Eurosize Containers

Find the answers you need below. If you have any additional questions, our customer service team is always here to support you.

Question 1: What are euro containers and what are the standard euro container sizes?
Euro containers are stackable plastic storage containers manufactured in standardized European dimensions designed to fit perfectly on euro pallets for optimal space utilization in warehousing and logistics. The most common euro standard sizes are 600x400 mm (compact euro boxes) and 800x600 mm (large industrial containers). These euro norm containers are designed to maximize pallet loading efficiency, with the 600x400 mm format allowing three containers across a standard euro pallet, while 800x600 mm containers fit two per pallet width. Our euro containers are manufactured from robust polypropylene and available in various heights to suit different storage needs, from small load carriers (KLT containers) to full-height transport containers.

Question 2: What is the difference between solid and perforated euro containers?
Solid euro containers feature closed walls and bases, making them ideal for storing small parts, liquids, and fine materials that require full containment and protection from dust or contamination. They are particularly suitable for food-safe applications and clean environments. Perforated euro containers have ventilation holes in the walls and/or base, promoting air circulation and drainage, which makes them perfect for fresh produce, agricultural products, and items requiring ventilation or washing. Perforated stackable containers also reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. Both variants are manufactured from the same durable polypropylene and offer identical stacking capabilities. Our range includes both types to meet diverse warehousing and logistics requirements.

Question 3: Which euro containers are best for heavy-duty industrial applications?
For demanding industrial environments, our heavy-duty euro containers manufactured from robust polypropylene offer exceptional durability and load-bearing capacity. These industrial storage containers are specifically engineered to resist oils, alkalis, and acids, making them ideal for automotive, manufacturing, and chemical industries. We recommend our 800x600 mm euro containers for maximum volume and stability when handling heavy components. For automotive applications, our KLT containers (small load carriers) meet industry standards for parts logistics. All our stackable storage solutions are temperature-resistant and designed for long-term use in warehouses, production facilities, and distribution centers. Available from stock at competitive wholesale pricing with reliable European-wide delivery.

Question 4: Are euro containers food-safe and suitable for food industry applications?
Yes, our euro containers are manufactured from food-safe polypropylene that fully complies with EU regulations for direct food contact. These food-safe plastic storage containers are ideal for restaurants, catering, food processing, retail, and agricultural applications. The material is temperature-resistant, easy to clean, and does not absorb odors or flavors. For enhanced hygiene and protection, we offer euro containers with lids that seal contents securely during storage and transport. The smooth interior surfaces prevent bacterial growth, and the containers can withstand regular washing and sanitization. Available in both solid (for dry goods and packaged foods) and perforated designs (for fresh produce and ventilation needs), ensuring optimal conditions for diverse food storage requirements.

Question 5: Can I purchase euro container lids separately and are they compatible with all sizes?
Euro container lids are available as separate accessories at karton.eu, allowing you to customize your storage solutions based on specific protection needs. Our container lids are designed to fit precisely with corresponding euro box dimensions – 600x400 mm lids fit all 600x400 mm containers, and 800x600 mm lids match the larger format. Lids provide dust protection, secure stacking, content confidentiality, and weather protection during transport and outdoor storage. We offer various lid types including solid covers for complete protection and hinged lids for frequent access. All lids are manufactured from the same durable polypropylene as our containers, ensuring long service life and compatibility. Mixing containers and lids in standardized sizes enables flexible, cost-effective warehouse organization.

Question 6: Do you offer bulk discounts on euro containers for logistics companies and warehouses?
Yes, we offer competitive wholesale pricing on all euro containers and stackable storage solutions for logistics companies, industrial operations, retail businesses, and warehouse facilities. Our tiered pricing structure provides attractive volume discounts when ordering larger quantities, making it cost-effective to standardize your entire storage infrastructure. Whether you need a single euro box or bulk quantities of stackable containers, all items are available directly from stock for immediate delivery. Since 2007, we have reliably supplied professional customers throughout Europe with premium storage solutions. We provide complimentary standard shipping throughout mainland Germany and offer reliable European-wide delivery. Contact us for customized quotations on large-scale orders of KLT containers, euro pallet containers, or complete warehouse solutions.

Question 7: What are KLT containers and how are they used in the automotive industry?
KLT containers (Kleinladungsträger or small load carriers) are standardized euro boxes specifically developed for the automotive industry to streamline parts logistics and supply chain management. These specialized automotive containers follow VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry) standards and feature precise dimensions that optimize space utilization on euro pallets and in automated warehouse systems. KLT containers ensure consistent handling from suppliers through production lines to assembly stations, reducing packaging costs and enabling returnable packaging systems. Our KLT range includes various heights and configurations, with options for container dividers to organize small components efficiently. Made from durable, chemical-resistant polypropylene, they withstand industrial environments and repeated use cycles. Available from stock with fast European delivery to keep your automotive logistics running smoothly.
