Product Overview
Corrugated plastic sheets are approved for food packaging, so they are widely used in food industry packaging.
We are a professional corrugated plastic processor and can process sheet into a variety of reusable packaging boxes for packing or transporting fruit, vegetables, seafood and similar produce. Our food packaging plastic boxes are lightweight, waterproof, corrosion resistant and non-toxic, so they can be recycled many times. They are an ideal material to replace paper boxes or cartons.
Key Benefits
Lightweight Strong Durable and Long Lasting
The box survives repeated trips through the pack house instead of being replaced each time.
Waterproof Moisture Proof and Weather Resistant
Ice packing, washdown and humid transit do not soften the walls.
Chemical Corrosion Resistance Impact Resistance and Anti-Fading
Printed graphics and box colour stay readable through the season.
Environmentally Friendly Recyclable Washable Non-Toxic and Anti-Corrosion
Boxes can be washed between crops and recycled at end of life.
Easy to Process and Custom Cut Shapes
Vent holes, hand holes and stacking features are cut to your drawing.
Excellent Surface for Spraying and Printing Inks
Grower and packer branding prints directly on the box.
Cost-Effective for Any End User
Cost per trip falls with every reuse.

Technical Features and Materials
Corrugated polypropylene sheet approved for food packaging, non-toxic, waterproof and corrosion resistant.
Manufacturing Process
- Raw Material High impact co-polymer polypropylene resin, with anti-static, conductive, UV or flame retardant masterbatch added at the extruder when a modified grade is ordered.
- Extrusion The sheet is extruded on one of six production lines to the ordered thickness and weight per square metre. Printing grade stock is corona treated on both surfaces during extrusion.
- Cutting and Creasing Sheets are cut to the ordered panel size and creased where the part has to fold.
- Fabrication Boxes, totes, trays, sleeves and layer pads are formed by welding, riveting or sealing the edges and corners, and accessories are fitted.
- Inspection and Packing Finished goods are inspected, then packed in plastic shrink film on wooden pallets or to the packing method the customer specifies.
From Enquiry to Delivered Goods
Quality Control
ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System
Operations run to an ISO 9001:2000 quality management system so that the process meets international standards.
100% Inspection Before Delivery
Quality control is carried out inside our own factory and every product is 100% tested before it is released for delivery.
Extrusion Line Control
Thickness, weight per square metre, flute geometry and colour are set and checked on the extrusion line so each sheet matches the ordered specification.
Fabrication Check
Cut sizes, crease positions, welded corners and sealed edges are checked against the approved sample before packing.
Certifications and Standards
Operations run to an ISO 9001:2000 quality management system. Container resin can be specified as ESD safe or flame retardant meeting UL 94 HB flame retardant grade. Where food contact packing is required, 100% new virgin materials are used. We do not publish certificates we have not been given — ask and we will send what applies to your order.
Customization and Comparison
Customization Options
- OEM and customised orders are welcome. Send the drawing and the requirements of the style you want and we will submit samples for your approval.
- Thickness, weight per square metre, panel size, colour and grade are all set per order.
- Boxes and containers can be produced in different colours, thicknesses and styles to your detailed requirements, including dividers, layer pads and accessories.
- Printing and self-adhesive vinyl application are available on corona treated printing grade stock.
Comparison With Other Options
| Option | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Corrugated Plastic Produce Box | Washable, reusable many times, waterproof, recyclable |
| Wax Carton | Water resistant but single use and hard to recycle |
| Plain Cardboard Carton | Cheapest per unit, fails when wet, single trip |
| Injection Moulded Crate | Very durable but needs tooling and nests less efficiently |
Use Guide
- Give us the produce, the pack weight and the stacking height so wall thickness and weight per square metre are set correctly.
- Specify vent hole pattern and hand hole positions on the drawing; they are cut, not moulded.
- Ask for printing if the box carries grower or retailer branding.
- Wash and dry boxes before storage so they stack cleanly for the next crop.
