In the short term, the use of foldable containers is expensive because of the high costs involved in production and the operational costs of foldable containers compared with standard containers. This confirms the claim that the initial market price and the costs of folding and unfolding foldable containers are quite high (Konings and Thijs, 2001).
Although containerization conveys numerous Improving Logistics Management Using Foldable/Collapsible Containers: A Case Study G 164G G advantages to the logistics industry, there are some disadvantages. The use of foldable containers is proposed as a way of solving the current issues with standard containers, but their use is not widespread yet.
Foldable containers are not widely used due to some factors such as initial costs, safety issues (Boile et al., 2004) and the perceived costs of additional investments to improve port facilities and equipment to cater for foldable containers.
Although foldable containers have been introduced to overcome standard container issues, there are some disadvantages involved with them. However the benefits of foldable containers over standard ones cannot be underestimated when considering the escalating volume of empty containers and the costs involved in repositioning them.
