Returnable bottle crates: the buying brief
Check the crate footprint and its stacking features; a collar must not obstruct interlocking surfaces.
A collar system provides perimeter containment. Bottle protection still depends on cartons, layer support, restraint and the permitted stacking arrangement.

Keep the load and the enclosure separate
A wooden collar provides perimeter containment. The base supports the load and the inner pack controls movement and protection. Confirm all three against the goods rather than transferring a rating from another pallet or box. Use the matching collar product guide to discuss the components offered.
Plan the receiving and return process
For returnable bottle crates, the packing decision starts with this specific check: Check the crate footprint and its stacking features; a collar must not obstruct interlocking surfaces. Agree how the receiver opens the pack and removes the items. Where packaging is returned, record the expected condition of boards, hinges, lid and internal fittings before the set is used again.
