Plastic reusable packaging improves the flow of product all along the supply chain, resulting in  significant cost reduction for food growers, processors and manufacturers.

ORBIS works with leading food companies to efficiently move their product throughout the supply chain with reusable pallets and containers. With industry expertise, ORBIS helps companies:

• Reduce risk of product damage that can occur with splinters and nails from wood pallets or crushed corrugated cases.
• Reduce worker strain by implementing contoured, easy-to-handle containers and pallets.
• Meet insurance needs. ORBIS offers 12 different fire-retardant pallets approved by Factory Mutual Insurance.
• Improve hygiene. To maintain cleanliness, ORBIS products are manufactured in non-porous plastic that is easy to keep clean.
• Ease international shipping. ORBIS’ export pallets eliminate the need for costly and time consuming wood pallet fumigation and documentation.
• Maintain security. All ORBIS products can be fully secured during storage and transport.
• Leverage Radio Frequency Identification. Dimensionally consistent pallets and containers provide repeatable “reads” throughout the supply chain.
• Prevent costly system downtime. Plastic packaging has no broken stringers or box flaps to halt the system.

Typical applications across the food supply chain include:

• Field harvest 
• Work-in-process 
• Inbound ingredient shipments
• Ingredient storage
• Finished goods storage
• Cold or frozen storage
• Distribution
• Merchandising

By design, ORBIS plastic reusable packaging products are ideal for food applications because of their non-porous surfaces, cleanability and contoured design for easy handling. Plastic pallets have no nails or splinters to damage product and containers offer rigid walls that resist sagging during storage and distribution.

Products used in the food applications include 40 x 48 work-in-process and shipping pallets, stack and nest harvesting containers, bulk containers, attached-lid distribution containers and hopper containers.
