CBS Freezer Racks


What are the Advantages of a Plastic Box Versus a Cardboard Box, Including Weight Difference?

PLASTIC BOXES

» Plastic boxes are sturdy and will seldom need to be replaced.
» Plastic boxes have numbered cells so product that is stored is easy to locate.
» Plastic boxes have builit-in dividers.

CARDBOARD BOXES

» The freezing environment can damage cardboard boxes. Snow, created by the cold, can attach
    to the box and melt when the box is removed from the freezer. If melting snow does occur,
    the water wil weaken the cardboard. Damaged cardboard boxes must be replaced.
» Cardboard boxes do not have numbered cells, reducing ease of product location.
» Dividers must be purchased for cardboard boxes.
