• Reduced weight, more than 68% lower than existing steel boxes. E.g. Packaging weight for 1.000.000 rounds 12.7(0.50 cal.) will be reduced by 16,5 tons!
• Improved stacking capability which allowing cross stacking both 90⁰ and vertical stacking
• Improved thermal capability, with reduced heat transfer
• Prepared for built-in RFID tags for tracking and controlling
• Low noise during handling and contact with steel surfaces
• No risk of sparks
• Fully compatible with existing steel boxes
