Reusable Sleeve Packs for Sustainable Supply Chains
Reusable sleeve packs are made from corrugated plastic sleeves that sit inside a vacuum-thermoformed pallet.
The sleeves collapse for lower return shipping costs and save on storage space.
Tops for sleeve packs come in two options. First is a mirror image pallet, which allows the same pallet to be used as the top or bottom. This reduces SKUs to track and provides a true interlocking leg for safer stacking. Dedicated top caps provide a lower profile and allow for increased stacking heights.

Reusable Sleeve Packs Collapse for Lower Shipping Costs
Whether it is manufacturing, retail, or providing raw materials, sleeve packs provide a great way to move products within the supply chain and save on transportation costs.
In addition, this type of reusable packaging enables easy access to materials. SSI SCHAEFER provides options such as a drop gate or access door, which gives ergonomic access to goods. Also, a c-sleeve option is available for applications needing the flexibility of removing one or both sides for easy access
Multiple footprints are readily available

A Solid Pallet Footing for Nesting and Stacking
With sleeve packs, durability is key when shipping.
However, not all pallets are equal. SSI SCHAEFER builds each sleeve pack with a vacuum thermoformed pallet. When collapsed, pallet legs nest inside the bottom pallet giving an efficient way to store until needed. This also enables an increase in the amount for return shipments–saving you money.
Pallets come in standard black recycled material. Custom colors or an extruded colored stripe options are available for easy callouts or visibility in specific manufacturing processes.

Reusable Sleeve Packaging Available for an Array of Applications
Reusable sleeve packs, plastic gaylords, collapsible bulk or lightweight corrugated bulk bin, are just some of the terms used to describe this multifaceted shipping platform.
Multiple footprints are readily available and the cost to tool custom sizes is relatively inexpensive. An array of applications are well suited for in house use and external supply chains. These reusable packaging units are perfect for:
- Injection-molded parts, where protection against scratches and dings are needed,
- Raw materials for continuous sustainable manufacturing loop processes,
- Cut and sewn textiles for assembling and finishing operations,
- Medical applications where easy cleaning is required,
- Retail and grocery applications for product shipments, farmers markets, or aisle displays,
- Consumer goods appliance applications that need protection during work in process or component shipments.

At SSI SCHAEFER, our packaging experts understand that each application is different.

- Custom dunnage dividers, foam components, or textile inserts for improved part protection during
transit.
