Manufacturing stillages with Bluestar

Bluestar design & manufacture metal stillages of varying sizes, Bluestar is an industry leader in the design and manufacture of various internal dunnage support assemblies.

Bluestar understands the need for stillages & packaging systems to protect parts and assemblies from damage with delicate but robust, reliable, and effective handling capabilities. That is why our range of PU dunnage  mouldings and PVC inserts designed and manufactured here at Bluestar can revolutionise the overall capabilities of a stillage and returnable packaging solution.

Our Polyurethane moulding department helps to add to the bespoke element of stillage manufacturing at Bluestar.

Using in-house design and manufacturing capabilities and years of expertise, Bluestar has developed a stillage and returnable packaging manufacturing process in which the emphasis is placed on customisation, quality and cost saving.

Why choose metal stillages and returnable packaging systems?

Metal stillages and returnable packaging systems are a durable, versatile and sustainable solution for storage and logistics. Designed to securely store and transport goods, metal stillages help streamline processes by improving efficiency, lowering  your carbon footprint, lowering your packaging costs, and optimising the use of space. They can be designed to specific needs while offering an industrial solution to your packaging and storage requirements, even in harsh environments.

Our Stillages protect your valuable inventory, optimise your storage space, and protect against potential damage, they also help with your carbon footprint, no matter what you use them for (such as warehousing, manufacturing, or logistics). This makes them an excellent choice for businesses looking for a bespoke, high-performance solution that is an  alternative to traditional wooden pallets.

When a bespoke stillage is the right option

Bespoke metal stillages and returnable packaging is an excellent choice if you’re looking to transport or store items with high value that can be easily damaged, reduce your carbon footprint and reduce temporary packaging costs such as wooden pallets and plastic bags.

Unlike standard solutions, custom stillages and packaging systems are designed to match your specific product dimensions and weight requirements, ensuring every inch of transport and storage space is used effectively.

Not only do they optimise storage space, but they provide a secure protection to keep your products safe during handling and transit. Reducing your carbon footprint along the way.

Their incredible toughness allows for long term use in even the most demanding of environments.

We can design custom stillages to ensure maximum space saving and stackability.

And with the addition of custom PVC dunnage, or custom Polyurethane moulding you can further improve the storage and transportation of your goods.

By investing in bespoke metal stillages, you can enhance your sustainability and protect your valuable goods, which will lead to long-term savings.

I've collaborated with Bluestar on several transport and storage solutions, the design prototypes are exceptional.

Here, we showcase how businesses from diverse industries have leveraged our services to achieve remarkable production results.

Focusing on maximising transportation space, we created a 3D model of a large articulated lorry loaded with our fully custom stillages.

This showed JCB how our products help to increase the amount of room in a lorry and how to help reduce the number of trips needed to carry the same amount of parts.

We work on providing cutting edge transport and storage solutions for automotive giants McLaren. 

Taking advantage of our polyurethane moulding and insert department, McLaren specify a variety of different measurements via thorough designs. 

We take these and provide a fully bespoke output featuring the highest-quality materials and levels of production. 

Lotus supplied us with CAD data for parts to be stored in one of our bespoke stillages. We designed a fully customised solution around the CAD Models. 

Taking this brief, we’ve created a design using our technical knowledge and then made a thorough drawing to manufacture the bespoke stillage. 

With prototypes provided and approval secured, the bespoke stillages have revolutionised both transport and storage for Lotus.
