Dairy

The dairy industry relies on an effective and on-demand supply chain to ensure the quality and freshness of its products while meeting consumer demand. However, not all milk crates are created equal. For over 100 years, Rehrig Pacific has pioneered innovations for the dairy industry, gaining a deep understanding of its unique requirements and challenges. As pioneers in manufacturing the plastic dairy crate, we are recognized for our innovation in this field, optimizing supply chain efficiency, supporting sustainability efforts, and helping our partners transport fluid milk safely.

Dairy Supply Chain Solutions

Preserving quality and freshness while remaining cost-effective is essential in the dairy industry, which is why we ensure your products move from truck to cooler safely, quickly, and efficiently. We set the industry standard with our durable, high-quality plastic products crafted from 100% recyclable, FDA-compliant materials and designed to withstand the demands of dairy production, transportation, and storage.

Our products have a lifespan that exceeds competing brands by 2.5 times and comply with FSMA standards, demonstrating our commitment to reusability, efficiency, and reliability in the circular economy.

Sustainable Solutions for the Dairy Industry 

We are dedicated to helping our customers achieve their environmental objectives without compromising product quality or durability. Our range of sustainable packaging for dairy products, including dairy crates, trays, and plastic pallets, are designed to be 100% recyclable and reusable, incorporating post-consumer content to ensure they can be recycled at the end of their life cycle. Unlike single-use packaging, our plastic products offer a sustainable alternative by enabling multiple uses and significantly reducing waste. Additionally, our products are optimized for transportation efficiency, allowing for more items to be loaded per truckload and thereby reducing carbon emissions.

Shorter Freight Lanes

With eight strategic locations across North America, Rehrig Pacific minimizes freight distances. This proximity ensures your products are delivered exactly when you need them. By storing products in-house and providing these short freight lanes, we guarantee a reliable supply and timely shipment.

Enhanced Transparency

Secure delivery is critical in the dairy industry, especially when plastic shipping crates are highly susceptible to loss or theft. To address this, we provide our partners with control over their assets and deliveries through our innovative RFID tracking and traceability technology, significantly improving efficiency, security, and cost-effectiveness.

Improved Safety & Sanitation

Our innovative plastic products offer significant advantages over traditional wooden alternatives by providing protection against moisture and harmful bacteria. Designed for easy sanitation, our plastic milk crates and pallets meet the dairy industry's stringent hygiene standards. Their enhanced durability ensures long-term reliability, while their ergonomic design reduces the risk of injuries.
