Fish Totes & Corrugated Plastic Seafood Boxes That Don't Quit in Melt Water

Waxed fish boxes fail when soaked and cost extra to landfill. Our polypropylene corrugated fish totes and one-way seafood shipping boxes are 100% waterproof, leakproof at the seams, safe under top ice and brine, reusable trip after trip — and made with FDA food-grade virgin PP in our own plants.

Built for fresh & frozen seafood logistics

From processing line to airport or reefer — one material that shrugs off water instead of soaking it up.

One-way shipping boxes

Corrugated plastic seafood boxes with leakproof folded or welded seams for fresh fish, fillets and shellfish. Print your brand on the long panels.

Stackable fish totes

Open-top commercial fish totes for processing, gutting and staging lines. Nest or stack, hose-down clean, sized to your line.

Insulated combinations

PP outer + EPS or PE-foam liner for air-freight programs — rigid, light, and dry on arrival, replacing waxed master cartons.

Layer pads & dividers

Food-grade PP layer pads and dividers for totes, crab and lobster shipments, and mixed pallets.

PP fish totes vs. waxed cardboard boxes

Per-trip economics, not per-box price, is where plastic wins for seafood.

Waxed cardboard fish boxFuxing PP fish tote / box
Water & brineSoftens when saturated, fails under top iceUnaffected — 100% waterproof polymer
Stacking wetCompression drops sharply when wetCompression holds at 90%+ humidity
TripsSingle useReusable 5–10 trips as a returnable container
End of lifeWax coating blocks recycling; landfill surcharges in many U.S. statesRecyclable as PP (#5)
HygieneAbsorbs fluids and odorsNon-absorbent, hose-down washable

Typical program result: lower cost per trip after 2–3 reuses, plus the disposal fees you stop paying on wax boxes. Ask us for the calculator with your volumes.

Fuxing Davao plant aerial view, Philippines — seafood box production

2026 U.S. duties changed the sourcing math

  • U.S. AD/CVD orders now hit PP corrugated boxes from China (~146%) and Vietnam (130.58%) — seafood boxes in scope included
  • Our Manila & Davao plants are outside those orders: Philippine origin enters at 0% AD/CVD
  • 19% U.S. reciprocal tariff and normal HTSUS duty still apply — we quote true landed cost per origin
  • Philippine certificate of origin + plant production records with every shipment
  • Same tooling, resin and QC across all our plants — SGS audited, ISO 9001/14001

FAQ

What seafood processors and distributors ask us first

Why replace waxed fish boxes with corrugated plastic totes?

Waxed boxes fail when saturated, can't be recycled in most U.S. programs and often carry disposal surcharges. PP fish totes are waterproof, stack safely wet, reuse multiple trips and recycle as PP at end of life.

Are the totes food-grade?

Yes — virgin PP compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 for direct food contact, with certificates and migration test reports available.

What formats do you make?

One-way leakproof shipping boxes, stackable open-top totes, insulated PP+foam combinations for air freight, and layer pads/dividers. Wall 2–12 mm, footprints matched to your pallets.

Do the U.S. antidumping duties affect seafood boxes?

Yes — the 2026 orders cover PP corrugated boxes from China and Vietnam, seafood formats included. Our Philippine plants are outside the orders (0% AD/CVD; the 19% reciprocal tariff and normal duty still apply — confirm treatment with your customs broker).
