Container Exchanger Wins Accolades From Whitehead Die Casting
Returnable packaging reduces waste created by every business. The EarthWorks Group estimates that 30% of landfill waste is created by plastic and paper packaging. The use of cardboard products and other one-time-use packaging products contribute to this waste.
Troy Cain is General Manager of Whitehead Die Casting Co., Inc. located in Gainesville, Georgia. Cain recently interviewed said, “We wanted to find good usable containers from a reputable source without too much risk. We found the Container Exchanger listing on internet and the web page was very helpful in finding what we needed.”
Sixty percent of the total packaging is now reused and the same percentage comes from Container Exchanger. Cain noted, “We have been very pleased with the professionalism and level of service from everyone we have worked with at Container Exchanger.”
Folding bulk containers, industrial totes, and metal storage bins are used over and over again within a facility or between a supplier and a customer. They can be used literally thousands of times. These bulk boxes are much cheaper in the long term when compared to buying cardboard boxes and wood crates every time that product is shipped. Savings can be observed in the per piece packaging cost. While the upfront investment in returnable packaging may cost more, savings can be realized quickly through repeated use (the same bulk containers, metal bins, and totes are used over and over), labor (no more box assembly), material handling (fewer moves from stackable containers), quality (fewer rejects due to damaged packaging), and floor space (plastic and metal containers can stack very high). The per piece packaging costs for used bulk containers and totes can be as low as 5% of the costs for a comparable expendable solution, depending on shipping volumes.
Container Exchanger (www.containerexchanger.com) is dedicated to the sale and resale of reusable packaging and containers. The firm resells folding bulk containers, metal storage bins, plastic industrial totes, plastic pallets, and used gaylord boxes nationwide. When a company is finished using a returnable packaging fleet, Container Exchanger represents the seller and finds a buyer for the used bulk packaging. Sellers enjoy a high sales price for a better return on investment. Buyers save significantly in comparison to new packaging prices.

Container Exchanger Reusable Metal Containers 70% Less Than New
Dave Madden, President of Container Exchanger recently discussed the efficacy of reusable metal containers, noting that, “Automotive molders, automotive components, durable goods manufacturers, metal stamping, metal casting… really absolutely any industrial company that must store or ship intermediate product all benefit from reusable metal containers. In other words, you have sub-assemblies or large parts that are transported to an “internal” customer (a different part of the plant).” Madden provided several examples such as the casted transmission housing gets put in a metal bin and is taken to machining and assembly line, or sub-assemblies that are transported to an external company en-masse.
There are many benefits of metal bins including durability and reusability; some are collapsible making return shipments more cost effective. Some metal bins are very heavy-duty, so they can hold a lot of heavy product, like casted or machined metal parts. This product can then be stacked and stored in a relatively small space. Wire baskets are effective because they are affordable. “A light-duty wire basket is pretty cheap for the internal storage volume and they are often used to hold cardboard for recycling or transporting and storing light stamped parts or molded parts,” suggested Madden.
Price savings of Used Reusable metal bins are significant; used metal bins are often 30% – 50% of the cost of new (70% off the new cost). The only expendable bulk solution is a Gaylord box. These boxes sell for $20 each for a good box and one has to buy a pallet. A wire basket might run $80 used. Gaylord boxes might last 4 uses or so, whereas the wire basket would last 200+ (both estimates and depend on usage). The payback comes after only 13 uses. And if the basket lasted only 200 uses, there would be a savings of 1500% compared to using a Gaylord box.
