Mesh Plastic Nestable Crate Manufacturer for Fresh Produce, Logistics and Reusable Transport

Ventilated, Space-Saving and Built for Repeated Commercial Use

Our mesh plastic nestable crate is designed for businesses that need efficient handling, ventilation and space-saving return logistics. Manufactured from durable PP (polypropylene), this 690 × 470 × 150 mm stack and nest plastic crate combines an open mesh structure with a practical nesting design, making it suitable for fresh produce handling, agricultural harvesting, distribution, warehousing and other reusable transport applications.

As an experienced plastic crate manufacturer, FIRST PLASTIC provides OEM and ODM manufacturing, customized colors, dimensions, printing and product solutions, supported by in-house injection molding and quality control capabilities.

Mesh Design for Better Airflow and Product Handling

The most distinctive feature of this plastic crate is its mesh structure on the side walls and base.

The open design allows air to circulate around the contents, making the crate particularly suitable for products that require ventilation during handling and transportation. It also helps reduce unnecessary material weight while maintaining the structural strength required for commercial use.

Typical applications include:

• Fresh fruits and vegetables

• Agricultural harvesting and collection

• Produce distribution

• Food handling and storage

• Warehouse material handling

• Reusable transport packaging

• Retail and distribution operations

For agricultural and fresh-produce supply chains, the ventilated structure can help reduce heat and moisture accumulation compared with fully enclosed containers.

Stack When Full, Nest When Empty

This crate combines two important logistics functions: stacking and nesting.

When loaded, crates can be stacked to utilize vertical warehouse and transport space. When empty, the crates nest inside one another to reduce the space required for storage and return transportation.

For this model, the external height is 150 mm, while the nested height is 75 mm per crate, reducing the vertical footprint of empty crates by approximately 50% based on nested height.

This design helps businesses improve:

• Empty-crate storage efficiency

• Return transportation utilization

• Warehouse space management

• Manual handling efficiency

• Reusable packaging circulation

For companies operating returnable packaging systems, the stack-and-nest structure can be especially useful when crates frequently travel between farms, distribution centers, warehouses and retail locations.

Durable PP Construction for Reusable Packaging

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

PP provides a practical balance of strength, weight and durability for repeated handling. Compared with traditional wooden containers, plastic crates are not susceptible to moisture absorption, rotting or insect damage under normal operating conditions.

The material and structural design make this crate suitable for repeated handling in demanding commercial environments.

Material: PP
Load Capacity: ≤25 kg
Stacking Capacity: ≤100 kg

Actual load and stacking performance should be evaluated according to the specific loading method, contents and operating conditions.

Designed for Agricultural and Distribution Supply Chains

The mesh plastic nestable crate is particularly well suited to applications where ventilation and efficient empty-crate return are important.

Fresh Produce

The mesh walls and base promote airflow around fruits and vegetables during collection, handling and distribution.

Agricultural Harvesting

The large 690 × 470 mm footprint provides useful loading capacity while the relatively low 150 mm height supports convenient product access and handling.

Logistics and Warehousing

The stack-and-nest configuration helps companies organize loaded containers while reducing the space occupied by empty crates.

Retail and Distribution

Reusable plastic crates can support repeated movement of products between distribution centers, stores and other handling points.

Standard Product Specifications

OEM & ODM Plastic Crate Manufacturing

Different supply chains have different requirements. FIRST PLASTIC supports OEM and ODM plastic crate production for customers requiring more than a standard stock container.

Depending on the project, customization can include:

• Custom dimensions

• Custom colors

• Company logo and product identification

• Structural modifications

• Packaging requirements

• Customized production solutions

Our manufacturing capabilities allow customers to move from product requirements to production through an integrated manufacturing process rather than relying solely on third-party sourcing.

Nestable Crate Details:

Printing&Engrave:

According to the specific requirements of customers, we will print and engrave the designated parts of the mesh stackable turnover crate to ensure the clarity and durability of the logo.

Stackable And Nestable:

The mesh nestable crate allows items to be easily stacked after being rotated 180 degrees, which can significantly reduce the space required for storage. Through this stacking method, multiple items can be stacked together firmly, greatly reducing the space occupied, and also effectively reducing the volume required during transportation. This not only optimizes the use of storage space, but also saves a lot of costs during transportation and improves overall logistics efficiency.
