If containers need to be labelled, three main methods are employed: 1. Lettering is milled into one or two sides of the container, representing a name, abbreviation and/or number. A permanent form of labelling. The lettering is coloured with felt-tip which needs to be renewed at intervals of several months. This is the most economical and simplest method. 2. Silkscreen printing on one or two sides: lettering or logo. Option of one colour. Running serial numbers must be milled. Silk screen can withstand washing with water if a very stiff brush is not used. 3. Mould-in Graphics. Lettering and logo. Option of 2-3 colours. Running serial numbers must be milled. A more permanent method than silk screen, but relatively expensive, especially on a small scale. www.borgarplast.com 53.5 cm 57.0 cm 66.5 cm Type 70 litres 80 litres 100 litres D1 D2 U H h d kg 42.5 cm 49.5 cm 54.5 cm 62.5 cm 68.5 cm 77.0 cm 41.5 cm 38.5 cm 43.0 cm 33.5 cm 32.0 cm 32.0 cm 3.0 cm 3.5 cm 3.5 cm 679 Standard colour: grey.

A convenient solution in restricted environments where access by hand pallet jack or forklift is difficult. WHEELS RF (radio frequency) ID containers have embedded microchips which are either programmable or have fixed serial numbers. Data in ID containers can be read into computers using hand scanners or scanners installed in forklift forks or on conveyor belts. A wide selection of software is available for managing the entire production process using ID containers, at all stages from the abattoir to valueadded processing. ID containers offer enhanced security and automation in the production process. ID CONTAINERS All Borgarplast containers can be fitted with lids, which are insulated with Polyurethane (PUR). Lids are secured to the containers with strong straps which are resistant to ultraviolet light (UV), but are not considered fully watertight. Full tubs with lids are stackable on top of each other. LIDS MARKING AND LOGOS since 1999 ISO-certificated Quality System since 1993 Compaction locks are used for keeping the product beneath the surface of the liquid in the container, e.g. during salting or pickling. Compaction locks fit into containers sizes 400-700. COMPACTION LOCK Borgarplast was founded in 1971. It is a limited company with few shareholders. From the outset, Borgarplast has operated in the manufacturing industry, mainly involving products from synthetics, polyethylene and polystyrene. Borgarplast defines itself as a manufacturer of containers and packaging for the food industry and for transportation of fresh food. Exports began in 1986 and the chief export item is insulated pallet containers. Borgarplast’s factories are very well equipped with a high production capacity. All products are designed inhouse by the Technical Department. In 1993 Borgarplast’s quality system was certificated to the ISO 9001 standard, the first Icelandic industrial manufacturing company to achieve this recognition. Borgarplast also became the first Icelandic company to receive certification to the international environmental standard ISO 14001 in 1999, and was one of the first 6,000 companies in the world to do so. Over the years the company has earned awards for many aspects of its operations including technological innovation, environmental awareness and employee facilities and safety.
