Octabins for sale: what are they exactly?

Octabins are octagonal (8-sided) cardboard boxes that usually come with a base and lid, and are used for bulky products like granulated plastic or animal feed.

The eight-sided design provides a strong structure that is more suited to loose items. For example, a bag of gravel would be much better suited to an octabin than a regular 4-sided pallet box, because with a pallet box, the product would not as easily spread out into the corners and used the space efficiently. With eight sides, the octobin is better able to accommodate loose produce, bags of building materials or heavy/bulky things like car parts or machinery spares.

What size is an octabin?

Octabin dimensions can vary, but looking at our octabins for sale, as well as ones we have sold in the past, the average size stands around 1150mm x 1000mm x 1200mm which is length, width and height. There is no standard width of an octagon box as many people ask, but an average width would be around 1000mm.

Can you get octabins on a pallet?

Yes, octabins are designed to go on a pallet. A pallet measuring 1200mm x 1000mm would be an ideal size for the average octabin, but check dimensions of your octabin packaging before buying the appropriate pallets. 

How strong are octabins?

Most octabins are double wall or tri-wall, making them strong and durable. The bases and lids ensure that the eight-sided sleeves are secured at the top and bottom which helps with storage and transportation.
