Monoflo Attached Lid Plastic Containers Reusable Stack Nest Totes

Monoflo Attached Lid Plastic Containers | Reusable Stack-Nest Totes for Secure Logistics & Distribution

Monoflo DC Series containers are reusable, attached-lid totes that stack securely when loaded and nest compactly when empty. The integrated lid stays permanently with the container, eliminating lost or mismatched lids throughout the distribution cycle. Multi-fingered lid engagement keeps contents secure during conveyor handling, cross-dock transfers, and store delivery without additional sealing steps.

A traction bottom supports stable movement on conveyors and reduces sliding during merges and diverts. Solid nesting stops increase empty stack height and prevent wedging when totes are returned empty. Textured label panels on all models support identification and routing across pick, pack, sort, and staging operations.

Thirteen models are available in footprints from 19.6" to 28.1" long and 7.3" to 17.2" deep. Hinge pin material is plastic on most models and metal on three higher-cycle models. Prices are shown by manufacturer model number for straightforward competitor comparison.

Choosing the Right Model:

Select the outside footprint that fits your conveyor, sortation system, vehicle, or rack configuration, then choose the depth based on your typical load height.

Small Footprint -- approx. 19.6" x 11.6" outside:
♦ DC2012-07 SP -- 7.3" deep, 16.5" x 8.7" inside, plastic hinge. Compact, attached-lid tote for smaller loads and tight conveyor widths.

Mid Footprint -- approx. 21.9" x 15" outside:
♦ DC2115-09 SP -- 9.7" deep, 18.9" x 12" inside, plastic hinge. Standard depth for most general distribution applications in this footprint.
♦ DC2115-09 HP -- 9.5" deep, 19.1" x 13.2" inside, plastic hinge. Slightly wider inside dimension than the SP model at the same depth. Choose based on your load width requirement.
♦ DC2115-12SP -- 12.8" deep, 18.9" x 12.7" inside, plastic hinge. Added depth for taller loads. Verify pricing against your Monoflo price sheet before ordering.
♦ DC2115-12HP -- 12.8" deep, 18.6" x 12.8" inside, plastic hinge. Same depth as the 12SP with slightly different inside dimensions. Verify pricing before ordering.
♦ DC2115-17HP -- 17.2" deep, 18.6" x 13" inside, plastic hinge. Deepest model in the 21.9" footprint. Best for tall loads or high-volume picks per tote.

Narrow-Long Footprint -- approx. 22.3" x 13" outside:
♦ DC2213-12 SP -- 13.4" deep, 18.9" x 10.9" inside, plastic hinge. Narrower footprint for applications where width is constrained but depth capacity is needed.

Extended Footprints:
♦ DC2515-14 SP -- 25.3" x 16.3" outside, 13.9" deep, 22" x 13.3" inside, plastic hinge. Larger format for higher-volume loads or operations consolidating more product per tote.
♦ DC2717-12 SP -- 27.3" x 17.2" outside, 12.6" deep, 23.7" x 13.9" inside, plastic hinge. Wide format for broad loads or operations requiring more lateral space per tote.
♦ DC2820-15 HP -- 28.1" x 20.8" outside, 15.6" deep, 25" x 18" inside, plastic hinge. Largest model on this page. Best for the highest volume per tote in high-throughput distribution operations.

Metal Hinge Pin Models:
♦ DC1813-15 SM -- 17.4" x 12.9" outside, 13.6" deep, 14" x 10.5" inside, metal hinge. Metal hinge pin provides added durability for higher-cycle or heavier-use applications. SM configuration.
♦ DC1813-15-HM -- Same outside and inside dimensions as the SM model, metal hinge. HM configuration. Contact us to confirm the specific difference between SM and HM variants for this footprint before ordering.
♦ DC2420-12-SM -- 23.8" x 19.2" outside, 12.5" deep, 20.5" x 16.5" inside, metal hinge. Larger metal hinge model for high-cycle distribution programs requiring added hinge durability.

Plastic vs. Metal Hinge Pin -- Which Is Right for Your Operation:

Most models use a plastic hinge pin, which provides reliable performance in standard distribution, fulfillment, and retail replenishment cycles. Metal hinge pin models (DC1813-15 SM, DC1813-15-HM, and DC2420-12-SM) are designed for operations with higher daily cycle counts or heavier loads where the hinge is subject to more stress over time. If your containers are opened and closed dozens of times per shift or consistently carry heavy loads, the metal hinge models are worth evaluating for a longer service life. Contact us if you need help determining which hinge type fits your workload.

Where Monoflo Attached Lid Totes Are Most Commonly Used:

♦ Retail replenishment and store delivery -- Attached lids keep contents secure from DC to store shelf. The stack-nest design reduces empty return cubes on backhaul trips, lowering freight cost per cycle.
♦ E-commerce fulfillment -- Consistent footprints and secure lids support conveyor sortation and automated handling systems. Traction bottoms reduce movement on high-speed conveyors.
♦ Third-party logistics and cross-dock operations -- Durable reusable construction holds up through repeated handling cycles across multiple customers and facilities without the consistency failures of corrugated cartons.
♦ Closed-loop distribution programs -- When totes cycle between a fixed set of origins and destinations, their reusable construction and attached lids eliminate packaging procurement, waste, and lid-management costs associated with disposable alternatives.
