Plastor is pleased to announce the launch of a brand new website!

Existing customer notice: If you have an account on our old website then your password may no longer work. Please attempt to login and click 'Forgotten Password' - follow the very simple and brief instructions and you will be sent a link to update your password.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our brand new Plastor website! The new site has been designed to vastly improve our visitor/customer experience and allow Plastor to remain future proof in the fast paced world of e-commerce.

Visitors, customers and even staff are now able to navigate and find the products they're looking for with far more ease via improved search and filtering functions. With thousands of plastic containers and storage products available in a variety of combinations it can be an overwhelming experience and we have worked hard with our design agencies to give visitors and customers better results when using the website as their plastic container and storage product sourcing tool. So what's new?

  • We have improved the standard search bar and the results it produces
  • Crate Finder - do you know the size you need? Then give our new crate finder a try. You are able to search from a choice of internal and external sizes and litre capacities. You can fill in all the fields or just one! There are size thresholds for each search field too so products of a similar size may appear just in case they may be suitable. If you don't get a result then please do not think we cannot help you - simply contact us and we'll do our very best to find you a product suitable for your requirements!
  • Sticky Bar - The blue bar at the top of the page scrolls with you as you navigate the site. This bar gives you a direct link back to our shop page and displays our main phone number just in case you want to call for assistance (the Plastor team would love to speak to you).
  • Picture based menu on the homepage - What is a Euro container? What is a Plastic Crate or Attached Lid Container? Many people don't know the difference so we have tried to make it easy by offering images associated with our categories and subcategories.
  • Filters - filter through ranges to find the sizes, capacities and colours you need.
  • Archives - Have you ordered from us in the past and can't find a product on our website? There's a chance the product is no longer available or isn't readily available from stock and instead of simply deleting it we have archived it away from our main navigation. Try entering the code into our search bar and it will hopefully appear with the information you require and should even suggest an alternative product. If you still cannot find the item you're looking for then there's no better way to find out more than to give us a call or send us a message.
  • Related products - our related products section is at the bottom of each product page. This section may suggest products of a similar size (sometimes saving you money!) and will also feature accessories that are associated with the product you are viewing.
  • Video - many of our product videos are still in development but each product page has the ability to feature a video showing you the benefits and how they work.
  • Responsive - our website is compatible with most devices, such as phones, tablets and desktop computers.
  • Better quantity discounts - at Plastor we are best known for selling boxes in bulk and our order quantity discounts are now displayed and can be managed far easier than before. Don't forget - if you have a requirement for a large amount of boxes then call us for a firm quote!
  • Blog - we are now able to create articles relevant to our products and offerings to help you make decisions as well as explain how some of our fantastic services work too. We will also be posting company based news and a number of fun articles and case studies.
  • Branding - When Plastor launched their previous website in 2012 it was the benchmark for many other plastic container and storage product suppliers, many of which soon followed suit and replicated much of Plastor's format. This meant that it was harder to distinguish between competitor sites especially when colour schemes were similar. We have now introduced more colour and simplicity into our branding to help modernise and distinguish us against our competitors and give our customers confidence that they're purchasing from best possible resource when buying online.

As with all websites there's still work to be done and we already have phase 2 of our improvements underway and we look forward to bringing you more information on them very soon. Being a new website it's understandable that there may be the odd glitch here and there and we would welcome your feedback so that we can fix any problems as soon as possible.

Our new website is best viewed on Google's Chrome browser, on a desktop computer with the web page filling the screen. You may notice that Windows Explorer (known for its display bugs) displays the main font a little heavier making it harder to read - we are already discussing an alternative font and plan on updating the site in the next few weeks.

We really hope you like Plastor's new website!
