage. Models are available that are capable of securely housing any and all types of agricultural products. Their FDA-approved high density polyethylene construction guarantees chemicals will not leach into goods or vice versa, no matter the length of time a product is stored in the container.

Bulk plastic produce bins also offer top-notch ventilation, keeping all container contents cool so they remain fresh and viable for sale longer.

Easy to use containers:

High density polyethylene produce bins are manufactured to facilitate speedy and simple movement from the field to your storage facility. The plastic bins are forty percent lighter than traditional wood, so moving them is a much simpler prospect. The containers make it possible for you to:

• Move smaller volumes by hand.
• Move larger volumes by forklift use.

Durable HDPE bins are also strong enough to be stacked one on top of another to improve their efficiency in transport and storage. Additionally, the produce bins are made safer because they:

• Do not splinter like wood.
• Do not contain nails or other dangerous hardware.

Long life in service:

Plastic produce bins differ from single-use corrugated cardboard containers or flexible plastic bags in that they infrequently rip or puncture. Fabricated from high density polyethylene (HDPE) foam, each container is manufactured to live up to rigorous demands. Container reuse results in cost savings over the time it spends in the supply chain versus the use of other more disposable options. The produce storage bins are far superior to traditional materials like wood when holding goods away from dirt, moisture and potential contaminants.

Physical abuse and impact resistance:

Transport of produce from point A to point B can be a contact sport, filled boxes are often:

• Dropped.
• Slammed.
• Skidded.
• Improperly stacked.

High quality polyethylene produce bins and containers are designed to withstand the abuse, thereby keeping all contents secure and minimizing:

• Spillage.
• Spoilage.
• Messes.

Harsh outdoor conditions:

In all aspects of agricultural production, the weather is a key concern. Tough plastic produce bins and boxes are ideal for use in harsh environments. Models are designed to handle:

• Blinding sun.
• UV exposure.
• Blistering summer heat.
• Bitter winter cold.

Versatility in the field:

As they are FDA approved and durable, polyethylene produce bins can serve more than one role. Plan to use them to store everything from oranges to road salt.

Clean containers quickly:

High density polyethylene (HDPE) produces containers that are quick and easy to clean.

Sustainability options:

The concept of sustainability is important to both agricultural producers and consumers alike. Plastic produce containers offer long life in service and are 100% recyclable. This means the containers are more environmentally friendly than other options available. The bins can be:

• Used repeatedly.
• Sold after initial use.
• Purchased at a discount from a prior owner.

Custom container options:

A problem with disposable agricultural bins is that they tend to be produced with a single-size-fits-all mentality, meaning that they are not the best choice for everyone. Reusable plastic produce boxes provide you an opportunity to choose a container that is well-suited for what you intend to haul or even design a container to execute the task at peak efficiency.

No matter if you need vented or solid sidewalls, HDPE plastic produce containers are customizable and flexible enough to be tailored to your individual requirements.

Choose a container that makes sense for you!

Disposable containers and cardboard boxes do have their place in the harvesting and transport of agricultural goods. However, in most instances, we do think you will find reusable HDPE produce boxes and bins offer a host of ways to improve efficiency and save you money!
