For shrimp farms and seafood processing businesses, a reliable plastic shrimp basket helps organize daily handling activities while supporting efficient drainage, cleaning and storage.

FIRST Plastic manufactures 42×23cm PP plastic shrimp baskets for shrimp farms, aquaculture businesses, seafood processing plants, fisheries, seafood exporters and industrial packaging distributors. Made from polypropylene (PP), these reusable baskets feature a perforated structure for water drainage, a practical stackable design and a durable construction suitable for routine commercial handling.

As an experienced plastic basket manufacturer in China, FIRST Plastic provides injection molding production, product customization and bulk supply solutions for international B2B customers.

With more than 70 years of plastic manufacturing experience, we support customers looking for a long-term manufacturing partner for reusable seafood handling containers.

2. Product Features Designed for Daily Seafood Handling

Perforated Drainage Structure for Shrimp Washing and Handling

Water drainage is an important consideration in shrimp harvesting and seafood processing. Baskets without suitable drainage openings can retain excess water during washing, collection and temporary holding.

The perforated structure of this PP shrimp basket allows water to pass through the openings, helping reduce retained water during handling.

It is suitable for:

• Collecting shrimp after pond harvesting

• Moving shrimp between washing and sorting stations

• Temporary holding during seafood processing

• Internal transportation within processing facilities

• Organizing seafood before subsequent storage or packing operations

The open structure also makes it easier to rinse the basket after use. Actual drainage performance depends on the loading conditions and the specific working process.

Durable Polypropylene Construction for Repeated Use

Manufactured from polypropylene (PP), the basket is designed for regular loading, unloading, carrying and storage.

For commercial aquaculture and seafood processing operations, reusable containers need to maintain their structural integrity through repeated handling cycles.

The PP construction offers:

• Good resistance to moisture during routine handling

• Practical rigidity for everyday loading and transportation

• Reusable performance for recurring operational workflows

• Easy-to-clean surfaces and drainage openings

• A practical alternative to disposable handling containers

For buyers requiring food-contact applications, the material grade and applicable food-contact compliance documentation should be confirmed before ordering.

Stackable Structure for Better Storage Organization

Seafood processing facilities often manage large quantities of empty and loaded baskets throughout the working day.

The stackable structure helps organize baskets in designated storage and handling areas, making it easier to manage container quantities and maintain orderly operational spaces.

When evaluating stacking performance, buyers should consider the loaded weight, stacking height, floor conditions and handling method.

For bulk operations, FIRST Plastic can discuss the required stacking arrangement according to the intended application.
