Supply Chain
 
Rehrig Pacific has been designing and building efficient reusable transport packaging since their first wooden dairy crates were produced and sold in 1913.
 
Today, all companies, up and down the supply chain, are demanding lower costs from each of their suppliers as competition increases. Returnable and reusable transport packaging offers not only reduced costs, but also increased efficiencies over most forms of one-way packaging.
 
For example, in the Grocery industry, Reusable Plastic Containers, commonly called RPCs, which are rigid for outbound trips and collapsible for inbound trips, are now being used to transport all types of produce between growers and supermarkets all over the world. With one common footprint and several different stack heights that conform to the different produce, these crates can be mixed on pallets to make more stable and efficient unit loads.
 
Reduced packaging waste is not the only benefit of using RPCs instead of corrugated boxes, wooden flats, or foam TKVs for produce. Better protection and reduced chilling time means more produce gets to market quicker and fresher than ever before. Sturdier transport packaging means fewer collapsed loads from moisture-saturated cartons. More efficient use of warehouse space results because pallets can now be stacked on top of each other without fear of damaging their precious unit loads.
 
Not Only for Produce
Reusable Plastic Containers are not only just for the produce industry. Rehrig RPCs have a standard 5-down footprint on 40"x48" pallets. This means you maximize the space available with straight wall RPCs, unlike stack/nest totes or hinged lidded boxes with highly tapered walls that loose cube on every unit load you ship out. Likewise, you save on every backhaul because collapsible RPCs store more efficiently empty as well.
 
Reusable Plastic Containers offer:
  • Real packaging materials cost savings,
  • More efficient unit loads,
  • Better use of precious warehouse space,
  • Increased product protection,
  • Increased profits, and
  • Improved customer satisfaction all along the supply chain.
Experience has shown that Rehrig Pacific has the design expertise and manufacturing know-how to create successful solutions for virtually any product needing transportation between suppliers and end users. Whether you have your own closed loop distribution system, or need the asset management services of a third-party logistics provider, Rehrig Pacific can provide you with a proven product or put you in touch with a reputable logistics partner.
