Reduced Operational Costs

While wood shipping materials have limited reusability and plastic materials can only last only under the best conditions, shipping with steel packaging is much more durable and can be used indefinitely. With a longer life cycle, steel can dramatically improve your operations budget, and it proves to be a great investment over time. Including its reusability, here are some of the many attributes of steel shipping that positively impact your bottom line:

• Can be reused multiple times
• Resistance to weather and moisture maintain capacity for shipping
• Non-flammability results in lower insurance premiums
• Lighter weight can decrease overall shipment weight by 70 percent for plastic and 20 percent for wood
• Elimination of regulatory paperwork including non-coniferous declarations and FDA regulations
• No treatment required for bugs or infestation
• Steel is readily recyclable, saving landfill space and creating recycling revenue for your customers
• No fumigation or heat treatment required for export use
• Lightweight, rackable, and stackable
• Reduced pallet inventory
• Moisture-free platform results in reduced degrade of load due to moisture that is present in other pallet materials
