Custom-printed collection bin

Frequently asked questions

• Which collection boxes can I buy from Flyerline?
  Flyerline offers custom-printed collection boxes, unprinted collection boxes, boxes with pre-designed graphics, as well as official RecyBag collection boxes and RecyBag collection bags. Depending on the product, sizes from 17 to 400 litres are available.
• What can the collection boxes be used for?
  The collection boxes are suitable for waste separation and can be used to collect items such as PET bottles, glass, aluminium, cardboard, paper or residual waste. They can also be used as storage boxes for toys, household items, office supplies or other lightweight objects.
• Which size should I choose for my collection box?
  The right size depends on the available space, the material being collected and how frequently the box is used. Small boxes with a capacity of 17 or 35 litres are suitable for households, offices and confined spaces. Boxes with 60 or 110 litres provide more capacity for schools, shops and businesses. The 400-litre collection box is particularly suitable for events and high-traffic collection points.
• Can I have a collection box printed with my logo?
  Yes. The custom-printable collection boxes can be printed on one side and across the entire outer surface with your logo, colours, pictograms, instructions or your own design. This makes them particularly suitable for companies, municipalities, schools, associations, recycling stations and events.
• Can I order just one collection box?
  Yes. Various collection boxes can be ordered from as little as one unit. This makes them suitable both for individual applications and for larger collection and recycling concepts.
• What material are Flyerline collection boxes made from?
  The collection boxes are made from lightweight and dimensionally stable polypropylene hollow-chamber material. The material is moisture-resistant, durable and recyclable at the end of its service life. The boxes produced by Flyerline are made from 3 mm thick hollow-chamber material and already contain a proportion of recycled material.
• Are the collection boxes suitable for indoor and outdoor use?
  The boxes are resistant to moisture and can also be used outdoors temporarily. However, to ensure the longest possible service life, we recommend placing them in a sheltered location, especially in cases of prolonged rain, strong winds or high mechanical stress.
• Which collection box is suitable for events?
  For smaller events, boxes with a capacity of 60 or 110 litres are suitable. For festivals, sporting events, trade fairs or larger corporate events, the custom-printed 400-litre collection box offers particularly high collection capacity.
• What is the difference between a standard collection box and a RecyBag collection box?
  Depending on their labelling, standard collection boxes can be used for different types of waste or for storage. The RecyBag collection box was developed specifically for the matching RecyBag collection bags and is used to collect plastic packaging and beverage cartons.
• What is RecyBag?
  RecyBag is the official collection bag of the nationwide Swiss RecyPac system. It is used to collect completely emptied plastic packaging and beverage cartons, which can then be returned to a participating RecyBag collection point.
• Can I also order products that are not included in the standard product range?
  Yes. Flyerline Schweiz AG is capable of providing you with nearly any conceivable printed product. We have one of the most extensive, state-of-the-art pools of printing and processing equipment in Switzerland. If you don’t see the product you want in our standard range, please use the contact form to send us your request. Our Sales team will be happy to prepare an attractive, customised quote.
• How quickly can Flyerline deliver?
  Delivery times vary depending on the specific product and print run. We always make every effort to produce and deliver your printed matter as quickly as possible. We generally need 2-5 working days, depending on the product. When you place your order, we offer a “Rush” option for most products that generally ensures you expedited production and a turnaround time of one working day. The actual time required for production and the expected shipping date can always be found in our shop, right by the configured print product.
• How should I deliver my print data?
  Ideally, we recommend that you send us a print file with a resolution of 300 dpi in CMYK colour mode (colour profile: PSO Coated, V3) and a bleed of 3 mm. The data formats that work best are .pdfx1, .pdfx3 and .pdfx4 as well as .tiff and .jpg for picture files. For detailed information, please refer to our “Data Delivery Tips”. You will find this document and the corresponding product data sheet both in our Download Centre and by the product in question.
• What does 4/0 or 4/4 mean?
  4/0 colour means: printed in four colours on one side (full colour)
  4/4 colour means: printed in four colours on both sides (full colour)
• Can I also send Office files to Flyerline?
  Yes. But since Office files cannot be processed for professional printing, we first have to convert them into printable files. We charge a conversion fee of CHF 25 per file and page.
• What is CMYK?
  Cyan, magenta and yellow are the primary colours used for subtractive colour mixing. Black (K) is added because the primary colours are unable to produce a pure black. CMYK is the colour space required for printing. All masters are converted into CMYK files if they are not delivered in CMYK format.
• My file is in RGB mode. Will that work too?
  Yes. We convert the data into CMYK. This could result in slight variations in colour, especially in the case of extremely bright colours, since we do not know what colour was originally used and RGB documents look different on every screen. If you provide us with print data in RGB mode, we recommend selecting the “Proof” option.
