AGRICULTURAL PACKAGING.

PLAFORM® CORRUGATED CARDBOARD TRAYS.

We are the Association of Spanish Corrugated Board Producers "Asociación Española de Cartón Ondulado" (AFCO). Under the name of PLAFORM® we have developed a special tray for transport packaging of fruit and produce.This tray is delivered to customers (packers) flat. It is erected just before use by our patented set-up machines. We only use virgin fiber board to ensure perfect hygiene and sanitation. In Europe we have been selling approximately 500 million trays per year for many years in various countries with agricultural exports. Half of them are sold here in Spain. We also export to South America (Argentina, Brasil, Chile) from manufacturing facilities in the Canary Islands. The trays enjoy a very high market acceptance.

Here is a typical tray for 15 kilos of oranges. The basic dimensions are 400 x 600 mm and subdivisions of 300 x 400 mm and 200 x 300 mm. Also 300 x 500 mm. Heights vary with the contents. Maximum contents are 20 kilos. The trays will fit the typical Euro-Pallet of 800 x 1,200 mm and also the industrial pallet of 1,000 x 1,200 mm.

We also issue a quarterly magazine, PLAFORM-PRESS. This magazine is in Spanish with a synopsis in English on each page. We distribute this magazine free of charge to qualified growers and packers anywhere in the world. Here are some pictures of the magazine:
