Durable totes
A family of multifunctional, attached lid, nestable, plastic containers is suited to distribution of retail goods including grocery dry goods, perishables, hardware and clothing. Heavy-gauge plastic construction is highly durable. These returnable containers are said to cost retailers less than disposable corrugated containers in the right applications. Molded-in hinges reduce cost, increase durability, and make repair and recycling easier.
