A plastic storage basket manufacturer moulds the open baskets that keep kitchens, bathrooms, closets and playrooms organised - woven-look PP designs, hollow-panel models and stackable sets sold to homeware retailers and storage brands. The pp storage basket home range spans small desktop pieces to 15-22 L household models, in catalogue shapes or custom colours. This guide covers the range, the material and food-contact points, and the specifications to confirm in an RFQ.
What a plastic storage basket manufacturer supplies
- Woven storage basket models with a rattan-look texture in 22x16x10 cm, 28x18x14 cm and 32x30x16 cm sizes.
- Hollow diamond-mesh baskets for fruit, vegetables and bathroom sundries that drain and breathe.
- Two- and three-piece nesting sets (about 7 L, 15 L and 22 L) for shelf and cabinet programmes.
- Lidded variants for dry goods, plus deep shelf baskets with pull-out handles.
- Custom colours - macron tones or neutrals - Pantone matched, with pad print or IML logos.
Materials and food-contact use
Food-grade PP, BPA-free and odourless, is the standard material: safe for fruit, vegetables and snacks, quick to rinse and dry. EU programmes expect framework food-contact declarations and LFGB test reports for German retail - background sits in our food-contact kitchenware guide. One-piece moulding with even 1.5-2.2 mm walls keeps baskets stable under load, and the open weave drains water so produce stays fresh. Recycled-content options exist, but claims should be documented - see the plastic recycling codes guide.

MOQ, tooling and lead times
Catalogue colours start around 1,000-3,000 pieces per design; new tooling runs 25-35 days, samples follow in 7-10 days and bulk production lands at 30-45 days. Stocked programmes from Zhejiang suppliers often ship in 15-20 working days when colours are standard. The wider moulded range is listed under plastic products, and audited factory profiles sit in the supplier directory.
