What are Euro Boxes made from?
The boxes are robust because they are precision-moulded in HDPE (high-density polyethylene). This lightweight, durable material is the most suitable type of plastic for withstanding repeated transportation, rough handling, and long-term storage in tough conditions.
Why is it called a Euro Box?
“Euro” refers to the fact that they are designed to fit the standard set of Euro pallet sizes: 200 x 150mm, 300 x 200mm, 400 x 300mm, 600 x 400mm (which is the most popular) and 800 x 600mm.
Working to this standard means that all Euro Containers/Boxes/Crates can stack interchangeably. For example, two 400 x 300mm models fit neatly onto a Euro pallet with a base size of 600 x 400mm.
