SpaceKraft® adds value to global shipping
Exporters worldwide see the value in SpaceKraft. The container is widely used for global shipping. It is ideal for one-way
shipments where environmental regulations are strict and disposal is costly.


The cubic shape of SpaceKraft containers allow up to 25% more product volume than drums in the same amount of space! For example, a 20-foot export container will carry 4,163 Litres (1,100 gallons) more product when 20 SpaceKraft with 1040 Litre (275 gallon) containers are used, compared to 80 drums with 208 Litre (55 gallon) capacity.
A 40-foot export container will carry up to 288 SpaceKraft sleeves. Shipping empty SpaceKraft sleeves around the globe can be cost effective.

SpaceKraft® containers provide simple disposal options
SpaceKraft takes the hassle out of materials handling and disposal compared to other bulk packaging options.
- There is no need to store used empty containers.
- There is no labor and no added expense required to administer a return program for empty drums and bottle-in-cage units.
- There is no need to use harsh chemicals or clean and rinse a SpaceKraft container.
- There are no ‘heel charges.’
There are downstream benefits to you and your customers.
- The outer sleeve is made of a renewable source and is recyclable.
- The inner liner is recyclable or disposable.
- The pallet is reusable.
Sustainable and Strong.
The SpaceKraft containers are engineered to bring sustainability into your bulk packaging program. The sleeve is composed of renewable fiber, 100% of which is sourced through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) certified procurement system. SFI certification also ensures best-practice harvesting methods are used to protect air, water, soils and wildlife, and that no fibre comes from endangered forests.
The SpaceKraft liners use about one-ninth of the plastic resin that a bottle-in-cage uses. There is no metal or reinforcing tape in the SpaceKraft container. The SpaceKraft container employs sustainable resources wisely – creating a smaller environmental footprint.
Unlike traditional drums and other types of returnable and rigid intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), the SpaceKraft system offers you and your customers a recyclable container. In addition, the sleeve, liner and pallet components are accepted as municipal waste and acceptable as waste to energy feedstock.
SpaceKraft containers are a viable replacement for drums and bottle-in-cage bulk packaging because they can
- save money.
- save time.
- save freight.
- save labor.
