In recent years, with the rapid development of the warehousing and logistics industry, the market demand for plastic folding turnover boxes has significantly increased due to their lightweight, durable, and foldable storage characteristics. Many companies are most concerned about the price of plastic folding turnover boxes when making purchases. In fact, the price is not fixed, but is influenced by various factors, ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan. The following will provide a detailed analysis of the key factors that affect prices, helping you make more informed choices.
1、 Material and craftsmanship determine the basic cost
Plastic folding turnover boxes are mainly made of polypropylene (PP) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The box produced from new materials has high strength and good low temperature resistance, and its price is usually higher than that of recycled materials. For example, if new materials are used for small boxes (with a capacity of 20-30 liters), the unit price is about 40-60 yuan; And recycled materials products may cost as low as 20-30 yuan. In addition, the one-time injection molding of the box structure in the process is more stable and more expensive than the splicing process
2、 The specifications and dimensions directly affect pricing
Size is the core variable of price. The price range for common medium-sized folding boxes (such as those with a capacity of 50-60 liters) is between 50-80 yuan, while large boxes (over 100 liters) may exceed 100 yuan. Special customized sizes (such as thickening and irregular designs) will increase the unit price due to increased mold costs, usually 20% -30% more expensive than standard boxes.
3、 Functional design added value
The basic folding box only meets the stacking requirements, but the price of boxes with anti-static, sealing cover, pulley or RFID tag slot functions will significantly increase. For example, anti-static models may be 30% -50% more expensive than regular models, and the unit price of boxes with pulley designs may increase by 40-60 yuan.
4、 Procurement volume and supply chain factors
Batch procurement is an effective way to reduce costs. When purchasing less than 100 pieces at a time, the unit price may be higher; Orders of over a thousand pieces usually receive a discount of 10% -15%. On the other hand, the product prices of brand manufacturers (such as well-known logistics box brands) may be about 20% higher than those of small manufacturers, but the quality and after-sales service are more guaranteed.
5、 Differences in Industry Applications and Scenarios
Different usage scenarios have different requirements for the enclosure. The food and pharmaceutical industry needs to comply with food safety standards (such as FDA certification), and the price of such containers generally increases by 20%; In ordinary industrial warehousing scenarios, economical boxes can meet the demand with relatively low unit prices.
Practical purchasing suggestions
If the budget is limited and the usage frequency is low, a standard box of recycled materials can be chosen; If used for high-intensity circular logistics, it is recommended to invest in new material products to extend their service life. Preliminary estimate: The enterprise will purchase 100 medium-sized standard folding boxes, with a total cost of approximately 5000-7000 yuan. The daily usage cost of each turnover box is extremely low, and the long-term cost-effectiveness is significant.
Overall, the price of plastic folding turnover boxes needs to be evaluated based on specific needs. It is recommended to clarify the usage scenario, load requirements, and budget range before procurement, and request sample testing from suppliers. For accurate pricing, you can directly consult professional manufacturers to provide targeted solutions.
