Reach out to us regarding custom container options to best fit the needs of your specific project. 

Pallet Pack Containers

Lightweight Containers

The DuraGreen Pallet Pack Containers consist of a plastic top and pallet made from a twin-sheet thermoformed plastic with a heavy-duty corrugated cardboard sleeve. These containers can hold up to 2,000 lbs. and weigh in at about 60 lbs. themselves. Along with the option of the cardboard sleeve, there is a plastic sleeve to use alongside the pallet and top. The plastic option would be a good fit for projects involving a warmer climate, or those that might not need a 2,000 lb. limit. The plastic sleeve option maintains a low tare weight and can hold up to 1,000 lbs. of evenly distributed product. Both the cardboard and plastic sleeve selections, with the use of the pallet and top, provide a durable, cost-effective, lightweight container system that is functional in a variety of industries. 

Solid Wall Bulk Bins

Liquid Tight containers

The DuraGreen Bulk Bins with a lid creates a “spill-proof, weather-resistant” container that can be used to store small parts, liquids , and/or food-related products. With most of the bins being made of Polypropylene Plastic, this makes the bin FDA approved, which is useful for those in the food & beverage industry . These bins are made without seams, so even if your container is exposed to unpredictable elements, they remain sealed and weather resistant. With a handful of sizes available in the DuraGreen Bulk Bin category, we feel confident that one of these will fulfill your needs.

Hopper bottom bulk containers

Dispensing/Disposal Containers

 The DuraGreen Hopper Bottom Bulk Containers  are used to evenly distribute product from the container. Some uses for this container are: dispensing seed  in agricultural settings, food processing plants where the product can be stored inside the container for a “work in process” , and/or containing flowable products such as golf ball core, rock salt, plastic pellets, or bottle caps. The container has a variety of uses and comes in two different footprints- a 45 x 48”  option and a 57x45” option. Heights range from 32” to 74” tall, depending on how much room you need.
