Crateco is a leading plastic crate supplier and manufacturer in the UAE, offering a wide range of durable plastic crates for storage, handling, and transport. Our high-quality plastic storage crates are designed for strength, stackability, and long-lasting use, making them ideal for warehouses, retail, and industrial operations. With Crateco, businesses can streamline operations, protect products, and optimize storage efficiency without compromising on quality.
Plastic crates from Crateco are injection-moulded using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP), making them strong, impact-resistant, and built to last. Unlike disposable cardboard boxes, these crates hold up to repeated use, saving costs over time.
In sectors like food, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture, hygiene is non-negotiable. Crateco's plastic crates resist moisture, pests, and contamination. Plus, they're easy to wash and sanitize.
Thanks to their standardized sizes, Crateco's plastic storage crates stack and nest neatly. This means better use of warehouse space, safer stacking, and faster handling in automated systems.
Though the upfront cost of a plastic crate may be higher than a cardboard box, its reusability, durability, and long lifespan make it far more economical in the long run.
Using reusable crates reduces waste and cuts down on single-use packaging. Many of Crateco's crates can be recycled, supporting a more sustainable supply chain.
Crateco offers a wide lineup of crate options — more than 100 sizes in a variety of colors and shapes. Here's a look at some of the most popular and useful types:
These are fully enclosed plastic crates that protect sensitive or delicate goods from dust, moisture, and damage. Crateco offers closed crates in many sizes (e.g., 600 × 400 × 150 mm) for secure and safe storage.
For perishable goods like fruits, vegetables, or baked items, ventilated crates allow airflow via perforated walls or bottoms. Crateco's ventilated crates help preserve freshness, reduce spoilage, and maintain quality during transport.
These offer all the benefits of ventilation and also nest neatly when empty — saving valuable storage space. Crateco provides nestable versions in different sizes, optimizing both airflow and space.
When you need to move or store large volumes, Crateco's ventilated jumbo crate (e.g., 805 × 570 × 425 mm) is ideal. These jumbo crates are designed to be stackable and nestable, and they come with reinforced corners for durability. There are also closed jumbo crate variants for more protection.
Crateco's catalog includes crates for very specific needs: bakery crates, fruit & vegetable crates, dates crates, milk crates, and more. You also get crate lids and dolly-trolley options, making transport and handling easier.
Here's how various businesses benefit from Crateco's plastic crates:
Fruits, vegetables, baked goods, or dairy products are perishable items that need airflow and hygiene. Crateco's ventilated crates and nesting designs help maintain freshness and prevent damage.
Standard-sized crates provide efficient stacking, which is essential for warehouse automation, forklifts, and pallet jacks. Closed crates help protect fragile components during transport.
Large-volume crates — like jumbo crates — make it easy to move bulk goods. Plus, nestable crate options help retailers save space when crates are empty.
We offer bottle crates (such as for 6-, 12-, or 24-pocket crates), whether for beer bottles, Coke bottles, or 5-gallon water bottles. These crates ensure safe transport and storage of liquid products, protecting them from breakage and making handling simpler.

While cardboard boxes are cheap and light, they don't last long. They can get damaged by moisture, pests, and heavy loads. On the other hand, plastic crates are durable, reusable, stackable, and hygienic — making them ideal for long-term industrial use.
Wooden crates are strong, but they can be heavy, splinter, and absorb moisture. Plastic crates carry a lighter footprint, resist water, and don't break down easily under harsh environments.
| Crate Material | Durability | Weight | Maintenance | Cost Efficiency | Ideal Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plastic Crates | High – resistant to impact, moisture, and chemicals | Lightweight | Easy to clean; minimal upkeep | Long-lasting; reusable, reducing replacement costs | Warehousing, logistics, food, retail, industrial storage |
| Wooden Crates | Moderate – can splinter or rot over time | Heavy | Requires regular treatment to prevent decay | Higher long-term cost due to wear and replacements | Bulk shipments, heavy machinery, one-time exports |
| Metal Crates | Very High – strong, durable | Very heavy | Can rust; requires protective coatings | Expensive initial investment; limited portability | Industrial storage, heavy-duty transport |
| Cardboard/Carton Crates | Low – prone to tearing, moisture damage | Very light | Single-use or short-term; sensitive to water | Cheapest upfront, but not reusable | Short-term shipping, lightweight goods |
Here are some practical tips to help you pick the right crate from Crateco:
Do you need airflow? → Go for ventilated or ventilated nestable crates.
Do you handle large-volume items? → Choose a jumbo crate.
Are goods fragile or sensitive? → Use closed crates for protection.
If you want to save space when crates are empty, consider nestable crates.
If you need to stack crates full of goods, ensure the crate type supports stable stacking.
For food or perishable goods, choose crates that are easy to wash and sanitize.
Make sure there are no tight corners or blind spots where dirt can build up.
Crates should be compatible with forklifts, pallet jacks, or conveyor systems in your warehouse. Crateco designs for these.
For mobile operations, ask about crate lids and dolly trolleys.
If you plan repeated use, investing in high-quality HDPE crates makes sense. Think long-term: reusability often offsets the higher upfront cost.
Here are some real examples of how Crateco's crates deliver value:
Fresh produce distributors use ventilated crates to transport fruits and vegetables. The ventilation keeps producing fresh air and reduces spoilage during transit.
Beverage companies rely on 24-pocket bottle crates to ship beer, soda, or 5-gallon water bottles safely. These crates prevent breakage and simplify manual handling.
Warehouses and logistics centers benefit from nestable crates because they stack when full—and nest inside each other when empty—saving space and reducing shipping costs.
Food manufacturers use closed crates with lids to store baking ingredients, baked goods, or even baked breads. This protects against contamination while enabling reuse over many cycles.
