Author: Le Van Thang, Director of ICD Vietnam – 15 years supplying crates to electronics and F&B plants.
ICD Vietnam supplies industrial plastic crates and bins in EU standard modules (300×200, 400×300, 600×400), Korean KS logistics sizes, solid, mesh, lidded and large formats. Materials are PP copolymer, virgin HDPE and ABS, with capacity 5-55 litres, load 15-55 kg and stack load up to 280 kg. EU modules nest onto Euro 1200×800 and US 1200×1000 pallets. Prices from 25,000d. Pair them with plastic pallets for full unit loads.
Choose plastic crates when:
- Picking and internal transfer: hand-carried, stackable boxes that modular-fit your pallet footprint.
- Electronics and precision parts: Korean KS and ABS trays meet multinational supplier requirements.
- Food, produce and chemicals: food-grade PP/HDPE that washes clean and resists chemicals.

2. EU standard crate specifications and price 2026
The EU module system (300×200, 400×300, 600×400 footprints) is the most common, because the boxes nest cleanly onto Euro and US pallets – the 600×400 fits four per layer on a Euro 1200×800 pallet.
| Model | Size (mm) | Capacity | Load | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EU 300-147 | 300x200x147 | 5.7 L | 15 kg | 45,000d |
| EU 400-147 | 400x300x147 | 12.5 L | 25 kg | 125,000d |
| EU 600-147 | 600x400x147 | 26 L | 40 kg | 145,000d |
| EU 600-280 (lidded) | 600x400x280 | 52 L | 55 kg | 185,000d |

3. Korean KS standard – required by Samsung, LG and Foxconn suppliers
If you supply Samsung Display Bac Ninh, LG Display Hai Phong or Foxconn Bac Giang, this section matters more than price. Their inbound warehouses are designed around the Korean KS module (478×378 mm), not the EU module – delivering parts in EU 400×300 boxes can get a shipment rejected at goods-in because the totes do not seat in their racking and AGV systems.
ICD supplies KS-format logistics boxes (e.g. 478x378x103 and 478x378x150) in ABS and PP for SMT, PCB, camera-module and precision-mechanical parts, compatible with Korean 1100×1100 and Japanese T-11 pallets. Confirm your customer’s required module before ordering: KS for Korean-system plants, EU for general logistics. For loose components use a component tray.
4. Material: PP vs HDPE vs ABS
| Criterion | PP copolymer | Virgin HDPE | ABS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Working temperature | -20C to 100C | -40C to 80C | -20C to 85C |
| Wash at 85C | Yes | No – warps | Yes |
| Deep freeze -25C | No – brittle | Yes | No – brittle |
| Chemical resistance | Medium | Very good | Poor |
| Food-grade FDA | Yes (common) | Yes | Rare |
| Best use | General logistics, food | Chemicals, freezer | Precision trays |
5. Frequently asked questions
1. EU module or Korean KS – which do I need?
KS (478×378) if you supply Samsung/LG/Foxconn-system plants; their warehouses reject EU boxes. EU (300/400/600) for general logistics and Euro-pallet stacking.
2. PP, HDPE or ABS?
PP for general logistics and food (washable to 85C, FDA). HDPE for chemicals and deep freeze (-40C). ABS for precision technical trays.
3. Do crates stack on pallets?
Yes – EU 600×400 fits four per layer on a Euro 1200×800 pallet; KS suits Korean 1100×1100 and Japanese T-11.
4. What load do crates carry?
Contents 15-55 kg and stack load 60-280 kg by size. Lidded boxes stack higher safely.
5. Are they food-grade?
PP and virgin HDPE are FDA food-grade and washable. Confirm the grade for your audit.
