Specialist solutions for retailers looking to move
The high street is lined with an extensive range of big-name stores competing to create an enjoyable and memorable experience for customers. As well as creating eye-catching window displays and stocking up on a comprehensive range of bestselling items, those who manage shops and department stores need to consider the impact that returnable transit packaging has on its retail supply chain.
Removing the stress out of moving for the retail sector
phs Teacrate help stores by providing a supply of hire crates and related containers for storage and distribution and an RTP solution to fit your business need. Our huge range of industry standard plastic packing crates ensure your products are kept safe and clean while helping to prevent shop floors from becoming unorganised. Specialised IT crates are also available to help office staff easily move their equipment for example during a premises change.
Keep track of everything with barcode tracking
Teachers and lecturers accumulate a lot of important and confidential documents over the course of the academic year, so we know how important it is to you to keep track of your records. As the first crate hire company to introduce barcoded crates, we are the specialists in tracking and tracing boxes in a user friendly way, while also avoiding the durability and disposal issues found with cardboard boxes. Marking every individual crate ready for the big move can be time consuming. As one of the most trusted providers of business-move equipment in the UK, we developed a barcoding tracking service for crate labels, skates and cages. This technology allows for better crate management through effective tracking and traceability, with information available in real time, and eliminates unnecessary or unbudgeted costs for schools and universities. This system tracks each individual crate, identifying the location to help prevent loss, ensuring that your belongings arrive at the correct location.
phs Teacrate also understands that shops want to keep costs down to increase customer satisfaction and limit their impact on the environment. With a range of plastic removal crates, related products such as crate labels, bubble wrap, skates, etc, and related removal services that help to save on your waste disposal costs, choosing us as your supplier could help you have a lower cost output than single use packaging products.
Plastic containers and stackable crates also have a significantly lower carbon footprint than cardboard boxes and similar equivalents. Re-usable plastic containers have a lifespan of many years and at the end of their life, can be recycled into new plastic containers.
Crate Rental
Specialising in the supply of containers for storage and distribution, our range of plastic moving containers are reusable and provides an RTP solution to fit any business need. With ergonomic handles, smooth surfaces and rounded corners, plastic containers present a low risk of injury to operatives. Unlike cardboard boxes, plastic containers are also specially designed for secure stacking when in storage and transit. We can provide timed deliveries, same day and emergency deliveries, and totes always arrive clean and ready for immediate use.
Wash Service
We have two crate washing sites located in the UK both of which are equipped with modern state-of-the-art facilities. They both house several industrial wash lines with the capabilities to clean a wide range of types of returnable packaging equipment, including lidded crates, unlidded crates, plastic trays, tote boxes, pallet boxes and plastic pallets. We also provide de-labelling of old barcode stickers and removal of glue residue from the totes on a regular basis, and secure storage and next day delivery are both available. This removes the hassle of having to do it yourselves and ensuring your boxes are cleaned to your exact requirements. We'll build our wide selection of products and services around you to ensure that you're getting the best value for money.
As the leading crate hire company and #1 provider of plastic storage crates in the UK, we deliver over 9 million lidded crates and other specialist rental crates every year, and with full geographical coverage in the UK and Ireland, you can be sure we have the perfect solution for your business.
