Polypropylene is the premier food-safe industrial plastic. This is not a marketing claim — it is a conclusion supported by decades of regulatory acceptance, material science data, and real-world performance in some of the most demanding supply chains on earth. PP is recognized under FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 for food-contact use. It is chemically inert against the acids, fats, and sanitizers present in food manufacturing environments. It does not absorb water, does not shed fiber into food products, and does not require heat treatment, fumigation, or phytosanitary certification for international trade. And it is available in virgin, food-grade resin formulations that provide a clean, documented compliance record for FDA-regulated facilities.
A polypropylene box built from these materials — whether injection-molded as a gaylord, crate, or meat bin, or fabricated from twin-wall PP corrugated sheet as a folded box — brings these properties to any link in the food supply chain. It replaces cardboard, wax-treated fiberboard, and composite-material packaging with a single material that performs better, costs less per trip, and provides a cleaner regulatory and sustainability profile.
Elipacko supplies the full range of polypropylene boxes for food, industrial, and agricultural customers across the United States. Our product line covers injection-molded gaylord boxes and bulk containers, injection-molded produce crates and meat bins, and twin-wall PP corrugated folded boxes. All food-contact products are available in FDA 21 CFR–compliant virgin resin formulations with full material documentation.
Gaylord Boxes & Bulk Containers
Large-format PP bulk containers with standard GMA pallet footprints. Up to 1,500 lb rated capacity. Moisture-proof, chemical-resistant, reusable 50+ trips. Replace cardboard gaylords in dry and semi-liquid bulk applications.
Produce Crates
Ventilated PP crates for field-to-distribution fresh produce. Washable at 180°F, stackable 6–8 high. Reusable fleet economics eliminate single-use wax cardboard from your pack house. FDA 21 CFR food-contact compliant.
Meat Bins & Processing Containers
Copolymer PP bins rated for blast-freeze to –20°F. Smooth internal radii for HACCP compliance. Resistant to lactic acid, blood, fat, and alkaline sanitizers. Food-grade virgin resin with compliance documentation available.
Corrugated PP Folded Boxes
Twin-wall PP corrugated sheet fabricated into folded box format. Custom dimensions, waterproof, reusable 50+ times. Lighter than injection-molded solid-wall versions. Custom print and color options available.
Industrial & Agricultural Boxes
PP boxes for parts kitting, agricultural inputs, nursery products, and industrial components. Chemical-resistant, non-fiber-shedding surfaces. Standard and custom sizes. Compatible with wash-down environments.
Custom & Specialty PP Boxes
Non-standard dimensions, special configurations, integrated handles, drain holes, ventilation patterns, printed graphics, and color-coded identification. Contact Elipacko for custom development consultation and tooling timelines.
