A collapsible tray refers to a tray that can be folded or disassembled, commonly used in logistics transportation, warehousing, and display. Common materials include plastic, metal, or cardboard. Its core feature is that it can be folded when empty to save space, reduce return transportation costs, and improve loading efficiency. Use scenarios include: turnover of export goods, supermarket display, production line material handling, etc. Precautions: the folded dimensions, load-bearing capacity, material, and durability must be clearly specified; if used for export, it is necessary to confirm whether it meets the quarantine requirements of the destination country (e.g., wooden pallets require fumigation). The difference from ordinary pallets lies in the space and cost advantages brought by collapsibility; the difference from disposable pallets lies in reusability. In foreign trade contracts, the specific specifications, folding method, and packaging requirements of collapsible trays should be stated to avoid disputes caused by unclear descriptions.
