Poultry 6425
Durable, reusable poultry crates
The industry’s first reusable plastic container (RPC) is custom-built for poultry and specifically designed to handle the realities of shipping. Unlike corrugated boxes, which fail due to leakage, this durable RPC has the strength and structural integrity to handle heavy, wet loads. It ensures that your poultry arrives in the best condition possible, using labor as efficiently as possible.

Poultry RPC FAQs.
How do reusable poultry crates enhance handling efficiency and reduce line downtime?
Reusable poultry crates are designed for seamless integration into a variety of poultry processing lines. Their standardized, durable design prevents the need for unstacking and re-stacking pallets that shift in transit, which reduces manual handling. It also prevents the need for machinery changes to accommodate different container sizes. Ergonomic handles make for easy and safe lifting.
In what ways do these crates simplify meeting HACCP and other food safety requirements?
The non-porous surface of the plastic does not harbor bacteria, and the crates are professionally cleaned and sanitized after each use. Additionally, it reduces product damage and leaks that trigger contamination events.
How do RPCs (Reusable Plastic Containers) protect poultry quality and reduce product damage?
RPCs protect poultry quality by withstanding cold, wet environments where corrugated boxes often weaken and fail. Their rigid walls prevent crushing while built-in fluid retention channels contain excess leak to avoid contamination and mess. Smooth, hygienic surfaces further reduce food safety risks, and consistent stacking prevents shifting in transit — minimizing damage and ensuring fresher poultry reaches the store.
What advantages do these packaging solutions offer over corrugated for cost, hygiene, and sustainability?
Compared to corrugated, reusable packaging solutions cut costs by reducing product damage and labor time on low-value activities like bailing. Their smooth, non-porous surfaces are easier to sanitize, eliminating moisture absorption and contamination risks common with cardboard. And by removing single-use boxes from the supply chain, they significantly lower packaging waste and carbon footprint.
