Louvred storage bins that can be stacked or wall-mounted on louvred panels, come in a range of sizes and capacities – and with capacities that depend on whether they are standalone, stacked or mounted. At UK Pallet Racking we offer these bins in different sizes and come in various colours.

Picking the right sizes for your particular need is key – not least if you want them to stack. This is why it is often a good idea to buy your whole storage solution from one supplier, so that you have commonality of sizes which can also work together.

The whole point of storage boxes is to keep an area or workplace organised and tidy, making everything easily accessible and easy to find. That being said, if your storage boxes are not organised then clutter can start to build up fairly quickly, resulting in items getting lost or misplaced.

When organising your storage boxes, we have a number of tips and tricks. Firstly, separating items into specific categories is a big part of keeping organised and staying on top of things. This is especially true for workshops and warehouses, where things are easily lost.

The next thing to consider is labelling your boxes so you know exactly where everything is when you need it. In workshops and warehouses, small parts can easily get left lying about, not only causing a mess but also causing a safety hazard. By keeping items in dedicated, labelled storage boxes, you’re able to keep your workshops and warehouses tidy, clean and safe. Our parts bins, view bins, shelf bins and vision blocks can all easily be labelled to keep workshops tidy, as well as our home storage options.

Finally, we recommend keeping storage boxes out of the way whilst still being easily accessible. For example, keeping boxes underneath desks and work benches and keeping part bins and view bins attached/against the wall is a perfect way to keep your storage boxes out of the way. Keeping your workspace clean is a great way to ensure maximum safety in storage environments.

For hygiene and safety reasons, if food products are stored or transported in plastic bins, these storage units must be compatible with the food-grade quality standard and/or the HACCP system1.

These storage solutions can also take the form of insulated bins and containers to keep the food hot or cold.

If you want to choose the right warehouse storage bins, you should always consider the plastic used in their manufacture as the most important information. There are two main materials:

• Polyethylene (mostly used): This is particularly recommended for storing products in cold environments (from -40 °C to +20 °C);
• Polypropylene: This is more resistant and more suitable for storing products in places where temperatures vary from 0 °C to 40 °C.

There are also cardboard bins and boxes which are ideal for storing spare parts such as nuts and bolts, screws and small supplies.

The European standard requires that electronic products are stored or transported by means of ESD/Antistatic bins (EN 61340-5) to avoid electrostatic discharges.

Labelling storage bins is crucial for knowing just what is in each bin or container, making it clear for anyone to find what they are looking for. How to label them comes down to what you are storing in them, but a few rules of thumb apply.

If you have lots of wall mounted containers or a stack of storage bins with lids, it can help to label them either alphabetically or chronologically and keep an inventory of what, when and where items were stored.

While it is possible to write on cardboard and some plastic containers, sticky labels are ideal as they can be clearly printed on and, should the contents of that storage bin change, a new label can be stuck over the old (or the old removed and replaced with a new one).

There are also ranges of storage bins that come with plastic holders for labels, as well as ranges that feature a slot for a label, making labelling straightforward and clear.

If your containers contain fragile or dangerous goods, then you must label them correctly, showing everything from ‘Fragile’ to ‘This way up’ to some of the dangers that may be stored within, such as ‘Corrosive’ or “Flammable’ and so on.

What can you do with old storage bins? Despite being tough and resilient, eventually you may need to get rid of storage bins and containers – so what can you do with them?

Cardboard storage solutions can of course simply be recycled at any recycling centre. Polypropylene (PP) containers – including polyboard – can be recycled at specialist PP recycling centres, where they are crushed, chipped and melted down. This recycled PP is then used to make more storage containers – and garden furniture, butter tubs, bottle tops and more.

Unfortunately, we do not offer a recycling scheme for old storage bins. For this you can contact your local authority for waste disposal/management.

Our containers are normally shipped same day if ordered before 2pm and delivered within 2 -4 days. For large orders it may take a day or two longer.
