New (factory)
A new container is built to order, overwhelmingly in Asia, and delivered unused. You choose colour, lock box, vents and markings, and get the longest service life. In exchange come production and shipping lead times — and the top of the range. The condition for exposed uses: branding, events, conversions open to the public.
- Get the availability date in writing — the figure product pages show least.
- Fix options at order time (lock box, vents, RAL colour) — retrofitting costs more.
- Make sure “new” means factory-fresh and unused, not a relabelled one trip unit.

Frequently asked questions
Are new containers built in the UK?
No — global container production is concentrated in Asia. “New” means unused from the factory, not locally made.
Is new worth the premium over one trip?
If you need factory options or an exact colour, yes. For looks alone, one trip does most of the job — compare both ranges above before deciding.
