Why Choose Collapsible Bulk Containers?

From Star Wars action figures to automobile components, the collapsible plastic bulk containers from our Reusable Transport Packaging team are the perfect packaging solution for providing top-notch protection. Plastic collapsible bulk containers work for shipping goods from point A to point B and ultimately offer a safe home for contents in a warehouse or retail setting.
Collapsible plastic containers from Reusable Transport Packaging are manufactured with a built-in forklift base to make them easy to move with a forklift, pallet jack or hand truck. These reusable plastic containers are designed with ergonomics in mind, from smooth corners to a back-saving drop door that allows easy access to contents and set-up/clean-up that takes about ten seconds!
Collapsible bulk containers from Reusable Transport Packaging are often used for storage and protection of:

  • Food.
  • Materials.
  • Appliances.
  • Work in process.
  • Consumer electronics.
  • Automobile components and parts.
  • Aerospace products and components.

All collapsible containers are designed to help you achieve optimized space savings when used in a closed-loop or a returnable bulk container manufacturing operation. Collapsible containers typically stand two to four bins tall in a trailer and, when they are collapsed, they can be shipped three to eight units high in a single trailer. This illustrates cube utilization at its finest, and our plastic containers are the key to making to most out of your allotted space in a trailer.

Collapsible bulk containers from SustainableTransport Packaging are produced from high density polyethylene (corrugated plastics). HDPE is a thermoplastic manufactured from petroleum.

The HDPE used in collapsible plastic containers is injection molded using a blowing engine or high pressure gas to develop a durable structural foam. Manufacturing processes used make collapsible bulk containers made injection molded high density polyethylene durable and long-lasting. This process results in reusable shipping solutions with:

  • A consistent surface finish.
  • Guaranteed resistance to impact.
  • An impermeability to rain and snow.

High density polyethylene also ensures a collapsible bulk container is fully recyclable and returnable for improved cost effectiveness.
Being manufactured from high density polyethylene provides bulk collapsible containers with a load capacity of up to 2,500 lb. in many circumstances. Advantages, beyond total load capacity, to using plastic collapsible containers include:

  • Reusable plastic bulk containers are durable.
  • Collapsible plastic containers are often aesthetically pleasing.
  • Reusable collapsible plastic containers are suitable for outdoor use.
  • Reusable bulk containers minimize waste produced by your business.
  • Plastic bulk containers optimize storage space used in a warehouse setting.
  • Collapsible bulk containers improve productivity in work in process situations.
  • Point A to point B shipping expenses are reduced when using collapsible bulk containers.
  • Bulk containers can be reused thousands of times in a manufacturing facility or a supply chain.
  • Plastic containers are less expensive than purchasing cardboard or wood shipping solutions daily.
  • Independently collapsible sidewalls allow for improved bulk container maneuverability and assembly.
  • Durable polyethylene bulk containers result in improved material handling efficiencies and cost control by limiting lost time in a warehouse setting, less damage to collapsible container contents and fewer worker injuries.
