Manufacturers of packaging film and film packaging frequently use load carriers to transport and store their rolled goods upright or lying flat. There are special requirements in respect of goods laid flat, in particular, due to the considerable weight and length of the unit loads.

Plastic packaging in the form of cups, bowls and other containers is also used in the food industry. These products are usually not stackable and are therefore frequently stored in boxes and transported or else placed in cardboard packaging for easier handling.
