The collaboration first decided to improve some of the existing containers, so that they can be reused. However, after several tests, this possibility was discarded due to the little practicality of the idea.
After presenting a variety of prototypes, the companies finalised the creation of a non-folding Tecnipack container, which is reinforced with metal sheets at the bottom.
The polythene (PP) cover system with the three-quarters opening was also incorporated in the container to accommodate all kinds of pallet available in the market.
The companies also used the advanced material to ensure the container's interior remains in good condition during journeys.
