Billions of corrugated products move through the supply chain, packaging, protecting and promoting the products we use daily. While many link corrugated with the traditional brown box left on their doorstep, its uses are virtually unlimited. As manufacturers throughout the supply chain are identifying ways to improve efficiency and increase sustainability, corrugated bins have emerged as useful receptacles in modern logistics and storage solutions. Their strength, durability, and eco-friendliness make them a preferred choice for businesses looking to optimize their supply chain.
Streamlining Efficiencies Across the Supply Chain
Corrugated bins, typically made from doublewall or triplewall material, are versatile storage solutions suited for various fulfillment and warehousing needs. Corrugated bins offer notable advantages, including strength, lightweight construction, reusability, sustainability, and a high degree of customization.
For fulfillment, they help organize and monitor inventory efficiently, making stock management easier and reducing errors by clearly designating item locations. Features like barcodes or RFID systems can further optimize inventory tracking and order picking.
In warehousing and distribution, corrugated bins are used as solutions for temporary storage, which can reduce the need for permanent racking. Bins may be designed to provide stacking strength, allowing both vertical and horizontal space in the warehouse to be utilized efficiently. Corrugated bins can also assist with transporting bulk materials between departments and offer strength and protection for products in demanding environments. Plus, corrugated bins can be designed specifically for warehouses that use automatic storage and retrieval systems.
