Nestable Plastic Crate PP Stackable Plastic Moving Crate Custom Plastic Crate Manufacturer

The 21L Nestable Plastic Crate is a reusable polypropylene container designed for moving, storage, warehouse organization, internal material handling, and returnable logistics applications.

With a 400×300mm footprint, 20kg load capacity and 80mm nested height, this plastic crate provides a practical solution for businesses that need durable reusable containers while keeping empty-crate storage and return transport space under control.

Manufactured from polypropylene (PP), the crate is designed for repeated handling in warehouses, factories, distribution centers, moving operations, and other commercial environments.

Standard blue and grey are available, while custom colors can be provided for project and branding requirements.

A Nestable Plastic Crate Designed to Save Space

One of the main advantages of this crate is its nestable structure.

When the crates are in use, they provide a 21L storage volume. When empty, they can be nested together, reducing the height occupied by each additional crate to approximately 80mm.

This makes the crate particularly practical for businesses that regularly need to:

• Store empty containers in limited warehouse space
• Return empty crates between locations
• Organize reusable packaging systems
• Move goods between production and storage areas
• Reduce unnecessary space occupied by empty containers
• Maintain a consistent container system across operations

Instead of storing empty crates at their full operating height, the nestable design allows multiple units to be consolidated into a much more compact stack.

400×300mm Format for Flexible Warehouse Handling

The 400×300mm external footprint provides a compact format for warehouse storage and material handling.

The crate offers:

• 21L nominal volume
• 350×275×240mm internal dimensions
• 318×239×232mm inside bottom dimensions
• 20kg load capacity
• ≤100kg stacking capacity

This configuration is suitable for organizing and moving a wide range of small and medium-sized goods, components, supplies and materials.

The compact footprint also makes it easier to create standardized storage locations and maintain a more organized material flow within warehouses and production facilities.

Reusable Plastic Crate for Moving and Material Handling

Unlike disposable packaging, a reusable plastic crate can be incorporated into a repeatable handling process.

The 400×300×260mm crate can be used for applications such as:

Warehouse Storage

Organize materials, supplies, components and general goods in storage areas and picking locations.

Factory Material Handling

Move components and production materials between workstations, storage areas and production lines.

Moving and Relocation

Use reusable plastic moving crates to organize household, commercial or workplace items during relocation and internal movement.

Distribution and Returnable Logistics

Use the crates as part of reusable packaging systems where containers repeatedly move between suppliers, warehouses, production sites and customers.

Retail and Back-of-House Storage

Provide a reusable container solution for stock organization, replenishment and internal handling.

The actual suitability of the crate should be evaluated according to the product being handled, load distribution, handling method and operating environment.

Durable PP Construction for Repeated Use

The crate is manufactured from polypropylene (PP), a commonly used material for reusable plastic handling containers.

Its reusable construction makes it suitable for businesses looking to establish a consistent plastic container system instead of relying entirely on disposable packaging.

For B2B applications, material selection is only one part of product reliability. Consistent molding, dimensional control, quality inspection and stable production are also important when hundreds or thousands of identical containers are used throughout a logistics or storage operation.

This is where an experienced manufacturer can provide additional value.

Custom Nestable Plastic Crates for B2B Projects

Not every warehouse or logistics operation has the same requirements.

FIRST supports customized plastic crate solutions for customers who need specifications beyond the standard configuration.

Depending on the project, customization can be discussed for areas such as:

• Product color
• Dimensions
• Identification requirements
• Branding requirements
• Packaging
• Application-specific design requirements

Our engineering and production teams can review your application and help determine whether the standard 400×300×260mm configuration is appropriate or whether a customized crate would be more suitable.

For larger B2B projects, customers can also discuss samples and production requirements with our sales team before placing a bulk order.

Designed for Efficient Empty-Crate Logistics

For reusable container systems, the handling of empty crates is just as important as the handling of loaded crates.

The 80mm nested height is therefore an important feature of this model.

When empty, the crates can be nested together to make better use of available storage and transport space. The stated container loading quantities are:

• 20GP: 2,200 pcs
• 40GP: 4,400 pcs

Actual loading arrangements may vary depending on packaging, container configuration and shipping requirements.
