EXPERIENCE AND FEEDBACK FROM ECORRCRATE CUSTOMERS WHEN COMPARING ECORRCRATE TO HISTORICAL WOOD CRATES:

Ecorrcrate, the superior eco-friendly paper-based crate vs. historical wood crates and other plastic and metal bulk containers, that will optimize your improvement efforts towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging program within your organization. The design and use of traditional wood crates has not changed in 1000 years and Ecorrcrate is here to change that by developing and manufacturing customizable Ecorrcrate, both in the Northwest and now Central Texas, supplying the US, Mexico, and Canada.

EXPERIENCE AND FEEDBACK FROM ECORRCRATE CUSTOMERS WHEN COMPARING ECORRCRATE TO HISTORICAL WOOD CRATES:

Ecorrcrate Durability

The Ecorrcrate is more durable than a wood crate in many ways - specifically it is a non-brittle product, so it is shatterproof / shatter-resistant. Wood crates can experience catastrophic failure with as little as 1 forklift impact. Ecorrcrate will not because it flexes and does not lose structural integrity from forklift impacts. Companies switch to Ecorrcrate to reduce / eliminate damage. Ecorrcrate has not had a single reported failure in more than 6 years.


Ecorrcrate Sustainability

Ecorrcrate is more sustainable than wood crates. Wood and Corrugate are both sustainable materials and upfront would be comparable. However, at the backend there is no comparison. Wood crates are thrown in the dumpster all the time and there are no recycling programs for wood. The Ecorrcrate parts and components can go in any standard paper / corrugated recycle streamEcorrcrate also has Ecorr runners, which can eliminate the need for a wood pallet underneath, but if you require a wood pallet, that can be disposed of separately. You can put the pallet in your parking lot and a million refurb pallet resellers will come pick it up and may even give you a few bucks for it.

Wood crates are not disposable and very expensive to manage the disposal process.


Time Savings

We have customers report that previous crate packing would take upwards of 35-50 minutes for each single crate. They now report that their packing specialists only take around 5 minutes to erect and start packing their products in the Ecorrcrate, even for more complicated loads it is less than 10 minutes to pack.


Optimized Packaging Experience for Packaging Line Specialist

Ecorrcrate is much safer / easier / faster for those tasked with packing up the orders and doing the heavy lifting. Ecorrcrate is much lighter weight and less wear and tear on those packing up the orders, so they are less fatigued. Ergonomically, the Ecorrcrate is easier to handle and user-friendly to move around with a pallet jack or forklift in any environment.


Eco-Friendly Packaging to Celebrate with your Customer and their Experience

The unboxing experience of Ecorrcrate is far superior to that of a wood crate. All you need is a pair of scissors to cut the straps and you can easily take the Ecorrcrate apart for unloading, storing or reuse.


Ecorrcrate Discovery and Introduction to the Market

Freight carriers still do not know what Ecorrcrate is or where to source. Most tend to think the Ecorrcrate is just another corrugated gaylord or normal corrugated box. I believe freight carriers handle Ecorrcrate more gently than they do wood crates because of the corrugated appearance.

Highly water-resistant - yes, the EcorrShield will repel a massive amount of water in wet, rainy, or snowy conditions, but that is only the 1st line of defense. When Ecorrcrate is exposed to the elements and experiences unfavorable conditions, the water will run down the sides of the Ecorrcrate. But rather than sneak under the corrugated and then into the inside of the crate, the water will “Wick” up into the corrugated flutes. Ecorrcrate Customers have not seen an Ecorrcrate that had enough moisture applied that the water actually penetrated to the interior of the crate.
