Q&A Session: Choosing Returnable Plastic Packaging

Posted on

The Logistic Packaging team is always focused on understanding our clients’ needs. And we know that a big part of excellent client service is helping buyers and purchasing managers understand why we recommend a certain type of returnable plastic packaging materials.

In this Q&A session, we decided to answer to some of the most frequently asked questions we get from potential clients during the initial discussions. We believe that an informed client will always make the best choices for their company and build a solid partnership with us as trusted packaging providers.

Q: Why should our company switch to returnable plastic packaging materials?

A: In the context of trying to stay competitive by reducing operational costs and product write-offs, reusable plastic packages play an important role. One plastic pallet or plastic container replaces dozens of traditional wooden pallets of crates.

Their long life and ease of washing and cleaning translates into reduced costs with purchasing packaging materials. Also, the sturdy build of reusable plastic containers and pallets ensures that your products will arrive in good condition at the destination, even after a rough journey.

Q: We looked in your catalog and none of the product dimensions fit our needs. How can we use them?

A: Our catalog contains products with standard EURO and ISO footprints – the most commonly used bases in logistics worldwide. However, we understand that some clients need atypically sized packages.

This is why we have included non-EURO stackable containers and non-EURO nestable boxes in our standard catalog. These ranges include the most in-demand atypical footprints, including:

  • 400 x 345 mm
  • 505 x 260 mm
  • 550 x 380 mm
  • 600 x 200 mm
  • 600 x 500 mm.

If these products are still not a good fit for your needs, we can create customized cut & weld containers according to your size specifications. These packages are made by joining together two containers, cut to size and welded using a special process. The finished product will have the same strength and loading capacity as a container produced through the usual injection process.

Q: We were told we could work with a pooling company. Why should we purchase returnable plastic packaging?

A: Pooling or renting returnable packaging materials is recommended only if you need these products infrequently and in a small quantity. However, if your company is packing, storing and shipping goods on a daily basis, then you should own your packages,

Here are just a few benefits:

  • You are always in control of the number of packages available and can plan deliveries ahead of time
  • You can customize your packaging materials for improved tracking and brand visibility
  • You can quickly access empty packages from storage in case of a last-minute order
  • You control the cleaning and sanitizing process, ensuring that your packages meet the hygiene standard in your industry.

Moreover, if you build a long-term relationship with a reliable packaging provider, you benefit from the most modern packaging solutions, incorporating the latest industry developments and technologies.

Q; At the end of the day, will we have to deal with the plastic waste when the packages reach the end of life?

A: Returnable plastic packaging materials are made from 100% recyclable materials. As professional packaging producers, we can advise you how to recycle them efficiently.

Moreover, we can also provide you with packaging solutions made from recycled materials. We are aware of our responsibility to reduce carbon emissions and plastic waste and help our clients maintain their environmental commitments, as well.

Q: We are a new company. How do we know what types of packages we need?

A: Logistic Packaging is committed to helping businesses – small, medium sized or large – find the right packaging for their needs. Our years of experience and know-how allow us to make the best recommendation after you give us details about:

  • Your products
  • Your packing, handling and storage operations
  • Your delivery routine.

We are interested in offering you the product you need, not the most expensive item in our catalog. This is how we earn our clients’ trust and build long-term relationships with them.
