NEW 40x48 P3 pallet
The 40-inch-by-48-inch P3 pallet is a durable, lightweight, stackable hygienic packaging solution that integrates seamlessly with manual and automatic material handling equipment. Designed with a low-profile 5.1” height, the P3 pallet optimizes truckload space and can be double-stacked in racking systems to maximize space. Optional steel reinforcements and grommets provide strength and improved stability to reduce load shifting and product damage. The plastic flow-through design reduces contaminated spaces and allows for easy cleaning. Plus, with a longer lifespan than wood, the P3 pallet provides unmatched sustainable advantages.

NEW XpressBulk® retail-ready merchandising trays
The XpressBulk retail-ready merchandising trays offer a sustainable, efficient replacement for the manual shelf replenishment process by allowing for a fast and easy transfer of product from the truck directly to the store floor. Engineered to simplify distribution and improve labor efficiency in a wide variety of applications, this packaging solution allows for seamless transport off the truck and right into the retail store. A sustainable replacement for cardboard boxed products in the supply chain, XpressBulk retail-ready merchandising trays help companies reduce their environmental footprint while improving their product handling.


NEW AROS® container for automated storage

Custom, collapsible metal racks
Custom, collapsible racks combine the durability of steel with the flexibility of collapsing when parts have been unloaded. The collapsibility of these racks efficiently saves two to three times the space when empty, reducing the cost on return freights. Customized to different sizes and shapes and combined with different ORBIShield dunnage solutions, these metal racks are designed to meet the unique material handling and part shipment requirements of industrial, automotive and retail supply chains.

StakPak Plus® container
The StakPak Plus container adds various collar sizes to increase a container’s height to accommodate unique-shaped parts commonly found in the electric vehicle supply chain. These containers take all the best attributes of the traditional StakPak container, including reusability and cost savings, and combine them with customized heights to increase container capacity. In addition, all StakPak Plus totes are fully compatible with existing totes in the industry. Other products for the industrial supply chain also will be on hand, including the custom metal racks, the BulkPak® HDMP 4845 series and ESD-safe totes.
