Collapsible Rigid Containers
Collapsible rigid containers have emerged as an innovation to cut the repositioning & handling costs as well as to solve the space shortage problem. Collapsible rigid containers are in high demand owing to the customer requirement who don’t want empty containers to accumulate the same space in a warehouse or on trucks as they do when they are full. These containers can thus be collapsed or unfolded to their number of fractions leading to stability and load capacity.

Market perspective
Collapsible rigid containers have emerged as an innovation to cut the repositioning & handling costs as well as to solve the space shortage problem. Collapsible rigid containers are in high demand owing to the customer requirement who don’t want empty containers to accumulate the same space in a warehouse or on trucks as they do when they are full. These containers can thus be collapsed or unfolded to their number of fractions leading to stability and load capacity.
The leading manufacturers of collapsible rigid containers include Schoeller Allibert, Georg Utz Group, Walther Folding Box, and others, with the top three accounting for about 20% of the total market.
China is the largest market with about 30%, followed by Europe with about 25%.
