With shorter product life cycles and the expansion of distribution, manufacturing, sourcing and engineering functions around the world, consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies and retailers are collaborating to profitably manage every aspect of their supply chain.

Plastic reusable packaging improves the flow of product all along the consumer goods supply chain to reduce costs. It is designed to take the place of limited-use wood pallets and single-use corrugated shipping boxes. Users experience a rapid return on their
investment...many times in 6 - 18 months or less.

ORBIS helps leading companies implement effective reusable packaging programs to reduce costs and optimize their supply chain. With industry expertise, ORBIS helps companies:

• Reduce risk of the product damage, or “shrink” that can occur with splinters and nails from wood pallets or crushed corrugated cases.
• Reduce worker strain by implementing contoured, easy-to-handle containers and pallets.
• Prevent costly automated system downtime. Plastic packaging has no broken stringers or box flaps to halt the system.
• Improve hygiene. To maintain cleanliness, ORBIS products are manufactured in non-porous plastic that is easy to keep clean.
• Ease international shipping. ORBIS’ export pallets eliminate the need for costly and time consuming wood pallet fumigation and documentation.
• Maintain security. All ORBIS products can be fully secured during storage and transport.
• Leverage Radio Frequency Identification. Dimensionally consistent pallets and containers provide repeatable “reads” throughout the supply chain.

Typical applications include:

• Inbound material shipments to CPGs
• Inbound packaging shipments
• Work-in-process 
• Finished goods case storage
• Distribution
• Merchandising

Products used in the supply chain include 40 x 48 display bases, 40 x 48 shipping plastic pallets, attached-lid distribution containers, merchandising trays, stack and nest containers and bulk containers.
