Foldable Bulk Containers in

Distribution and Logistics


Distribution and Logistics is about getting products from point A to point B


Unfortunately, for those using expendable cardboard packaging, getting products from point A to point B generates waste: handlers must dispose of the packaging upon receipt of the product. In other words, expendable packaging creates an open-loop supply chain where a portion of the material used in the initial shipment must be discarded. 

That produces both financial and environmental costs.

Folding bulk containers, built for reusability and return efficiency, can directly ‘close the loop’ on your supply chain. Ship your product from point A to point B in bulk containers; unload the product at point B; collapse and return the containers to point A; and repeat.


No waste, no repeat purchases


In Distribution and Logistics, the applications are generally lightweight compared to industries like automotive and appliance manufacturing, for which folding bulk containers were originally designed. That means users can opt for lighter-duty containers with higher return ratios, or the number of empty containers that can be collapsed and shipped back to the origin. 


A reusable sleeve pack, commonly used in lightweight applications, can collapse at a 6:1 rate for return. If it takes six trucks to get your product from point A to point B, you can return the packaging to point A with just one truck. Seems more efficient than putting six truckloads of expendable packaging in the landfill.


And if your application requires extra weight capacity, our standard foldable bulk container is no slouch with a 3:1 return ratio. 3 trucks of open containers, when unloaded, can be shipped back in just one truck.

 

Close the Loop



 As the financial and environmental costs of expendable packaging rise, RPP is ready to close the loop on your supply chain with best-in-class reusable packaging.

Foldable Bulk Containers for Distribution and Logistics

DuraGreen Cardboard Pallet Pack

Cardboard Pallet Packs

Cardboard pallet pack containers (also known as Sleeve Pack Containers) are the most popular choice across Distribution and Logistics. Able to hold thousands of pounds per load, a pallet pack container's strength-to-weight ratio is tough to beat. Its lightweight material, combined with a 6:1 return ratio, makes it easy to handle and store, saving you money and space in shipping and storage. 


Plastic Pallet Pack Containers

Plastic Pallet Packs

The plastic pallet pack is the all-weather version of its cardboard predecessor. Durable triple-layer polyethylene makes the plastic sleeve exceptionally strong in every direction and resistant to the tearing, impact, and compression other sleeve packs face. Sealed edges allow the sleeve pack to be washed and stored outdoors without any wear and tear to the container.
