Euro stacking containers, often known as euro containers or euro boxes are plastic containers with or without lids, manufactured to a european standard footprint size of 400x300mm, 600x400mm or 800x600mm.

The ability to stack is key for Euro stacking containers as they are commonly used for storage and distribution purposes. Designed to utilise as much of the available space as possible the plastic trays work well with euro plastic pallets, or euro pallets. Euro pallets have a standard size of 1200 x 800mm or 800 x 600mm and so the 600x400 Euro containers are able to stack efficiently onto them without any wasted space.
