Plastic Crates for Wholesale & OEM Programs
Our plastic crate range is suitable for storage, distribution, warehouse handling, retail supply and general transport applications. Existing molds are normally the most efficient choice for sampling and repeat orders. Buyers should select crates according to external and internal dimensions, wall design, base structure, stacking or nesting method, unit weight and intended application before confirming branding and packing requirements.
Key Options
- Multiple crate sizes and capacities
- Solid-wall and ventilated structures
- Stackable and selected nestable designs
- Open or integrated handle structures
- Standard and selected custom colors
- Bulk and private-label order options
Custom Plastic Crate Support
OEM projects normally begin with an existing crate model close to the required dimensions and handling structure. Customization can then be developed around the selected product and order quantity.
- Custom colors for suitable models
- Logo or selected surface marking
- Product labels and barcode placement
- Identification or private-label labels
- Export shipment marks
- Selected mold development for qualified projects
New dimensions, wall patterns or structural designs requiring tooling can be reviewed after drawings, specifications or reference samples are provided.
Specifications and Buying Information
Plastic crate quotations depend on the complete product specification. Buyers normally need to confirm:
- External and internal dimensions
- Material and intended application
- Solid or ventilated wall design
- Base and handle structure
- Unit weight and required rigidity
- Stackable or nestable requirement
- Color and logo requirements
- Estimated order quantity
PP or HDPE may be used depending on the selected model and application. MOQ is usually around 500–2,000 pcs per model/color, although larger crates may require different quantities. Existing samples normally take about 5–10 days, customized samples around 10–20 days, and bulk production usually about 25–40 days after approval.
Production and Quality Checks
Plastic crates are generally produced through material and color preparation, injection molding, finishing, inspection and shipment preparation. Because crates are structural handling products, dimensional consistency, wall condition, base structure and stacking fit are important inspection points.
Typical checks include:
- Material and color confirmation
- External and internal dimensions
- Unit weight and molding consistency
- Wall, grid and corner condition
- Handle and base structure
- Stack or nest fit where applicable
- Visible warpage and surface defects
- Packing and shipment quantity
Approved samples or confirmed specifications can be used as production references for bulk orders.
Packaging Options
Large plastic crates are usually packed differently from smaller consumer products because shipment volume is a major cost factor.
- Nested packing for compatible models
- Stacked bulk packing
- Protective wrapping where required
- Product or barcode labels
- Palletized packing when suitable
- Container-loading arrangements for bulk shipments
Packing quantity, nesting ratio, pallet requirement and shipment method should be confirmed before production so loading efficiency can be considered in the quotation.
