The idea
The expendable crates are based on the reusable model and made to measure to meet your needs. However, they do not have the strength and durability required of our returnable version. All components can be recycled and, to save costs, the clips can be returned for reuse.
Design
As with our reusable packaging, we fulfil your requirements and needs in the supply chain; our aim is to optimise your packaging. Our engineers will work closely with you to meet your needs for safe and rational packaging. By the help of our 3D design technology we design the box and dunnage to be cost-effective and to transport your items safely through the supply chain.
The right choice or not?
By tradition, many companies use one-way boxes. But is that the right choice? When you pack the same products time and again, reusable boxes are often the most cost-effective ones. Not only do you optimise the flow in the supply chain; you also reduce your costs and your company´s adverse impact on the environment. Furthermore, you will obtain better security and stronger reusable packaging. This will ensure that your goods are not damaged during transport.
Dunnage
No matter whether you choose a reusable, patented container, a 2P box or an expendable crate, the dunnage is important to ensure cost-effective packaging with maximum protection and stabilisation of your products through the supply chain. We constantly develop 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 the 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 are able to 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 design a reusable box and dunnage that will transport 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 be sure 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 Expendable boxes are made of OSB (Orientated Strand Board), chipboard, plywood or combinations of these materials. The spring steel clips are strong and flexible and easy to fit or remove.
• Original strong spring steel clips, 35 or 50 mm wide
• Presswood, plywood or OSB material in 12 – 36 mm, FSC or PEFC certified
Disposal
When the box is used for one-way transport, all components can be recycled. The original spring steel clips can easily be returned for reuse.
Analysis
To ensure that our box fulfils your exact requirements, we will work with you to establish your specific packaging and transport needs. We will consider all possible issues and new opportunities to deliver a successful and integrated packaging solution. We are fully focused on the purpose of the box, its cost-effectiveness, and on easy handling in the supply chain.
Prototype
Once we have established your packaging needs, our dedicated engineers will design a fully integrated packaging solution that will meet all your requirements of a sustainable and cost-effective reusable packaging system. By the help of our advanced 3D design technology we are able to swiftly provide you with a prototype which can be tested for your approval.
Implementation and management
Not only do you have to satisfy your own demands for safe and cost-effective packaging; you also have to make sure that your customers feel confident about the solution. Our worldwide customer service is prepared to handle any request. We know from our many years of experience that the whole supply chain is satisfied with the Clip-Lok reusable packaging system.
