Storage and Containers

Storage boxes and containers are found in every workplace, whether it’s an office, classroom, catering or retail outlet, warehouse, plant, factory or workshop.  Their uses are many and varied, from simple storage to quick transport or organisation of materials.  When choosing containment units you should consider the materials you are storing, organising or transporting and where and how you want them stored, organised or transported.

The weight, dimensions, volume, frequency of use and necessary accessibility of the materials you are storing will all have a bearing on the boxes and containers you require. If a container is to be used frequently or used outside you may require it to be more durable.  Opaque boxes and containers with lids can provide extra security for materials by limiting access and visibility, while transparent or colour coded boxes can aid in identification and organisation of contents.

Storage, a lot of the time, is all about space.  Stackable, foldable or nestable containers can help you to maximise your use of shelf or floor space while being stored easily when not in use.  You should also consider whether the containers will be used with other storage equipment – palletised boxes with forklift trucks or picking boxes with new or existing shelving.

There is a huge range to choose from, with shelf and louvred panel compatible maxi-bins for small items or parts storage, to more specific food grade containers or, for extra security, high performance metal transit cases or containers.
