Shipping tomatoes on a large scale requires strategic dunnage solutions to stabilize the load and protect your goods. This produce can become easily bruised or damaged through transit, so it’s important to choose the right products to protect them and ensure they arrive in their best condition to your customers. When you’re looking for the best shipping solutions for your tomatoes, choose a tailored option designed especially to meet their unique needs — the Sunrise RAIL-PAK® BIN-PAK™.
This product is a corrugated block alternative for loading wood and plastic bulk bins for the food industry, and was designed specifically with tomatoes in mind. It offers a range of benefits, from freight and labor savings to streamlined loading and unloading. Read on to explore the RAIL-PAK® BIN-PAK™ and learn about its advantages for shipping tomatoes.
Exploring the RAIL-PAK® BIN-PAK™
It’s available in 2 sizes — standard builds are 89” in length (wood bins) or 93” in length (plastic bins). You can also tailor the thickness of your solution, and those are typically 4“, 8”, or 16” due to bin size and car dimensions. With this set-up, bins are braced by disposable inflatable dunnage bags and the RAIL-PAK® BIN-PAK™ to keep them secure in place. Not only is this a highly effective system to keep your products in place and protected, but it’s also a user-friendly option with simplified installation.
The RAIL-PAK® BIN-PAK™ is backed by proven quality standards. It’s approved by the Association of American Railroads, under GIS781, validating its effectiveness and performance. With this solution, you can keep your tomatoes safe and enjoy a range of advantages.
Benefits of the RAIL-PAK® BIN-PAK™ for Shipping Tomatoes
This strategic solution offers many benefits to users, including:
Save on Freight Costs
The number of products you can safely ship within a single truckload plays a key role in protecting your bottom line. With the RAIL-PAK® BIN-PAK™ system, you can fit more per truckload, allowing you to get more from your investment. You can experience these savings within the first truckload, and they compare 2.5:1 when switching to the RAIL-PAK® BIN-PAK™ from DIAMOND-PAK® traditional honeycomb block bulkheads. This lets you save freight costs while still shipping tomatoes safely.
Save on Labor
This system requires less labor for loading and unloading inbound shipments of BIN-PAK™, which adds to your savings. You can reduce your overall purchasing costs with fewer POs and Receipt of Orders due to 2½ times more product per truckload vs traditional block bulkheads. This lets you save on labor costs and adds an enhanced benefit of streamlining your loading and unloading process, which can boost your product protection.
Save Time
The RAIL-PAK® BIN-PAK™ saves you time when shipping tomatoes because it’s user-friendly, easy to install, and designed to streamline loading and unloading while offering ideal protection. For the shipping process, time is of the essence, and creating a repeatable system that maximizes your efficiency and the safety of your tomatoes will allow you to scale faster.
Save Warehouse Space
This solution is economical with space because you can double-stack the pallets and store more efficiently. They offer more than double the volume of product in the same footprint as traditional block bulkheads, so you can store your products more strategically and effectively within the warehouse.
