How to Choose a Corrugated Bin
1. Measure the shelf or storage location. Confirm usable depth, width, and height before selecting the bin. Leave room for access rather than sizing only to the maximum shelf dimensions.
2. Match the bin to the contents. Small parts may need narrow bins, while bulky or mixed inventory may benefit from wider or jumbo configurations.
3. Plan labeling and access. Open-front bins are useful when employees need to identify and retrieve contents quickly. Choose kraft or white based on the current size availability and labeling preferences.
4. Use dividers only where they fit the workflow. Dividers can create sections inside compatible bins, but divider width and bin dimensions should be checked together.
Corrugated Storage Bins vs. Permanent Plastic Bins
Corrugated Bins
A lightweight paper-based option for parts rooms, stock areas, offices, and changing inventory layouts. They ship and store flat before assembly and can be economical when many locations need bins.
Plastic Bins
A better fit when the operation requires washable, moisture-resistant, or longer-term reusable storage. Material choice should follow the actual environment rather than price alone.
