recyclable products that are compatible with all other
collapsible and stack-only containers. Developed
specifically for Nor th American shipping standards,
our CF containers not only reduce return shipping
costs, but are as strong as they are lightweight.

Krypto-Lite™
Crafted from 100% recycled materials, Kr ypto-Lite™
exhibits the strength, rigidity and deflection performance
of mid-duty 4845 pallets, but with 25% less weight. Under
32 pounds, it can be lifted via molded-in hand holes by a
single worker, yet offers superior impact resistance.

for mixed loads and storage.
Limitations: MultiStac™ on a bulk box cannot accept a
load of palletized bins, and it should never be used on
top of a steel rack.

ENGINEERING
When it comes to product protection and material
handling, one solution rarely fits any application.
Our design engineers have decades of experience
developing custom packaging solutions tailored to
your specific needs. We can modify existing packaging
to reduce costs and minimize packaging waste.
Using customer-provided mathematical data and/or
physical par ts, our designers create custom packaging
concepts utilizing state-of-the-ar t 3-D solid modeling
software. Once the concept is approved, we develop
a physical prototype to ensure par ts fit properly, are
protected, and all ergonomic parameters are met.
Each prototype is built to withstand rugged testing,
both in the laborator y, a plant environment and during
over-the-road transit trials, so you can fully evaluate
its effectiveness.
Our prototype production process includes:
• Consultation with an experienced packaging specialist
to determine precise needs and objectives
• Custom design concepts presented in 3-D solid modeling
to encourage customer feedback and discussion
• Development of a high-quality prototype which can be
evaluated and tested in real life situations, laboratory
simulations, and shipping trials
• Quality checks and inspections performed throughout
the manufacturing process
• Follow-up product review with our packaging specialist
to ensure customer satisfaction

Whether you require shock or vibration protection,
part separation, specific orientation for class “A”
parts or electrostatic discharge protection, Schaefer
can meet your needs. Our engineers have extensive
experience in custom designing dunnage for specific
products and handling requirements. Crafted using
a wide array of materials such as plastic corrugated
sheeting, polyethylene and cross-linked foams, highdensity polyethylene sheet and assor ted laminations,
custom dunnage can save on packaging costs. In
addition, turnkey interior packaging protects fragile
and unusually shaped par ts from damage during
transit and maximizes shipping space.

Total integrated system design has made Schaefer an
international leader in returnable packaging solutions.
We’re dedicated to efficient designs with the built-in
capability for a fully integrated line of products.
Our packaging systems offer broad flexibility and
lay the groundwork for future expansion without
the need to retool or replace system components.
Our containers interface with the latest automated
materials handling systems, as well as containers that
are ergonomically designed for manual handling. In
addition, we use sustainable production methods and
resources to develop products that not only include
recyclable materials, but that can be fully recycled
themselves for zero waste.
