As the global economy grows, thousands of containers enter the United States daily. Containers have proven to be the most cost-effective method for receiving product. Containers allow customers to consolidate purchasing; afford easy ordering access; have extremely cost effective pricing and provide up-to-date marketing conditions and pricing.

Total Items Purchased:

Paper and Plastic items cannot be mixed in a container. When purchasing a container, a maximum of 4 items are allowed on each container. For can liners a maximum of 8 items are allowed on each container.

Ordering Requirements:

• Paper Items have a minimum order requirement of 20 cases of each product.
• Plastic Items have a minimum weight requirement of 2,000 lbs of each product.

Additional Information:

• It takes an average of 90 days from day of order placement to arrival at Customer Dock
• It takes an average of 2 1/2 to 3 hours for three men to unload a Plastic container that is floor stacked. It will take less time for a Paper Item Container because there will be less product on it.
• Containers can be palletized for an extra charge ranging from $600 - $1000.00 per container

Please Note: If a container is palletized, the customer loses 10% of the capacity of the container. Also, U.S. customs can “hold” a container longer - past the 90 days - to see if the wood on a palletized is contaminated. We try to discourage palletized containers! PLASTIC IS THE ONLY ITEM THAT WILL BE PALLETIZED.
