5 Ways Easycrate Can Make Expos Easier



The coming months are due to see numerous expositions in all different shapes and sizes, but whatever the exposition, and the product or service you are providing, there always remains one universal issue how to get your product, and materials to and from the site of the show. 
The majority of people attending an expo will not only have their product to transport, but will also have marketing materials such as leaflets, posters and freebies, along with technical support such as computers, hand held tablets and overhead projectors that need to be transported to and from the expositions as quickly and efficiently as possible. 
For many companies who’s business activities rarely occur in such a scale or format outside of their office premises this can create a logistical nightmare. 
With numerous items of varying sizes and types, choosing the correct vehicle for the task may not be the only issue faced, in fact choosing the right way to transport the items can be equally crucial. The obvious choice for many would be cardboard boxes; but as these key points explain renting plastic crates can provide many benefits than cardboard boxes cannot. 
Durability and Flexibility: Our crates range from long meter crates to deep computer crates and we offer an array of additional items to help make them as user friendly as possible. There reinforced plastic design also means they can carry far heavier weights than cardboard boxes and are not compromised when wet. 
Security and Tracking: Particularly when at large events, it’s incredibly easy to lose track of boxes and their contents, which, when attending an expo a long way from your place of operation can be a disaster. For this reason we can provide numbered security seals to keep your crates contents protected and labels for you to list and keep track of the items inside. 
Cost Reduction: Although crates are more expensive to buy, they are incredibly cheap to rent, costing as little as a few pence a day. This is far cheaper than a single use cardboard box.
Time Saving: Due to their clever design and high manoeuvrability, our plastic crates are much faster to pack and transport than cardboard boxes. They can easily fit into a car, or be stacked in a van or lorry. We can also provide rubber topped skates or trolleys to help move the crates easily around the site. This is especially true when packing and unpacking computer hardware crucial into our specially designed computer crates that many companies often rely heavily on at expos. Check out this video to see just how fast our crates are to pack. 
Environment Awareness: Our crates are made from recycled materials and will be reused many times in their lifetime, before being recycled once again at the end of their lifecycle. This Reusable Transit Packaging (RTP) solution is much more cost effective than alternative options and also improves companies green credentials.
Most importantly, we can deliver and pick up the crates when and where you want! This means that you won’t have the hassle of finding somewhere to store the crates when not in use.
As a Country which is consistently at the forefront of technological advances replacing the single use cardboard box with plastic crates, something which is commonplace with facilities managers in the West, is the next logical step for Hong Kong.

Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la!


Sorry but we simply couldn’t help ourselves - we’ve refrained from getting into the Christmas spirit for so long that we were fit to burst! We’ve had a little chat in our office and it seems that most of us are going away this Christmas. Some to other areas of Hong Kong whilst some are off in serach of a white Christmas. It would appear however that going away for Christmas poses a little bit of a dilemma – how to transport all those Christmas gifts without the children seeing them, after all it is Santa who’s supposed to be delivering the presents.

Well thanks to our wide range of moving crates, we have the perfect solution. Simply place all your gifts in our opaque reusable plastic crates and close the integrated lid. Your little treasures will never know that all their Christmas presents are inside. The crates make your gifts easy to transport and you can choose the best size to suit your needs.

Our crates aren’t restricted to transporting Christmas presents, they can also be used for easily moving the turkey, veggies or abundance of mince pies too.

Reusable Plastic Crates for Post-Summer Storage


Welcome to September. Although at EasyCrate we welcome autumn with open arms, we’re afraid to see the back of the summer season. Warm temperatures have been replaced by a nip in the air and it’s no longer possible to leave the house without some form of sweater or light jacket in hand. It’s therefore time to switch from your high-summer wardrobe of shorts and swimsuits to your transitional wardrobe which will incorporate jumpers, boots and winter woollies.

There are a range of options for putting your summer clothing into storage for the next year – you can pack them away in boxes, suitcases, vacuum bags or bin bags and store them away in cupboards, the attic, the garage or the basement. However if you want to see your clothes in good condition next year, none of these options are recommended. Boxes and suitcases can let in insects such as moths which can eat away at your clothes whilst both options may also leave you clothing susceptible to mould if they get damp whilst in storage. Vacuum bags won’t let your clothes air and may permanently crease some fabrics whilst bin bags can cause staining on your clothing due to the chemicals used in their production.

To ensure that your clothing comes out of storage ready to wear next summer, we recommend thoroughly cleaning them, rolling them and putting them in our reusable plastic crates. These are durable, feature integrated lids to make them suitable for stacking and are watertight.

At EasyCrate we offer rental crates or crates which can be purchased depending on your needs. For more information or a quote, please contact us.

Rental Crates for Back to School Storage


With August drawing to a close, you will be able to sigh with relief that the school holidays are almost over and your children will shortly be returning to school. You will probably find that you have stock piled an abundance of entertainment tools such as board games, DVDs, computer games, art supplies, reading books and more. When your children return to school, they will probably not have time to enjoy all of these until the next school holidays so it leaves the dilemma of what to do with them.

If you leave them in your home, they will take up valuable cupboard space and be a constant temptation to your children when they are supposed to be doing homework. The solution is to hire some reusable plastic crates. These can be used to store all you unused items and the crates stacked neatly away in your shed, garage or attic until the next school holidays. You can even take the rental crates to a self-storage facility with you to free up even more room in your home if required.
At EasyCrate we offer a range of different sized crates, all of which are stackable thanks to the integrated lids. To find out how much it costs to rent our crates, please contact us.

The Easy Option…


More and more young people like to move to “Tong Lau”, older apartments built between the late 19th Century to the 1960s, for more space and cheaper prices. Though having more character, most of these properties have no escalators. When it comes to moving in or out, there will be lots of staircases to tackle. Ordinary cardboard boxes can easily break while manoeuvring up and down. In contrast, our plastic crates come with lids and strong handles, perfect for moving stuff about without causing damages.

Move Your Office Documents Safely


What kind of box is most suitable to store or move office documents or corporate publications? Not paper cartons of course. These square boxes are not strong or rigid enough to keep your files or reports in good shape. The best option is to hire our plastic crates, that way you can be assured your publications and documents are properly slotted in without causing damages. Our lidded standard crates (635 x 410 x 325) are perfect for fitting two rows of paperwork. They also come with integral handles for easy lifting – far more practical than flimsy cardboard boxes: http://www.easycrate.hk/en/crate-hire

Our Crates are Waterproof unlike boxes


In the rainy season, waterproof goods including containers are a sensible choice. As a designer, delivering works to publishers and clients is probably part of your daily routine. It’s not wise to use ordinary cardboard boxes to transport your work, especially on rainy days. As these boxes are not water proof and rigid enough, prints and publications may get wet, squashed and be ruined. By using our lidded plastic crates, you can be assured that your work is kept dry, mark free and in good condition. Check out our range of crates for hire: http://www.easycrate.hk/en/crate-hire


Choose the Safe Option for Your Items


There are a lot of hilly roads and sharp slopes on Hong Kong Island and the New Territories. If you need to transport fragile, delicate items or foodstuff to areas that are built on steep ground, you will need crates that are strong and sturdy enough to do the job. By hiring our lidded plastic crates from Easycrate, you can be assured that your items will stay securely in place:http://www.easycrate.hk/en/crate-hire


Helpful Services When You Need Them


You may not need to use a secure roll cage for moving fragile and protective items for your office everyday. Yet you may be caught out one day, when you have IT items to move at short notice from A to B. That’s why it’s important you have our phone number and other contact details to hand. At Easycrate, we provide a fast and easy Secure Roll Cage rental service, something that is not widely available in Hong Kong. For more details of our products, take a look at our website:http://www.easycrate.hk/en/crate-hire


A Greener Option


When asking which is greener – plastic or paper, many people would say it’s the latter. It’s understandable, as paper products are generally seen as more environmental friendly. However, when it comes to the entire life of a container product, plastic crates are actually a greener choice. Paper based cardboard boxes contain a lot more greenhouse gases, and the process of making paper products involves an enormous quantity of energy. While reusable plastic crates contribute less solid waste in the landfill and will make more sense in the long run.
