Plastic classification description
Plastic packaging containers (such as plastic pallet boxes, plastic Euro containers, and card-board boxes) offer core advantages in logistics packaging and transportation, including high durability, broad compatibility, and ease of cleaning and maintenance. They meet diverse circulation requirements across multiple scenarios while balancing cost efficiency and environmental sustainability, making them an efficient solution for modern logistics.
1. Durable and robust, reducing replacement costs
The material is highly durable and impact-resistant, capable of withstanding bumps, compression, and collisions during transportation and forklift operations. It is less prone to damage compared to cardboard boxes and more resistant to moisture and corrosion than wooden containers, with a service life of 5 to 10 years.
Performs stably in both low and high temperature environments (some specialty plastics can withstand -40°C to 80°C), making it suitable for special applications such as cold chain logistics and outdoor storage, reducing equipment damage caused by environmental factors.
2. High standardization, suitable for full-chain flow adaptation
Plastic Euro containers, carton boxes, and similar items generally adhere to international standard dimensions (e.g., 1200×800 mm, 1200×1000 mm), enabling seamless compatibility with logistics equipment such as forklifts, pallets, racking systems, and AGV carts—allowing efficient movement across warehouses, workshops, and transport vehicles without requiring additional adjustments.
They offer excellent stacking performance, supporting stable stacking of 3–5 layers when fully loaded; empty containers can be nested or folded (depending on the model), significantly saving storage and return transportation space while enhancing per-trip capacity.
3. Easy to clean and maintain, meeting high hygiene requirements
Plastic surfaces are smooth and seamless, making them resistant to dust, stains, or microbial buildup. They can be directly rinsed, wiped down, or even disinfected with cleaning agents, meeting the stringent hygiene standards required in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.
Unlike wooden pallets, they require no regular anti-corrosion treatment, and there is no risk of insect infestation or mold growth. Maintenance costs are low, and the risk of cargo contamination due to inadequate cleaning is significantly reduced.
4. Eco-friendly and recyclable, aligning with green logistics
High-quality plastic containers are 100% recyclable and can be reprocessed into new containers or other plastic products at end-of-life, reducing solid waste generation and meeting corporate environmental compliance requirements.
They can be reused multiple times—on average, 20 to 30 times more than cardboard boxes—making them a viable replacement for single-use packaging. Over time, this significantly lowers packaging procurement costs while reducing resource consumption.
