Advantages of collapsible plastic crates

Collapsible plastic crates are solid lightweight folding plastic crates that can collapse in seconds, making them super easy to use and put away.

What plastic is used for collapsible plastic crates?

Compared with wooden crates or carton boxes, collapsible plastic storage crates are generally more expensive, but considering the prolonged life span, the running costs can be stretched for a relatively long period of time. Folding plastic crates are usually made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP). Polyethylene has a higher impact strength and a low degradation by ultraviolet radiation, but polypropylene has a greater scratch resistance. The performance of both materials for making foldable milk crates can be improved by adding anti-oxidants and UV protectants for sunlight protection. Although the hard surfaces of plastic folding storage boxes have no cushioning effect, their smooth surface is easy to clean and gives better protection to products.
