The table grape box is almost unique in EPS packaging because not only does it protect the contents but it holds up the boxes above it. The bottom box in the picture on the left must hold up to 1000 pounds load.
In 2006 APTCO began to diversify by making wine packaging. In 2008 APTCO began making construction products such as Insulating Concrete Forms. APTCO is proud to help solve environmental problems by offering construction products in California for LEED certification.
APTCO,LLC is also proud of its safety record. From 1998 until now APTCO,LLC has been above industry average for safety.
