Headline: 60x40x17 Stack & Nest Plastic Crate – The Universal Hybrid for Fresh Logistics
24" x 16" x 6.7" Heavy-Duty Stack & Nest Utility Crate - Returnable Plastic Packaging
Product Overview: The 60x40x17 Stack & Nest crate is a heavy-duty, versatile solution designed to optimize the supply chain for fresh produce, poultry, and seafood. This "smart" crate offers a dual-phase functionality: it stacks securely when rotated 180 degrees to protect sensitive contents like chicken or soft fruits, and nests deeply when empty to reduce return-trip storage space by up to 70%. Its 170mm height is the perfect medium-depth for high-density transport without crushing the bottom layers of produce.
Elevate your food safety and logistical efficiency with our 17cm deep Stack & Nest series. Whether you are transporting fresh-caught seafood, poultry cuts, or orchard-fresh fruits, this crate provides the structural integrity and hygiene required for international food standards.
