|---|---|---|---|---|
| Broiler | 4–6 lbs | 6–10 | 600×400×280mm | High vent, lightweight |
| Heavy broiler | 7–10 lbs | 4–6 | 700×500×320mm | Higher structural rating |
| Spent layer | 3–5 lbs | 8–12 | 600×400×250mm | Gentle handling |
| Turkey | 20–40 lbs | 2–4 | 800×600×400mm | Wide opening, high rating |
| Duck | 5–8 lbs | 6–8 | 650×450×280mm | Drain points for wet birds |
Turkey transport requires larger boxes and higher structural ratings — a 40-lb bird in a 4-bird box equals 160 lbs plus box weight. Elipacko 800×600×400mm turkey boxes have a wide top opening for easy loading and a higher structural rating for the greater per-box load.
800×600×400mm standard for 20–40 lb birds, 2–4 birds per box.
600×400×280mm standard for 4–6 lb birds at 6–10 per crate.
Yes. Duck-specific boxes with drain points for wet birds are available. 650×450×280mm standard configuration.
Yes. PP is exempt from ISPM-15.

Polypropylene corrugated poultry boxes represent the most significant upgrade available to procurement teams still running single-use cardboard. The material is waterproof, structurally consistent, forklift-compatible, and designed for 50-100 reuse cycles. For industries in poultry processing, meat packing, food distribution, the switch from cardboard to PP corrugated typically pays for itself within one production season.
This guide covers everything buyers need to know about sourcing, specifying, and getting maximum value from poultry boxes: material specs, industry applications, import duty considerations, and how to evaluate suppliers in a market full of resellers moving low-quality imports.
The comparison between PP corrugated and cardboard isn't close in any environment where moisture, temperature variation, repeated use, or forklift handling is involved. Here's the breakdown:
| Property | PP Corrugated | Cardboard |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | 100% waterproof | Fails rapidly |
| Reuse cycles | 50-100 | 1 |
| Forklift compatible | Yes (designed for it) | Limited, degrades fast |
| Cleanable | Fully washable | No |
| Food-grade options | FDA 21 CFR compliant | Limited |
| ISPM-15 required | No | No (but wood components do) |
Choosing the right poultry boxes requires matching wall thickness, flute profile, and resin grade to your specific application. Key specifications:
