Southeast Asia Case Study: Durable Attached Lid Containers for High-Efficiency Logistics

Southeast Asia Shipment Case Study: Attached Lid Containers for an FMCG Distribution Center Client Location: Southeast Asia Product: Attached Lid Container (ALC) Industry: Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Logistics Shipment Date: June 2025 Container Size: 600x400x315mm Customization: Logo printing, barcode labeling, color customization Project Background In June 2025, our company successfully fulfilled a bulk order of attached lid containers (ALCs) for a major logistics service provider in Southeast Asia. The client is a key distributor for a regional FMCG brand and was seeking a durable, stackable, and reusable plastic storage solution to optimize their warehouse and delivery processes. The customer's key pain points included: Frequent damage to cardboard boxes during last-mile delivery Inefficient stacking and poor space utilization in warehouses High labor costs due to non-standard packaging formats After evaluating several alternatives, the client chose our ALC product series due to their robust construction, foldable lids, and ability to be stacked securely when full and nested when empty, maximizing storage efficiency. Why Attached Lid Containers? Attached lid containers are one of the most versatile solutions for closed-loop distribution systems. For this project, the following product features played a critical role in the client's decision-making process: 1. Durability Made from high-impact polypropylene, our ALCs can withstand daily wear and tear in fast-paced logistics environments. They are designed to last 5–8 years under normal operational conditions, significantly reducing packaging replacement costs. 2. Integrated Lid Design The hinged lids are permanently attached, reducing the risk of lid loss and enabling faster handling. The lids are rib-reinforced to resist impact and can be secured with tamper-evident cable ties—an essential feature for high-value goods. 3. Stacking and Nesting Efficiency Full containers stack securely to prevent shifting during transit. Empty containers nest inside each other when lids are open, saving up to 75% space. This makes the ALC ideal for reverse logistics—a major consideration in Southeast Asian distribution networks. 4. Labeling and Customization The client opted for: Screen-printed company logo on both sides Barcode label areas for warehouse tracking Custom color: dark blue with grey lid, aligning with their corporate brand Project Execution Process Our collaboration with the client followed these key steps: Initial Consultation & Sample Testing The client reached out through our Google independent website. After confirming their specifications and application scenarios, we sent 3 different sample sizes for on-site testing. Within two weeks, they confirmed the 600×400×320mm and 600×400×250mm models as ideal fits. Order Confirmation & Production Upon receiving the formal purchase order, we arranged priority production. Our team followed strict quality control procedures, including: Injection molding quality checks Lid hinge strength testing Logo printing accuracy Drop and stacking tests for transportation simulation Logistics Arrangement We coordinated with the client’s designated freight forwarder and packed the goods with eco-friendly stretch film and corner protectors. Loading was completed within 3 days, and the container shipped via sea freight from Ningbo Port. They also noted that the barcode-friendly surfaces have improved their inventory accuracy and tracking speed, supporting their digital warehouse upgrade strategy. Key Takeaways This successful case demonstrates how our attached lid containers provide practical and economic value to businesses in emerging logistics markets. Especially in Southeast Asia, where warehouse automation and packaging standardization are growing trends, durable and returnable containers like ALCs play a vital role. For clients looking to: Reduce packaging waste Improve warehouse workflow Enhance goods protection in transit Our ALC solutions offer a reliable, cost-effective answer.
