> How Reusable V-Crates Work

V-Crates consist of rabbeted panels, held together with extremely strong, detachable, spring-hardened stainless steel fasteners. They simply snap into pre-cut slots on each panel.

A specially designed fastener release tool is provided with containers, which can quickly release and/or pry the fastener off when desired.

V-Crates™ can be stored and transported flat when not in use.

ASSEMBLY IS A SNAP!

QUICK – EASY – EFFICIENT!

Note: Items can be loaded at any stage of container assembly as desired.

1.	Stacked and dismantled – Reusable V-Crates (unless extra large in size) can be assembled or dismantled by one person in just minutes.
2.	Assembling the container - No special tools are required. Simply place one rabbeted side panel into the rabbeted edge on the base. Secure by snapping fasteners into the pre-cut slots on both panels. Continue with remaining panels and fasteners in desired order. Specialized containers, dunnage, locks, etc. will require additional instructions.
3.	Attaching the lid – Lastly, the lid is placed into position and fastened to the four assembled side panels. The V-Crate™ is complete and ready for use.

IT’S JUST THAT EASY!

> Protect The Environment & Sustain Resources!

Integrating reusable V-Crates into supply-chain operations can help reduce overall waste and meet corporate packaging waste reduction goals!

Utilizing reusable shipping containers like V-Crate™ is an approach many businesses have found highly effective to reduce packaging waste. The amount of generated waste can be reduced to help conserve natural resources, promote corporate responsibility, while adding profit to the bottom line.

To promote resource and supply-chain sustainability and to “green the supply chain” in the U.S., there is pressure on federal and numerous state governments to provide economic incentives, such as tax credits or lower interest loans, to encourage businesses to switch from single-use to reusable packaging and transport containers.

Businesses may utilize reusable transport containers for a variety of reasons to increase efficiencies and to save money. Whatever the reason, reusable V-Crates can help manufacturers and businesses improve their bottom lines while decreasing the burden and negative impact wasteful packaging puts on the environment.

Reusable containers can reduce vast amounts of waste compared with using single-use containers. Though at the end of their useful life, V-Crates will need to be dismantled and disposed of, they are constructed of 100% recyclable wood and metal material.

> Are Reusable Transport Containers Right for You?

Businesses should consider utilizing reusable transport containers when they can save money and resources. Also, by implementing returnable containers as part of corporate process improvements, businesses could achieve more productivity out of an existing facility.

Ideal Conditions for Reusables:

•	Operate closed or managed open-loop systems
•	Manufacturers and suppliers located near one another
•	Repetitive and constant flow of products between more than one business
•	Have own trucking fleet
•	Ship large, bulky and/or easily damaged products, currently requiring expensive custom single-use containers
