There are many options for containers: type, size, color, and shape to name a few. These containers usually “cube” out of a truck, meaning the container will stack inside the truck with minimal wasted space. You don’t want to ship air inside of the truck, especially in a returnable system because that space can add up to dollars over the life of a product. Containers can be broken into 5 major groups: Bulk Boxes, Hand Totes, Sleeve Packs, Boxes, and Steel Racks. Some containers can be customized to suit your needs, while others only come in standard sizes. For now, we will touch on the most used containers. Be sure to check out past blogs that go into more detail about each type of container.
