Conductive Plastic Tote: Corriplast® Collapsible Container

Q: What are Corriplast® totes made from?

Corriplast® is effectively a conductive version of Correx® – itself a corrugated plastic material. The main benefits of Correx® – and therefore Corriplast® – is that it can be fabricated to create custom sized totes, containers and packaging that offers strength and performance approaching that of moulded plastic options (but are only available in stock sizes).

Q: What size collapsible totes are there?

Besides the 6 standard sizes available from stock, the use of Corriplast® material means you can source custom sizes and designs cost effectively. This tailoring of the conductive plastic totes can improve protection for your items (by preventing movement during handling/transit) and save space too.

Q: Can these ESD safe totes have inserts etc.?

The standard size collapsible totes can be enhanced further with the use of compatible divider sets. These allow for various cells to be partitioned within the tote, which allows the efficient movement of multiple items at once. It also helps to protect the parts / components, by minimising movement and preventing them from damaging each other. Other options such as foam inserts, cardboard fittings and even vac formed trays are available.

Q: Will custom sized anti-static containers be more expensive?

If you are transporting a high volume of products (and therefore totes) custom sizes can reduce your transit costs. Whilst you have an initial tooling cost to absorb, by eliminating the shipping of empty space within the totes (as their size will be perfectly tailored) you can ship more in one load, reducing the number of journeys and overall costs.

Q: Can my totes be printed?

It is possible to add simple printing and branding to the exterior of your collapsible totes. This can allow you to add important information such as handling instructions, batch or part numbers, other guidance or info for the end users, and of course your company name and logos (effectively providing free advertising when in transit).

Fold-Flat Plastic Tote

Award winning Corriplast® Collapsible Tote

Durable Corriplast® totes provide excellent ESD protection, with performance comparable to moulded plastic containers. An added benefit is, being able to collapse completely flat, they can reduce transport costs and minimise storage.

Besides enhanced lifespan vs. cardboard, the smooth surfaces are easy to clean and increase longevity (and are suitable for clean room use). Six standard sizes, hand holes and stacking tabs enable ease of handling for the end user as well. Read More

Description

More info on Conductive Correx® totes

As the winner of the National Packaging Councils “Gold Award” in 2007 – in the category of Plastic Packaging – you can be certain that the conductive plastic tote will be of benefit to your business.

Essentially, the collapsible tote bin provides you with a perfect solution where storage space is an issue, or reusability is required. Being manufactured from Corriplast® (conductive Correx®), the collapsible plastic tote is a lightweight, robust and ESD safe storage medium.

As a result, the conductive plastic tote provides exceptional physical and static protection for your products, parts, or components.

Effectively, the sturdy, robust construction and hard wearing Corriplast® material provides performance and strength comparable to moulded ESD plastic totes, at a lower unit cost.

Besides the protection offered to your products or components, another key benefit of the Corriplast® collapsible tote is the improvements in efficiency that you can realise.

There are six standard sizes, each of which has been designed to work seamlessly with industry standard racking, conveyors, and work areas. However, you can specify custom sizes if your application requires it.

Regardless of the design or size you pick, each collapsible tote will provide a “Specific Volume Resistance” of <10³ Ohm x cm and “Specific Surface Resistance” of <10⁴ Ohm. This ensures that any static sensitive items will be given the highest levels of protection during storage or transit.

Finally – and as the name would suggest – each of the Corriplast® totes is completely collapsible. This means that not only are delivery costs minimised, but the storage space you require when the totes are not in use (or are being returned empty from your customers/suppliers etc.) is vastly reduced too.

Improve the efficiency of your handling and storage

Whilst protection (through minimised damage / returns) and efficiency (through greater productivity) can both impact your costs, there are other ways in which conductive collapsible totes can save your business money.

For example, the durable nature of the material increases the lifespan of the totes, which in turn minimises the lifetime cost of your investment.

The material is also easy to clean. This means that rather than discarding dirty / wet totes (as would be the case with corrugated cardboard-based products), you can simply clean them off and use them again. This also makes them suitable for clean room use.

The light weight of the material (in comparison with the moulded plastic equivalents) can also reduce your transit costs (especially if calculated by weight rather than volumetrically).

Other features that the totes possess are inset handles for easy lifting and carrying, reinforced stacking lugs to aid stability when stacked, plus the option of lids to offer further protection when in storage.

Exterior print can also be specified (at additional cost) to add your company branding and instructions, part, or batch numbers or even health and safety instructions.
