Benefits of Reusable Crates
Sustainability
Crates are reused every 9 days and complete up to 30 cycles per year.
Crates are are also shared across the industry which crates economies of scale and reduced costs for all parties
Protection
Crates are sturdy, capable of holding up to 35kg without harming their contents.
Even in a refrigerated setting, if it gets wet, the crate maintains its structural integrity.
Reduced Cost
Standardization in incoming packaging has results in various advantages for retail supply chains.
These include improved truck fill, lower handling costs, decreased product damage, and other benefits that ultimately have a positive impact on the bottom line.
Hygiene
Each crate is washed through a standardised process that ensures every crate is sanitized and clear before use.
This gives piece of mind to all users and avoids the risk of contamination.
One Touch
Crates are packed and processed at the producer level before moving through the supply chain to reach the retail shelf for direct merchandising.
This streamlined process ensures that the product is first handled by the consumer after being packed at the farm.
