Top 5 Eco Friendly Boxes Wholesalers for Durian SG

1. Greenpac (S) Pte Ltd

Greenpac operates a Tuas corrugated plant and runs the FSC-certified “Greenpac Eco” line, which durian wholesalers at Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre order most heavily during the June–September Musang King season. Their durian spec is a double-wall BC-flute carton at 400 GSM, dimensioned 48 x 34 x 28 cm, with laser-cut ventilation slots on the short panels and a water-based odor-barrier coating on the inner liner. The coating matters because whole husks sweat after 8 hours in a reefer truck; without it, the box’s edge crush drops below the 9 kN/m rating needed for stacking ten crates high. MOQ is 500 units, pricing runs SGD 2.90 to SGD 3.40 per 5kg box, and delivery from Tuas to Pasir Panjang or a B2B cold store in Jurong is next-day. They print with water-based inks only, so the box can be recycled in SG’s single-stream bin system.

2. Aik Aik Pte Ltd

Aik Aik, the SGX-listed packaging group with a Lok Yang Way factory in Tuas and a Johor plant across the Causeway, is the heavyweight option for large-volume durian imports. They hold both FSC and PEFC chain-of-custody certification and supply the 17kg “Sultan” produce carton that Malaysian growers use for Che Tant and D24 shipments to Singapore wholesale buyers. Aik Aik’s box is a single-wall C-flute design with six hand-hold cutouts and a reinforced bottom tray, built for humid-weather stacking where the box will sit on a wet market floor for two to three days. Their SFA compliance paperwork is pre-filled for fruit packaging, which shortens the import declaration process for distributors. Minimum order is 2,000 cartons, and bulk pricing drops to SGD 1.20 per unit for the 17kg size. They also supply the small printed single-wall boxes that wet-market fruit stalls use for walk-in retail.

3. T.H. Lee Packaging Sdn Bhd

T.H. Lee’s Tampoi plant in Johor Bahru is the default supplier for Malaysian durian exporters who truck whole Musang King crates directly into Singapore via the Tuas Second Link. Their trans-shipment crate is double-wall BC flute with a 15kg capacity, a kraft outer liner, and a starch-based bio-PBS liner pouch that seals in the husk odor without using plastic film. A full truck of 900 crates makes the JB-to-Jurong run in 45 minutes, so the company rarely delivers inside Singapore; instead buyers collect from their Tampoi warehouse or pay for a cross-border drop using a VIT (Vessel/Vehicle In Transit) approved hauler. Lead time from artwork approval is five working days, and the MOQ is 1,000 crates. Prices run RM 4.20 to RM 5.80 per unit (roughly SGD 1.30 to SGD 1.80), making this the cheapest credible option when the total is mitigated by zero Singapore landside delivery fees. T.H. Lee is also one of the few regional corrugators that will issue a new FSC claim code per customer, which helps SG buyers file their Resource Sustainability Act packaging-data reports.

4. United BX Pte Ltd

United BX, an independent die-cut specialist in the Pioneer/Tuas industrial corridor, is the go-to for cut-flesh and tray-packed durian rather than whole husks. They run 100% recycled liner board with vegetable-based inks and offer the “SmellPro” divider: a bio-PBS coated kraft insert that physically separates stacked flesh trays so one cut fruit does not leak onto the box floor. This is the only box here that is designed specifically for half-cut durian packed in takeaway trays, which is the format most SG online durian sellers and caterers use for 2kg to 4kg portions. Unprinted SmellPro boxes at the 4kg size cost about SGD 2.50 each at a 300-box MOQ, and custom die-cut print adds 12 to 15 working days. United BX also re-bundles and baler-compacts returned flat-packed boxes at no extra cost if the buyer ships back within the same month, which is useful for stall owners who do not have a recycler contract.

5. Syspex Pte Ltd

Syspex, a Singapore packaging distributor with a Kaki Bukit showroom and warehouse, handles premium and small-lot durian packaging that does not justify a corrugator order. They import compostable kraft boxes and sugarcane bagasse trays from Thailand’s Phoenix Pulp & Paper mill, certified to EN 13432 for industrial composting. Their 650ml and 2L kraft flesh containers are the standard choice for upscale durian “party packs” sold through island-wide delivery platforms; the 2L board is coated with a PLA biopolymer that holds up to 60 degrees C without delaminating, which is enough for chilled meat but not for anything warmed. Syspex is the only wholesaler in this list that stocks shelf inventory rather than made-to-order, so buyers can take 50 boxes same-day from Kaki Bukit. Pricing for a 20-box starter bundle of 2L containers runs about SGD 42. For wholesalers who need volume, they offer a monthly standing order with a fixed 7% discount and free delivery to central Singapore cold chain hubs like Hock Lock Hin or Yong Siah.
