SLC Inlays – The Optimal Solution for Transport and Storage

SLC inserts for transport and storage – Key facts at a glance

• SLCs (small load carriers) are standardised, stackable plastic containers designed for the safe transport and storage of small parts, and are compatible with automated systems.
• SLC inserts secure components, prevent damage, provide ESD protection and organise the interior for more efficient processes.
• SLC inserts are used across a range of industries (automotive, electronics, medical, food) and enhance protection, organisation and efficiency in storage and transport.

What Are SLCs (Small Load Carriers)?

Small load carriers (SLCs) are standardised plastic containers used in logistics and manufacturing for the safe storage and transport of small parts. They are robust, stackable and compatible with automated storage systems. In short: SLC containers or other Euro boxes simplify every logistics process.

Different types of SLC

• R-SLC (Returnable Small Load Carrier) – A sturdy container with a reinforced base, suitable for heavy loads and automated systems.
• E-SLC (Ergonomic Small Load Carrier) – Featuring special handles for easier manual handling.
• RL-SLC (Returnable Lightweight SLC) – A lighter version of the R-SLC for applications with lower load requirements.

SLC inserts: A secure and structured solution for small load carriers

Euronorm containers are often already in use, but problems arise when components are transported in bulk and become damaged. To prevent this, suitable SLC inserts are required to ensure component safety.

What are SLC inserts?

SLC inserts and Inlays are custom-made container inserts, specially developed for SLCs and Euro-norm containers using the Plastic thermoforming process. They ensure the organised, secure storage of components or parts that must not be handled as bulk goods. Container inserts can be used for any components, provided they fit into the recesses of the insert.

Advantages of SLC inserts

Container liners offer numerous advantages in transport and warehousing. These include:

Perfect protection for components

Delicate components require special protection. Thanks to their precise fit, SLC inserts provide optimum support and prevent components from coming into contact with one another or being damaged by movement.

More efficient processes

The use of container inserts simplifies handling in production and logistics. SLC inserts divide the interior into compartments for different components. The clear organisation of components within the SLCs speeds up order picking and assembly, resulting in more efficient processes.

Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD)

For electronic components, ESD-Inserts can be used to protect them from electrostatic discharge. ESD-Protection is particularly essential in the electronics and automotive industries.

Efficient use of space

The precise arrangement of the container inserts ensures that the available space in small load carriers and Euro containers is used to the full.

Typical applications for SLC inserts

SLC inserts are used in many industries. They improve efficiency in warehousing and transport logistics, protect sensitive components and ensure hygienic storage.

SLC inserts in the automotive sector

In the automotive sector, container inserts enable the safe storage and transport of bolts, nuts and other small parts.

SLC inserts for the electronics industry

The electronics industry benefits from custom-made container inserts that protect sensitive components such as circuit boards and microchips from vibration.

Hygiene solutions for the medical technology sector

In the medical field, sterile SLC inserts ensure that instruments are stored hygienically and prevent contamination.

SLC inserts in the food industry

The food industry also relies on special, food-safe container liners that ensure safe and hygienic packaging.
