From organising smaller items like bolts and screws to maximising vertical storage, picking bins are a superior warehouse storage solution.

A picking bin is an invaluable item that can make a big difference, so let’s talk about what they are, what kinds are available, and how Stor-Pak, as a leading storage solution provider can help.

What are picking bins?

Storage picking bins , sometimes called picking trays, are small, medium or large plastic containers. There are a few different variations, but most are enclosed on three sides, with an opening in front for easy access. Most are designed to hang on louvred panels, or to sit on open shelving. A picking tray is convenient for holding all kinds of small or large objects that you need easy access to, whether that’s screws, bolts, cable ties, medical supplies, accessories or even retail stock.

Benefits of using picking bins:

Improved organisation: Keeps parts and products neatly sorted and easy to find.
Faster picking and packing: Reduces time spent searching for items.
Space-saving design: Stackable and wall-mounted options help maximise storage space.
Better stock visibility: Clear bins or open fronts let you see contents at a glance.
Flexible setup: Suitable for shelves, walls or mobile stations.
Reduced clutter and mess: Helps maintain a clean and efficient workspace.

Types of picking bins:

Stackable picking bins: These bins stack up when they’re not in use or even when they’re full. This option is great for small parts like screws, bolts or medical supplies.
Shelf bins: Designed to sit on shelving units and slide in and out like drawers, shelf bins are perfect for organising stock you need to access often, with front labels for easy identification.
Hang-and-lock bins: These bins hook onto louvred panels or rails, which makes them ideal for vertical storage.
Clear picking bins: Perfect for retail settings or fast-moving stock, clear picking bins allow you to see what’s inside without opening or pulling it out.

What are the alternatives to picking bins?

Alternative	How It Compares to Picking Bins
Open shelving	Good for larger items, but lacks compartmentalisation—picking bins offer better organisation for small parts.
Drawer units / cabinets	Enclosed and lockable, but slower to access. Bins are faster for high-frequency picking tasks.
Pallet racking	Ideal for bulk storage or larger stock, but not practical for small, fast-moving items..
Parts organisers / tackle boxes	Portable and compact, but limited capacity—picking bins work better for larger-scale storage needs.
Plastic tubs with lids	Stackable and protective, but you can’t see or access contents easily—bins are more efficient for day-to-day access.
Vertical carousel systems	High-tech and space-saving, but expensive and complex—picking bins are affordable, simple and scalable.
