Small load carriers made from corrugated cardboard

Stable small load carriers made one hundred percent from corrugated cardboard are also suitable for your products.

THIMM is a specialist in the development and production of small load carriers made from corrugated cardboard. These can be used in the automotive, medical, pharmaceutical and retail sectors. Small load carriers made from corrugated cardboard are ideally suited for the transportation and storage of a very wide range of products.

Punched out of a single die-cut, small load carriers made from corrugated cardboard are folded along the pre-scored sides and locked together within just a few seconds. Grooves also support the fixing and stability. A lid in the form of a die-cut closes the small load carrier made from corrugated cardboard. The content is stowed safely and can be transported or stored.

The integrated stacking lugs of the small load carriers made from corrugated cardboard ensure optimum transportation and effective storage. The stacking lugs are also used to easily position the heavy product parts on top of each other during packing.

Small load carriers made from corrugated cardboard for the automotive industry are standardised by THIMM to VDA Recommendation 4530 and are available in the 17 and 18-series. Like plastic small load carriers they have label surfaces and can be stacked together with plastic small load carriers.

Thanks to smart developments, five sizes of the 17-series (SLC 1740-1744) have already been optimised. This has resulted in a reduction of the gross area of up to 36 percent, which also has significantly reduced material consumption and waste. The corrugated cardboard saved corresponds to a total volume of 280,000 square metres or 171 tonnes of paper per year. THIMM has significantly reduced CO2 emissions through these smart adjustments. The small load carriers retain the former positive properties and protective functions.

Please talk to us if you require small load carriers made from corrugated cardboard adapted to your own products. We will use our packaging expertise to design an optimum and sustainable small load carrier from corrugated cardboard exactly in accordance with your wishes.
