Crates made of plastic are manufactured through plastic injection molding and often use HDPE, or high density polyethylene, which is a thermoplastic and can be molded when heated. The plastic injection molding process involves heating plastic resin until it becomes molten, then, under very high pressure, injecting it into a metal mold. The plastic will dry in the shape of the mold, in this case, a ventilated plastic container with grid-like walls and a solid bottom. In-mold labeling is often used to imprint a company logo onto each crate. The crates are usually sized according to pallet size, and a single pallet is able to hold up to 54 plastic crates at one time (if they are small enough).

Thanks to Matsa product development, new innovative crate handling solutions are constantly being introduced to the market. At the core of these systems is automation, which makes production faster and more efficient and Ltdreases daily capacity. This, in turn, multiplies the enterprise's productivity.
