The ResinPak holds 50% more product than the Gaylord boxes. This means 50% less change outs at the molding machines. It means 50% less forklift trips to and from the warehouse.
An
often overlooked cost is landfill cost which can average $250 per ton. If you are paying by the ton
you will be shocked when you compare the ResinPak to a box and pallet.
Boxes and pallets have a combined weight of about 70 lbs compared to
the ResinPak which is 16 lbs.
You
also get an advantage with ResinPak if you are recycling. Boxes do not
compress well so you can likely only get about 550 boxes in a truck
or an equal number of pallets. With the ResinPak 4,000 channels or 5,000
bags fit in a truck. That is almost a ten to one freight savings. Good
for both your budget and the environment.
