Fresh produce is fragile and perishable, so the bin you pick, store and transport it in directly affects shelf life and waste. Vented, food-grade pallet bins keep airflow up and damage down. Here’s how to choose, and what Nally Bin stocks for growers and packers.
Why ventilation matters
Fruit and vegetables continue to respire after harvest, giving off heat and moisture. Trapped heat accelerates ripening and spoilage. The perforated BP 1-2R pallet box has vented walls that let air move through the load, helping field heat escape and keeping produce fresher for longer in the cool room.
- Perforated walls for airflow and faster cooling
- Smooth interior reduces bruising and damage
- Food-grade HDPE — safe for direct produce contact
- Easy to wash between crops for packing-shed hygiene
- 700 L on a standard 1200 × 1000 mm footprint
From paddock to packing shed
The same bin works across the whole flow: picking in the field, transport to the shed, cool storage, and dispatch. Because they’re stackable and use a standard footprint, they integrate with racking, forklifts and trucks without re-handling product into different containers.

When to choose solid walls instead
Some produce — washed root vegetables, anything packed with ice, or liquids — is better in the solid wall BP 2-2R, which contains moisture and run-off. A BPL 1 lid fits both models for stacking and protection. If you also handle seafood, see our seafood storage guide.
Hygiene and food safety
HDPE is non-porous and doesn’t absorb moisture or odours, so bins clean up quickly and fit a HACCP-based cleaning routine. There are no splinters or timber grain to harbour bacteria. Ready to set up for the season? Request a quote or message us on WhatsApp.
