Product Details & Benefits

Reduces shrink/product damage.
Made of durable plastic, this RPC is 400% stronger than corrugated, preventing product damage during transport and significantly reducing shrink.

Saves on labor.

Ergonomic design makes these quicker and easier to stack. Reusability eliminates the time required for breakdown and disposal of corrugated boxes, further reducing labor costs.

Saves on transportation.

25% Stronger, to stack higher than corrugated can, with a standardized footprint to provide added stability, this RPC maximizes cube utilization, minimizing trips. One customer saw a 25% drop in transportation costs.

Supports sustainability.

Durable enough to be reused for years, and recyclable.

Saves time and reduces labour costs with easy-to-handle meat crates that can go directly from truck to shelf.

Easy to wash, clean and maintain, meeting strict food safety and hygiene standards.

Design to utilise transport trips and save costs.

Increase sustainability across meat supply chain due to reusable, recyclable crates, reduced transport trips and lower food waste.

Cardboard

Products are more prone to damage during transportation, when wet and in-store, increasing food waste and costs.

Requires extra handling in-store, increasing labour time and costs.

Less hygienic and difficult to clean.

Limited stackability, higher transport costs.

Single-use only, less sustainable due to higher waste and more frequent replacement needs, increasing transport trips and food waste.

Meat RPC FAQs.

How does Meat 65170 reduce purge, damage, and labor compared with corrugated?

Meat 65170 is 4 times stronger than corrugated, and its rigid wall, smooth surface, and leak-resistant construction protect product integrity and eliminate box breakdowns that cause rework. With no cleanup required, teams spend less time managing packaging and more time moving product. Fewer damaged cases, fewer messes, and fewer touches all translate into measurable labor savings.

How does the standard footprint and rigidness of crates improve pallet cube and trailer fill versus traditional meat shipping boxes?

Because Meat 65170 has a standardized footprint and doesn’t deform under load, every crate stacks uniformly, maximizing stability and pallet cube. You can fit more product per trailer, avoid voids created by collapsed corrugated boxes, and often deliver up to 25% transportation savings.

How does switching from single-use corrugated to Meat 65170 support your sustainability goals?

Switching to Meat 65170 supports a circular economy. It’s a reusable asset that cycles through your supply chain hundreds of times before being recycled. By eliminating single-use packaging and reducing transport emissions through improved cube, the container directly supports landfill-diversion and Scope 3 reduction goals.

Can the container integrate with conveyors, AS/RS, and robotics common in meat processing containers workflows?

Yes. The Meat 65170 is automation-ready. Its rigid plastic construction and uniform dimensions ensure reliable performance and seamless integration with conveyors, AS/RS, and robotics, while preventing the jams associated with weak cardboard.
