Foldable returnable plastic containers

Schoeller Arca Systems, Europe's leading returnable packaging manufacturer, has developed a range of plastic containers that fold down when empty, saving 70% of storage space

This makes them highly efficient to transport and store, leading to significant cost savings.

Schoeller Arca Systems' foldable containers are light, yet strong and durable, and used in industries such as agriculture, retail and food processing.

Made from plastic and environmentally friendly, they are reusable, returnable and recyclable.

The containers have smooth edges and surfaces, preventing soiling and reducing bug traps.

Plastic is easy to clean, does not rust and resists moisture, fat, and some acids, solvents and chemicals.

This makes it a safe, hygienic packaging material.

Foldable plastic containers are easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces.

Stackable, they are ideal for use with dollies, conveyors and other automated equipment.

Schoeller Arca Systems produces a range of foldable containers, something to suit every application.

Various sizes are available, from large 1200 x 1000 x 1200mm crates to smaller, 400 x 300 x 170mm boxes.

Depending on the volume of the order, a range of colours is available to enable quick container identification.

A popular model is the compact, 81 litre PreLog.

A collapsible, light bulk container, it packs four to a pallet and folds easily when empty.

Designed specifically for long journeys, it is the Schoeller Arca Systems response to specific customer demands.

Russell Smith, Business Sector Manager at Schoeller Arca Systems, commented: "Wasted vehicle space on return journeys costs companies thousands of pounds each year.

Foldable plastic containers reduce these costs and provide an efficient means of transportation.

Plastic as a packaging material is highly advantageous and can help simplify and improve logistics processes".
