RFID tags protected by container design

A new bulk container features a recessed design to protect RFID tags from damage during handling and shipping.

This design allows tags to be placed directly on the container rather than on a pallet. Sizes range from 32 to 40 cubic feet, and options include covers, graphics and two- or four-way fork entry.
