Orbis Corp. has released the new heavy-duty 1,000 x 1,200-mm BulkPak, a plastic collapsible bulk container that is said to reduce return transportation costs and increase warehouse space savings. Orbis says that the new BulkPak offers the highest unit-load capacity for industrial applications so customers use less shipping materials to ship more of their goods. Developed using the standard European footprint, it is said to be the first heavy-duty solution in the industry.

The heavy-duty BulkPak 1,000 x 1,200 series is designed to support rugged applications, and holds up to 900 kg. The reusable containers are made of high-density polyethylene to assure long-life performance under harsh conditions and provide product protection. This new offering in the BulkPak line is available in four heights, and is recommended for transporting automotive components, bearings, hardware, industrial equipment and metal, plastics and rubber parts, resin/powder, and tools.

During storage and shipping, the bins stack securely with each other and offer large, easy-to-open optional doors for interior access. Door configurations include zero, one, or two doors on the 1,200-mm side. The plastic containers are fully recyclable at the end of their service life, and provide an environmental alternative to single-use boxes, metal racks, or gaylords. The all-plastic container cannot harbor pests, mold, or fungus. There are multiple identification options available, including cardholders, identification plates, and label placards.
