Akro-Mils Stack and Nest Plastic Containers | HDPE Reusable Totes

Akro-Mils stack and nest containers are reusable HDPE totes that stack securely when loaded and nest compactly when empty. The stack position protects contents and keeps storage organized during picking, staging, and internal transport. The nest position reduces empty container footprint by roughly half, cutting the space required for return trips, empty storage lanes, and trailer backhaul.

HDPE construction resists chemicals, corrosion, and warping in demanding industrial environments. Most models offer multiple color options, supporting visual organization by department, shift, product type, or priority without additional labeling.

Nine models are available in footprints from 18" to 29.5" long and 6" to 15" deep. All are sold by carton of three or six.

Where Akro-Mils Stack and Nest Containers Are Most Commonly Used:

♦ Internal transfer and work-in-process -- Move components and subassemblies between work cells in a consistent, reusable container. Stacking keeps loads stable on carts and conveyors. Nesting reclaims floor space when empties accumulate at the line.
♦ Warehouse storage and order picking -- Stack on shelves and in racks during storage. Nest when empty to free space in staging lanes and on return carts.
♦ Closed-loop and returnable shipping -- Reusable HDPE construction withstands repeated handling cycles. Nesting on the return trip reduces trailer cube and lowers freight cost per cycle compared to shipping empties stacked full height.
♦ Retail replenishment and distribution -- Consistent footprints and stable stacking support carts, pallets, and store delivery programs where container uniformity speeds loading, unloading, and putaway.
