Our customers profit from years of experience in implementing collapsible plastic bins at suppliers and OEMs. Reusable plastic packaging solutions such as the BulkPak® Family of FLCs offer great potential for cost savings and CO2 reduction. With a collapsible, stackable design and high weight capacities, the plastic FLCs optimise part shipments across global supply chains in the automotive industry.

Innovative solutions for lithium-ion battery transportation

The current shift towards e-mobility leads to challenges in the area of packaging. As lithium-ion batteries are classified as dangerous goods, the transport of these goods is subject to strict regulations. ORBIS has developed the IonPak®, a plastic foldable large container that is UN-certified to transport solid dangerous goods. That includes lithium-ion batteries but also other products such as airbags and belt tensioners (after successful completion of fire testing). Our offer includes a variety of different footprints and styles as well as qualified consulting by dangerous a goods safety advisor. The collapsible and recyclable all-plastic container brings considerable transportation cost savings and operational benefits to your supply chain.
