Made from injection molded plastic, a storage tote often acts not as a container for end-users but as a storage vessel within which other plastic containers are shipped or stored. However, a storage tote is a durable full-assembly container that allows for convenient and safe storage for an endless range of products and can also be used to secure products during shipping if desired.

28. Polypropylene (PP) and Post Consumer Resin (PCR) Stock Packing Options

Given the long history of Polypropylene (PP) serving as the most popular and reliable stock packaging material, DISTRIBUPACK’s stock containers, sticks, jars, and caps are manufactured with PP for the in-stock items. However, if your business and/or customers wish to opt for a more environmentally friendly stock packaging material, we can provide nearly any product available on our website in Post Consumer Resin (PCR) material. As the name implies, PCR is a sterile, recycled material made with previously used plastics, which is appreciated by many customers focusing on a more environmentally friendly manufacturing approach.

29. Full Assembly Plastic Stock Packaging Containers

It is important to mention that the plastic containers, sticks, jars, and caps we have listed above are available for purchase as both separate component parts or, and in most cases, also as what we call “full assemblies” (both body and cap combined). This is intended to allow for easy website navigation and the flexibility that can cater to your ordering preferences. If you know you want both the body and the caps (need caps and containers), then combining an order as a full assembly can help to make your order experience less stressful, unit costs lower, and shipping simpler.
