Products move multiple times throughout the manufacturing and shipping process, and doing this efficiently means packing them in the right bulk container. From auto parts to medicines to food to general consumer products, just about every industry can benefit from the right bulk storage solutions. Flexcon offers the level of customization you’ll need to make bulk containers work for your specific industry, whether you need food-safe materials or packaging printing that makes sorting and organizing easy. Choosing the right bulk containers with the right customization options can save you money and warehouse space while reducing errors and damage caused by mixing up products or containers.
Printing packaging is simply printing on materials that will later be used for packaging. This can include wrappers and labels that go directly onto the product as well as temporary storage like bulk containers. Just about anything can be printed onto packaging, from practical information like safety instructions or temperature ranges to your business’s logo.
Brands and businesses can use custom printing to add almost anything to their packaging. Depending on the type of product and what makes sense for the storage and shipping process, this can include basic details like the product name and code, logistical information like destinations and shipping dates, and safety advisories like expiration dates and handling instructions. Adding your logo to final products is important and can also increase brand visibility during the shipping process. If you need to add more information than makes sense for the packaging surface of the label or container, QR codes are a great strategy.
Flexcon makes high-quality, customizable bulk containers for a variety of industries and settings. They are available in small, medium, and large sizes. Smaller sizes are ideal for small items that need to be carefully organized or heavier items that would be difficult to move in larger quantities. Larger containers have a higher storage capacity, which makes it easier to store and transport bulkier items. If you move bulk containers using forklifts or other machinery, larger containers can make the process more efficient.
At Flexcon, we use high quality materials that make our containers very durable and tough. This added durability is essential in many industry settings, whether you’re using them for long-term storage, long-distance shipping, frequent moves or any combination of these. The right containers will hold up throughout every step in the process, while remaining in good condition and ready for reuse.
Flexcon also provides custom printing or even hot stamping for our containers, which allows you to clearly label all of your containers and simplify the storage and organization process.
When choosing bulk containers, it’s important to consider how the containers will be handled. Containers that are moved manually will need different features than those moved with forklifts. Manual handling might require handles for easier grip or dolly attachments to ease the strain on workers. The containers will also need to be lightweight and compact enough for workers to move safely. When using a forklift, size and weight are less of a concern, though durability is much more important.
Collapsable, compressible, or stackable containers save space when transported empty. For example, you may need to bring the containers back to your warehouse after unloading products at the destination. Compressing containers saves truck space and all associated expenses. Regardless of the setting, custom general printing can help you seamlessly integrate the new bulk containers into your existing process.
Space is often at a premium when storing and transporting products. Warehouse space is expensive, and more trucks naturally require more fuel. Bulk containers that are designed to be stacked safely let you make full use of your facility’s vertical space. Not all storage containers are designed to stack, so it’s important to consider your space requirements before deciding how to customize the containers that work for your business.
When considering the costs of bulk containers, it’s important to look beyond the initial price. Factors like durability, the extra features that certain containers offer, and how many times a container can be reused all contribute to the net value they end up providing for your business.
For example, cardboard boxes are generally cheaper than similar products made of plastic. However, corrugated plastic containers can be used for between 30 and 50 times longer than corrugated cardboard alternatives without shedding dust. This means plastic can be much less expensive even in the near term. Similarly, if paying for premium features like a container with slots that fits your delicate products and reduces damage during transportation, the containers will eventually pay for themselves.
Printing packaging is an important feature that allows businesses to customize their bulk containers. Flexcon offers a range of container options to fit your needs, along with printing solutions that can add even more useful features.
