Returnable trays: the buying brief
Measure nesting height and define how operators retrieve trays without reaching into an unsafe stack.
Incoming empty packs differ from filled beer loads. Confirm the bottle or can supplier’s support, layer-pad and depalletising arrangement before changing the base.

Keep the load and the enclosure separate
A wooden collar provides perimeter containment. The base supports the load and the inner pack controls movement and protection. Confirm all three against the goods rather than transferring a rating from another pallet or box. Use the matching collar product guide to discuss the components offered.
Plan the receiving and return process
For returnable trays, the packing decision starts with this specific check: Measure nesting height and define how operators retrieve trays without reaching into an unsafe stack. Agree how the receiver opens the pack and removes the items. Where packaging is returned, record the expected condition of boards, hinges, lid and internal fittings before the set is used again.
