Dunnage
No matter whether you choose a reusable patented box, a 2P box or an expendable box, the dunnage is important to ensure cost-effective packaging with maximum protection and stabilisation of your products through the supply chain. We are constantly developing creative additions to our range of designs and materials, and we construct our customised dunnage from a wide range of materials. By choosing well-designed dunnage which protects your items, you also optimise space usage.
Pack more efficiently
By optimising packaging you save space, handling and logistics costs all the way through the supply chain. We know from experience that our customers can pack more efficiently if the dunnage is well designed and meets their demands and specifications. Our engineers will work closely with you to fulfil your needs for safe and rational packaging. By the help of our 3D design technology we will design the reusable box and dunnage so it transports your products safely through the supply chain.
Safe & secure
Heavy or delicate products that can be scratched or break need to be securely packed to ensure safe delivery. We offer you dunnage based on your requirements. For you to feel confident that our boxes meet your exacting requirements, we can assist in setting up performance testing such as weather-resistance, vibration, drop and pressure tests, etc.
Materials
Clip-Lok uses various kinds of materials and finishes in order to meet your demands. Our 2P boxes are usually made of high quality plywood, which is strong and flexible. The original spring steel clips are equally strong and flexible and also easy to fit or remove.
- Highest quality spring steel clips, 35 or 50 mm wide
- Plywood in 9 – 36 mm, FSC or PEFC certified
- Plywood with film finish in 9 – 36 mm, FSC or PEFC certified
Which provide:
- Smooth and clean surface
- Low moisture absorption
- Strength and flexibility
Flat packed
Once unpacked, the 2P boxes can be collapsed and stored flat. All components of a collapsed 2P Clip-Lok box are held in one unit. All panels on the 2P box are hinged and mounted on the base with spring steel clips. The height of a collapsed 2P box, including a pallet, is 250-300 mm depending on specifications.
The compact size reduces the space needed and allows more boxes to be returned in a single shipment, thus cutting back logistics costs. In storage the collapsible boxes take up a minimum of space.
Pallets
Whether you need a two- or four-way pallet, Clip-Lok designs pallets to match your needs. The pallet bases are produced in plywood as they are an integrated part of the box.
Quality
To ensure the quality of the reusable collapsible boxes, we constantly test our boxes to fulfil our customers´ requirements. Clip-Lok reusable boxes are of a high quality; they are immensely strong and stable. The returnable boxes and original spring steel clips have been tested exhaustively by official test institutes around the world. They have always met the most stringent of standards.

To ensure your products´ safe transport through the supply chain, the returnable Clip-Lok boxes have been tested successfully for:
- Pressure up to15 tonnes for a 12mm case
- Containing up to 1,000 litres
- Stacking up to ten high when loaded
