Keeping your work space organized — whether it is a retail operation, a warehouse or a manufacturing facility — is the best way to increase efficiency, reduce costs and boost productivity. A messy, disorganized work area will result in messy, disorganized work, which in the long run will cost you money.
The key to keeping any work space organized is maintaining order. And one of the best ways to do this is through the use of bins.
Come in a Variety of Sizes and Materials
Bins can be used to keep separate products, parts and other materials separated until you need them. When items are organized and separated, clearly marked and held in a convenient location until they are needed, you can depend on being able to find them when they are required.
Bins of every shape and size are available with dividers or windows. Many are designed to fit seamlessly with existing, standard shelving and can be easily stacked. They are perfect for storing parts both large and small and will help keep any work space organized and productive.
Bins are made from a wide variety of materials, from corrugated cardboard to plastic to steel. The type of bin you choose depends on what it will be used to hold and how it will be used.
Affordability and Versatility
Corrugated cardboard bins offer one of the most affordable solutions to providing organization in your work space. They can be quickly assembled without the need for staples or tape. They are lightweight and durable, yet they can be used for literally thousands of uses.
Cardboard bins can be used for shelving and benches, retail displays, and other storage solutions. They can be easily stacked and come in 12″, 18″ and 24″ depth shelves.
If you are looking for something a little more durable than corrugated cardboard, you might consider using poly, bins. While providing more durability than corrugated cardboard bins, they are still affordable enough to be used in practically any application.
Poly bins offer the perfect solution for storing parts or other supplies. They come in many different types, including extra long, clear window, quick pick, stack and nest, and multi compartment.
Poly bins can be made of a variety of materials, such as fiberglass, structural foam or polypropylene. Many models can be stacked for easy and convenient storage while others include decorative feature or space for listing product descriptions or prices for retail applications.
Heavy Duty Applications
For heavy duty uses, you might consider using steel bins. These are durable, rugged bins that are made from one-piece steel construction and have a two-ton stacking capacity. With sturdy stacking rims, steel bins are ideal for heavy bulk parts storage that corrugated and poly bins couldn’t handle.
Most steel bins include a large hopper front that allows for easy access. They can be made from heavy-guage or galvanized steel that won’d rust or corrode.
When you streamline your work space by installing the proper bins to store your parts and other materials, when it comes to organization you can confidently say, ” ‘Bin’ there, done that!”
