At a glance
Warehouse logistics and internal transport cover the storage, order picking and in-house movement of goods in reusable plastic containers and on plastic pallets. The material determines suitability: polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (PE-HD) deliver impact-resistant, hygienic and chemically resistant containers that survive many circulation cycles. Standardised sizes are the key to efficiency: euro containers and stacking boxes in the 600×400 mm base size fit into racks, onto pallets and into automated conveying and storage systems. Collapsible and folding boxes reduce the transport and storage volume when empty, plastic pallets replace wooden pallets where hygiene, constant weight and cleanability are required. Load, weight, storage technology, hygiene requirement and transport route govern the selection. Since reusable containers made of single-grade plastic are used over many cycles and recovered at the end of life, they are also a contribution to the circular economy. We verify suitability per application – there are no blanket load ratings.

Standard sizes for efficiency
Euro containers and stacking boxes in the 600×400 mm base size fit into racks, onto pallets and into automated systems – the basis for continuous warehouse logistics.
Rugged and durable
Impact-resistant PP and PE-HD containers survive many circulation cycles, impacts and cleaning cycles – reuse instead of single-use, with plannable costs.
Space-saving when empty
Collapsible and folding boxes markedly reduce the transport and storage volume when empty – an advantage for return transport and reusable circuits.
Hygienic and cleanable
Smooth plastic surfaces can be cleaned and disinfected if required; plastic pallets are constant in weight and splinter-free – important for food and pharma.
Designed for circularity
Reusable containers made of single-grade plastic are used over many cycles and recovered at the end of life – a concrete contribution to the circular economy.

Typical set-up
Building a reusable circuit for in-house logistics
A typical selection scenario: for the in-house material flow, the choice falls on stacking boxes in PP and PE-HD in the 600×400 mm standard size, which fit into racks, onto pallets and into the conveyor system. For return transport to suppliers, folding boxes complete the system because they save volume when empty. On plastic pallets, the load units stay hygienic and constant in weight. Which containers and sizes carry in the individual case, we clarify based on the load, storage technology and transport route.

In detail
Warehouse logistics and internal transport: standardised, rugged, circular
Efficient warehouse logistics rests on standardised, stackable reusable containers. Semadeni supplies the load units for storage and in-house transport – stacking boxes, euro containers, collapsible and folding boxes as well as plastic pallets – made of PP (polypropylene) and PE-HD. Which containers carry follows from the load, storage technology and transport route.
Container types and their field of use
The choice follows the task: stationary storage rugged and stackable, return transport space-saving, load units hygienic.
| Container type | Strength | Typical material | Typical application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stacking boxes / euro containers | 600×400 standard size, stackable | PP / PE-HD | Storage, picking, automation |
| Collapsible and folding boxes | space-saving when empty | PP | Reusable circuits, return transport |
| Plastic pallets | hygienic, constant weight | PE-HD | Food, pharma, export |
| Transport and picking containers | rugged, cleanable | PP / PE-HD | In-house transport, provisioning |
The assignment is orientation; size, load capacity and suitability are to be determined per load and per system.
Standard sizes as an efficiency lever
The 600×400 mm base size and its subdivisions are the key to continuous logistics: containers of this grid fit into euro pallets, racks and automated systems. In this way, storage space, transport and picking can be coordinated with one another.
- Stationary storage: rugged stacking boxes in the standard size, rack- and pallet-compatible
- Return transport: collapsible and folding boxes save volume and cost when empty
- Load units: plastic pallets for hygienic, constant-weight transport
Reuse and circularity
Reusable containers made of single-grade plastic survive many circulation cycles and can be recovered as a material at the end of life. This lowers waste and makes costs plannable – warehouse logistics thus becomes a concrete contribution to the circular economy. More on this on our page about the reuse concept.
Hygiene and cleaning
Smooth plastic surfaces can be cleaned and disinfected if required. Plastic pallets are splinter-free and constant in weight – an advantage wherever hygiene and consistent load units matter, such as in food and pharma applications.
Selection and advice
For particular requirements – such as automated storage systems, hygiene-sensitive areas or made-up reusable systems – our specialists are on hand and match container, size and material to your specific storage and transport task.
Frequently asked questions about Reusable containers for warehouse and internal transport
What standard size do euro containers and stacking boxes have?
Euro containers and many stacking boxes are based on the 600×400 mm base size and its subdivisions. This grid fits into euro pallets, racks and automated conveying and storage systems and is the basis of continuous, plannable warehouse logistics. Height and design are chosen according to the load and storage technology.
When are collapsible or folding boxes worthwhile?
Collapsible and folding boxes are worthwhile wherever containers are transported or stored empty. When collapsed they save volume markedly, which reduces the cost of return transport and empties storage. For purely stationary storage, rigid stacking boxes are usually the more rugged choice.
Are plastic pallets better than wooden pallets?
That depends on the use. Plastic pallets are hygienic, constant in weight, splinter-free and easy to clean – advantages in food, pharma and export applications. Wooden pallets are often cheaper to buy. Which solution carries follows from the hygiene requirement, circulation frequency and transport route.
Are plastic containers suitable for automated storage systems?
Yes, provided the size, base design and rigidity suit the system. Containers in the 600×400 mm standard size with a defined base geometry run in many conveying and shuttle systems. The specific suitability is to be verified per system; we support the selection.
Does Semadeni also supply made-up reusable systems?
Yes – besides over 8,000 stock articles, we assemble customer-specific reusable systems, for example from a container, insert, lid and marking. We supply the components from stock; contract packing and logistics services we handle in Ostermundigen.
