Reusable plastic packaging has been proven to be safer for the environment and more economical for the companies that use them. This explanation of reusable plastic packaging is provided by Orbis Corporation.

      Reusable packaging is used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, beverage, food, electronics, pharmaceutical, textile, printing and apparel.

      Plastic reusable packaging improves the flow of product all along the supply chain, to reduce costs. These products are used to move, store and distribute product within a single operation or entire supply chain. From raw material to finished goods, plastic reusable packaging safely and efficiently moves material/product to its destination. These packaging products are ideal for multiple trip applications in a closed-loop environment or well-managed supply chain. These products can also be used effectively in a managed open-loop system, with reverse logistics in place to return empty containers or pallets for re-use or replenishment. Products include:

      •Hand-held containers, bins, boxes or totes.

      •Pallets, top frames, top caps and divider sheets.

      •Bulk containers, bins, boxes or totes.

      •Protective interior dunnage (custom).

      •Storage containers and metal systems.

      •Custom designed and engineered packaging

      Your reusable packaging provider will analyze your operation/system, conduct a financial justification, design a solution and implement a packaging program that will reduce overall costs and optimize your operation. As plastic reusable packaging products seek to replace one-time use corrugated shipping and storage boxes and limited-use wood pallets, users experience a rapid return on their investment, many times in 12-18 months or less.

Why plastic reusable packaging?

      The development and implementation of reusable packaging programs can result in sustained optimization and overall cost reduction, through:

      •Improved productive flow of goods.

      •Reduced packaging waste (from the disposal of corrugated boxes or wood pallets).

      •Reduced packaging costs.

            •Maximized product protection.
