Nestable containers
Nestable containers are the smart solution when it comes to space saving storage and efficient logistics processes. These versatile plastic containers are easy to stack inside each other when they are empty, which reduces transport and storage volumes significantly – and makes them ideal for companies with a high product turnover or seasonally fluctuating requirements. Particularly practical: many models such as stack/nest containers can be stacked or nested inside each other depending on how they are organised. Whether used in warehousing, production, mailing or the food industry – nestable containers make an impression with their functionality, their robust materials and ease of handling. Our product range includes a large selection of plastic stacking containers, EURO size crates and EURO size stacking containers that are versatile and adapt to your requirements.
In the category Nestable containers we offer you products of the following brands: BITO, eurokraft pro.
More flexibility with nestable stacking containers
Stack/nest containers are particularly practical when it comes to the storage and recirculation of empty containers. By simply turning them by 180 degrees, the containers can either be stacked or pushed into each other – which not only saves space, but also lowers the cost of transport and storage. The containers are made of sturdy, food safe plastic and are therefore also suitable for use in hygienically sensitive areas. They are particularly popular in the food processing industry, in logistics and the wholesale trade. Another advantage: many models are temperature resistant and are therefore also suitable for use in cold storage warehouses or in outdoor areas.
Plastic stacking containers for everyday use
Our plastic stacking containers are not only durable and highly resilient, they are also particularly easy to clean. They are perfectly suited for use in industry, the retail sector and for warehousing. Closed side panels and bases ensure that even small products or loose items remain reliably stowed away. A range of different sizes, colours and max. loads are available to cater to individual requirements. A number of related products are also equipped with ergonomic recessed grips, which make handling considerably easier.
EURO size crates – systematic organisation
EURO size crates are distinguished by their standardised dimensions, which make consistent and efficient stacking and storage possible. Whether stored on pallets, in shelf unit systems or on dollies – the compatibility of these crates provides undeniable benefits in terms of logistics and space utilisation. Because they are robust and versatile, they can be used in almost any industrial sector. Particularly practical: many models are also available as a related nestable product. Lids that are optionally available provide additional protection from any dust, dirt and moisture during storage or transport.
EURO size stacking containers – robust and compatible
Our EURO size stacking containers allow you to set up a consistent system for storage, transport and order picking. The containers are compatible with standard transport and conveyor systems and are easy to integrate into them. The high quality materials and excellent workmanship also make them suitable for heavy loads. Should they not be needed, then they are straightforward to stack inside the other – for maximum space savings. There are also related products available with smooth inside walls, which makes them particularly suitable for cleaning and for use in hygienic areas.

Frequently asked questions about nestable containers
What is a stack/nest container and how does it function?
A stack/nest container is a special type of storage container that allows one to be nested inside another or stacked on top of another by simply turning it around. This saves storage and transport volume when they are not in use. These containers are usually made of robust plastic and are ideal for logistics concepts involving container recirculation. They are often used in the food industry, in logistics and the retail sector.
What are the advantages of plastic stacking containers in comparison to metal containers?
Plastic stacking containers are lighter, do not corrode, and are much easier to clean than the related metal products. They are also available in many sizes and colours and are therefore suitable for individual uses. Their impact resistant construction ensures a long service life, even when they are used daily. They are particularly suitable for areas in which sensitive materials are used or strict hygiene requirements apply.
What are the characteristics of EURO size crates?
EURO size crates are based on standardised grid dimensions (e.g. 600 x 400 mm), which ensures compatibility with pallets, shelving units and transport systems. They enable optimum space utilisation in the warehouse and for shipments. These crates are stackable, robust and versatile. EURO size crates therefore make standardising logistics processes considerably easier to achieve.
When should EURO size stacking containers be used?
EURO size stacking containers are ideal for anyone who is looking for an efficient storage system with standardised dimensions and a high level of stability. They are particularly suitable for use in automated warehouses or conveyor systems. The design allows them to be stacked securely without sliding around. They therefore promote structured and space saving storage solutions.
Are stack/nest containers food safe?
Many stack/nest containers are made of food safe polypropylene and therefore satisfy conventional hygiene requirements. They are therefore also suitable for storing and transporting unpackaged foodstuffs. When deciding which product to purchase, look for the corresponding labels or certificates. These containers are particularly popular in the catering and food processing industries.
Can plastic stacking containers also be used at temperatures below zero?
Yes, high quality plastic stacking containers made of temperature resistant materials are also suitable for use at low temperatures. This makes them ideal for cold storage warehouses or outdoor use in winter. They retain their shape and function even in the cold. Before making a purchase, we recommend taking a look at the manufacturer’s information on temperature resistance.
Which max. load do EURO size crates typically have?
The max. load that EURO size crates are suitable for depends on the model and material, and usually totals from 10 to 40 kg. Related reinforced products with a higher load capacity are available for heavy duty use. These are often also equipped with ergonomic grips. This means that even heavy goods can be transported and stored safely.
Are there EURO size stacking containers with lids?
Yes, many EURO size stacking containers are available with lids to match that protect the products being transported in them from dust, dirt and moisture. Lids can usually be ordered separately, or are included in the set. Some models have hinged or snap-on lids for even greater convenience. This ensures the contents remain protected at all times – even when they are placed in storage for extended periods.
Can stack/nest containers be combined with other containers?
In many cases, stack/nest containers are easy to integrate into existing storage concepts. It is important that their dimensions are compatible with the shelf units or pallets in use. One particular advantage that they offer is space saving return when they are empty. This means that they ideally complement conventional container systems.
What is the best way to clean plastic stacking containers?
Plastic stacking containers are easy to clean with warm water and a mild detergent. For stubborn dirt, a high pressure cleaner or placing them in the dishwasher will help, provided the material is suitable for this. It is important to dry the containers thoroughly after cleaning. This ensures they are hygienic, and it extends the service life.
