New-Wood plastic-crate-from-Polymer-LogisticsUnder pinning its commitment to innovation within the field of retail ready packaging Polymer Logistics has launched the world’s first Wood Effect crate. Perfect for stores who want to give that market fresh impression, the new wood effect crate is set to revolutionize the look and feel of fresh produce aisles nationwide.

As more and more retailers are either starting to or are actually upgrading their stores, one area that has been of particular focus has been the fresh produce aisle. Retailers are recognizing the fact that the perception of fresh and local can lead to increased sales. Therefore store design and layout has been adapted to reflect this. However whilst there can be no doubt that improvements have been made, the actual crates that hold and display the produce are still look very generic and sterile.

The new Wood Effect crate from Polymer presents the opportunity for retailers to switch away from non-nondescript plastic crates and to actually influence buyer perception in terms of the market feel. What’s more for retailers who are actually using real wooden crates the new solution from PL is more sustainable and offers a significant advantage in terms of hygiene. Having made its debut at Fruit Logistica 2014 in Berlin, the new Wood Effect crate offers robust product protection during transportation and is both foldable and stackable to maximise truck and store space. The crates use the active lock system that enables store colleagues to fold away the crates efficiently using the ergonomic system.

“If retailers truly want to offer their customers that market fresh look then they need to find an alternative to the generic plastic crate that is prevalent in every retail produce aisle,” stated Adrian Dale, Managing Director Polymer Logistics UK. “Here at Polymer we believe that this represents a major breakthrough in terms of store enhancements and are confident that if retailers invest in the Wood Effect crate they will see a major uplift in sales”.
