Correx MTM stacking boxes from Kaysersberg Plastics are helping users make significant savings in transport and storage costs.
Top frame innovation
Kaysersberg Plastics has introduced a new range of top frames that it claims is the modern way to unitise and stabilise pallet loads of empty cans, PET bottles and glass bottles.
The Combi-Pak comprises a custom sized, twin sheet, thermoformed base, a return collar, a twin sheet thermoformed lid and a one piece or multipart sleeve.
The base and lid can be fabricated with base dimensions up to 3100mm x 1200mm to suit almost every requirement, making the Combi-Pak an extremely versatile proposition.
All bases are reinforced with steel to provide the rigidity necessary for mechanical handling.
The units are self stacking and all have true 4-way entry for both forklifts and pallet trucks.
Sleeves can be supplied at any height to suit customer requirements and can be made of plastic, fibreboard or plywood, depending on stacking strength requirements.
The ability to tailor the size of Combi-Pak to the specific dimensions of the goods to be carried optimises the use of valuable space in storage, transit and in the assembly area itself.
The ingenious return collar enables the sleeve to be flat packed within the dimensions of the base and allows the lid to be then secured to the base, keeping all the components together in a single unit during empty storage and return transportation.
In short, Combi-Paks is said to provide true multi-trip, long life durability for those requiring, individually sized, returnable transit packaging solution for bulky items without the need for expensive bespoke tooling.
