Staying organized deeply affects the bottom line of manufacturers and shippers. Color-coded corrugated plastic containers are an easy and affordable method of organization that can be customized to your existing system or considered when designing new warehouse systems. Traditional molded plastic sheets are often too brittle or easily damaged and cannot withstand the wear and tear of shipping. Totes and boxes made of this material are highly stackable, especially when reinforced with steel, helping you get the most out of your warehouse space. Corrugated inserts can also help create a protective lining for fragile products during shipping or storage. This type of container can last for years and is recyclable once its lifespan is over.

Corrugated Plastic Dividers/Partitions:

Dividers and partitions fit existing or customized totes and boxes.

• Sheets can be die-cut for specific containers and applications.
• Dividers are lightweight, flexible, and strong enough to keep items in place during transit.

Corrugated Plastic Boxes and Totes:

These lightweight totes are a favorite of the US postal system, preferred for their durability and lightweight.

• Totes and boxes of various sizes and colors can optimize supply chains and storage.
• Many of these boxes fold flat to maximize space when not in use.
• They are also more stackable than cardboard, stronger, and more flexible than molded plastic.

Die-Cut Corrugated Plastic: 

Die-cut plastic allows protection and organization for unusually shaped and fragile objects.

• Multiple die-cut pieces can be assembled into one specific packaging solution or application.
• Rapidly prototype new packaging designs and test long-term solutions in your storage and conveyor systems.

How durable is corrugated plastic?

Very durable. These containers are weather-, UV-, and chemical-resistant and can be enhanced with specialized treatments to extend shelf life. Additionally, some corrugated plastic boxes can be fortified with steel to increase strength further and improve stackability. You can expect this container category to last at least five years or longer in ideal conditions.

What are the advantages of corrugated plastic?

It is lightweight and has an incredibly high durability-to-weight ratio. Additionally, it is long-lasting, highly customizable, and affordable.

Is corrugated plastic UV-resistant?

Yes, and it gains further resistance when coated with additional UV treatment.

When should I avoid using corrugated plastic?

While very durable, corrugated plastic is not ideal for storing loads over 30 lbs (although this rating can be increased with steel reinforcement). In addition, an outdoor application may not be the right setting for this material, as prolonged exposure to the elements can lead to a shorter life span.

Is corrugated plastic recyclable?

Yes, it is recyclable at most major recycling centers.

“Green”, “carbon-neutral”, and “sustainable” are all buzzwords drifting around the packaging industry. While implementing “green” packaging is a worthy goal, the reality behind sustainable packaging materials is complicated. To begin with, there is much confusion regarding sustainability in the packaging supply chain. Currently, popular marketing labels like “eco-friendly” and “sustainability” don’t have a firm definition.
