What Are Euro Containers?

Euro containers are manufactured to a standard Euro size of base of 600mm x 400mm which means that they stack in four columns on a Euro pallet of 1200mm x 800mm, and in five columns on a UK pallet of 1200mm x 1000mm. Some manufacturers of crates and boxes also make them in 400mm x 300mm and a smaller size of 300mm x 200mm and an extra large size of 800mm x 600mm.

You can use Euro containers of different base dimensions stacking on top of other containers. So for instance, you could stack 600mm x 400mm containers 2-up, side by side, on 800mm x 600mm containers, and you can stack 400mm x 300mm containers 2-up on top of 600mm x 400mm containers. Euro stacking containers also have straight sides, unlike nesting containers, so they can hold more product.

Because of the straight sides, these containers are ideally suited for carrying food products, such as wet fish from a fishing boat to the fishmongers or to a food processing unit. The solid base and sides will retain any fluids, and the containers are very easy to clean.

Euro containers are also suitable for most manufacturing and service industries. The larger containers are great for handling products, while the smaller sizes can be used to carry parts and small fixings. These containers are available with both solid and ventilated sides, and the ones that are ventilated are also suitable for certain food applications as they will chill faster when put into a fridge or freezer and reach the desired temperature more quickly. With the ventilated sides, users can easily spot whether the container has any contents or is empty. Since there is less material used in ventilated containers, they actually help to reduce the carbon footprint because vehicles transporting them will use less fuel.

Euro stacking containers are often used to transport high value items as they can be supplied with lids and with a variety of locking devices. They can also be moved about on wheeled dollies built to handle crates of the Euro size.
