(PRUnderground) September 18th, 2024

Flexcon’s Complete Guide to Corrugated Plastic Containers defines top attributes of corrugated plastic containers and what applications benefit the most from their weight, fabrication and cost advantages. Flexcon’s Top Considerations for Choosing Warehouse Bins guide shines the spotlight on an underpublicized standard in warehouses that has benefitted from corrugated plastic and advances in design to undergo dramatic innovation in recent years.

Companies Considering Corrugated Plastic Containers Can Learn It All from the Leader

One of the first container manufacturers to adopt corrugated plastic for use in totes, bins containers and trays, Flexcon, provides a comprehensive overview and takes a close look at benefits in the Complete Guide to Corrugated Plastic Containers.

“In solving customers’ challenges in promoting operational efficiency and maximizing cube in warehouses, we’re finding the answer more and more often is corrugated plastic containers. We just felt it was time for someone to write a guide showing people the advantages we’ve seen across industries and applications,” said Flexcon President, Ken Beckerman.

Highlights readers can look forward to include:

  •   What makes corrugated plastic different
  •   How corrugated plastic containers are manufactured
  •   What industries benefit from corrugated plastic containers
  •   The top ten reasons to choose corrugated plastic for containers
  •   The advantages of corrugated plastic when it comes to customization
  •   The standard and unconventional container types possible with corrugated plastic
  •   Why corrugated plastic containers are ideal for automated systems

Light in weight, shapeable, collapsible and capable of conforming to precise specifications, corrugated plastic containers have evolved to meet the changing needs of manufacturing plants, warehouses and a host of commercial, institutional and agricultural environments.

The guide features a video highlighting the range of shapes and applications that are possible for corrugated cardboard containers and demonstrates their use in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) and with automated guided vehicles (AGV) and autonomous mobile robots (AMR).

Over 35 years of material handling expertise and experience supplying corrugated plastic containers to the world’s biggest brands help make Flexcon’s Complete Guide to Corrugated Plastic Containers a definitive resource for those looking into alternative materials for their totes, trays, containers and bins.

First-of-Its-kind Guide to Warehouse Bins Fills Today’s Knowledge Gap

Current performance demands require careful consideration of tote options, making Flexcon’s Top Considerations for Choosing Warehouse Bins an essential resource.

According to Flexcon President, Ken Beckerman, “Bins are ubiquitous in warehouses. But there isn’t a lot of information out there to guide buyers. This resource has everything about today’s available options, materials and applications to help them make the best decisions for their operations.”

Today’s warehouse bins are the product of the times. Many companies struggle with the same challenges managing inventory and facilitating productivity. Warehouse managers need the ability to provide efficient and organized storage solutions that respond to rapid and major inventory changes instigated by new facilities, expanded pick lines, or product introductions.

Flexcon’s new guide discusses available options for warehouse bins, including molded plastic, corrugated plastic, and corrugated cardboard, and how well they adapt to solve new and pressing challenges.

For warehouse operators, cube utilization is a major issue with today’s high real estate costs. The guide goes into key considerations for choosing bin materials and customizations for optimizing warehouse space while facilitating efficient picking.

Cube utilization of warehouse bins when in use as well as out of use is crucial. The “Top Considerations” guide discusses features that facilitate space-saving storage of empty bins.

Ease of storage will always be trumped by ease of use by both workers and automated systems. Flexcon’s guide provides insights into the importance of ergonomic attributes and precision features in warehouse bins.

“Considering how many processes warehouse bins touch and their impact on cube utilization, you need them optimized. And when things change in your order volume or your network or product line, you need to be able to respond quickly and effectively,” Beckerman adds.

For companies seeking agile storage solutions for the changing demands of the market and modern warehouse, Flexcon’s Top Considerations for Choosing Warehouse Bins is essential reading.
