Product Overview
Collapsible corrugated plastic boxes are made of corrugated plastic sheets, also known as Coroplast, Corflute and twin-wall PP sheets. They are light in weight, strong in rigidity, foldable, reusable, environmentally friendly and can be 100% recycled. This kind of box is not only economical but also resistant to liquids, chemicals and high impact.
Collapsible corrugated plastic boxes are a cost-effective alternative to corrugated cardboard boxes and cartons. The plastic corrugated carton is made of polypropylene, which is environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable, and the box is light in weight and can be reused.
Different colours, thicknesses and styles are produced based on detailed requirements. Collapsible packaging boxes, shipping containers and bulk bins are widely used across many applications.
A customised collapsible box comes in a variety of colours, sizes and designs to suit product storage and display. They are quick to make and easy to keep in good condition during transportation, which saves handling time. Because they fold flat, they suit end users who need to store a large number of boxes between uses.

Technical Features and Materials
Corrugated polypropylene sheet. 100% new virgin material is used where food contact packing is required.
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.
