The original, patented returnable Clip-Lok transport box consists of plywood panels held together with our original, detachable spring steel clips.
The flat-packed transport box is easily assembled without use of any tools, and once assembled, the wooden crate is strong enough to be stacked up to 7 high. The reusable transport box can be flat-packed after use and will then take up close to 80% less space, thus minimising return costs.
Clip-Lok returnable transport boxes save time and money, while contributing to a greener environment.
Clip-Lok SimPak transport boxes are designed and built to optimise the supply chain cost and secure the product inside. By the help of our 3D design technology we design a shipping box that meets all specified requirements while taking into account product, packaging process at both ends, handling, transportation, and storage. The strength and flexibility of the Clip-Lok box and the customised dunnage ensure that items inside are transported safely and at the lowest possible cost.
Since the introduction of the Clip-Lok reusable and collapsible wooden shipping crates, hundreds of thousands of returnable units have been produced and shipped all over the world. The customised packaging design and the tailor-made dunnage of transport boxes serves to optimise supply chain cost, since the goods in the box are packed more effectively and the box can be reused multiple times, up to 400 circles. Although, the versatility and durability of the box have exceeded many of our customer expectations, meanwhile the wooden shipping box is a sustainable packaging solution for the supply chain.

PACK MORE EFFICIENTLY
By optimising packaging helps to save space, reduced space in supply chain helps to optimise logistics cost. At Clip-Lok SimPak we know from experience that our customers can pack more efficiently if the dunnage is well designed and meets their transportation demands and specifications. Our engineers will work closely with customer and products to fulfil the need for safe and rational packaging. With the 3D design technology and our development team we design the reusable transport box and dunnage that will transport products safely through the supply chain.
DUNNAGE
No matter whether you choose a returnable box, a patented 2P box or an expendable box, the dunnage is important to ensure cost-effective packaging with maximum protection and stabilisation of your products all the way through the supply chain. We constantly develop creative additions to our range of designs and materials; and we construct the customised dunnage from a wide range of materials. When you choose well-designed dunnage to protect your items, you also optimise space usage.
SAFE & SECURE
Heavy or delicate products that can be scratched or break need to be securely packed to ensure safe delivery. We offer you dunnage based on your requirements. For you to feel confident that our boxes meet your exact requirements, we can assist in setting up performance testing such as weather-resistance, vibration, drop and pressure tests, etc.

SPRING STEEL CLIPS
Clip-Lok clips are made to exact specifications to ensure that they can be used repeatedly over many years, securing the integrity of the strength of the reusable Clip-Lok box.
The Clip-Lok clip is made of the highest quality spring steel with 100% elastic behavior and a tensile strength across the clips of up to 11,000 kg depending on the type of clip. The clips are surface protected with a high quality coating.
In accordance with ASTM B117, the clips can withstand a salt spray test for more than 250 hours. In addition, they have been tested and approved for extreme weather conditions ranging from arctic cold to jungle heat.
FLAT PACKED
Once unpacked, the containers can be collapsed and stored flat. All components of a collapsed returnable Clip-Lok box are contained in one unit. The original reusable box can be assembled or dismantled by only one person in less than three minutes. The height of a collapsed box, including a pallet, is 170-220 mm depending on specifications. The compact size reduces space and allows more boxes to be returned in a single shipment, which reduces logistics costs. The collapsible boxes take up a minimum of storage space.
PALLETS
No matter whether you need a two- or four-way pallet, Clip-Lok will design it to match your needs. Our pallet bases are produced in plywood as they are an integrated part of the box.
