Tips for storing warehouses and recommendations for storage containers

In manufacturing enterprises and large supermarkets, the warehouse, as the core area for storing goods, the quality of its storage management directly affects the operational efficiency of the enterprise. According to relevant data, an unmanaged warehouse can increase the time it takes for staff to search for items by more than 30%, thereby affecting the overall work progress. Therefore, warehouse storage has become the focus of attention for many enterprises.

Why do we need to store in the warehouse?

1.Storaging the warehouse can make our warehouse look neater.

As shown in the picture, a messy site is more harmonious and tidy compared to a warehouse with added storage containers.

2. Organizing the warehouse can improve work efficiency

When our warehouse is tidying up, the staff no longer have to search through a pile of items for what they need. Instead, they can quickly locate and find the items they need based on their classification and storage areas, thereby enhancing the overall work efficiency.

3. Cleaning the warehouse can make the layout more reasonable

After we clean up the warehouse, we can divide a space into different sections as needed, and place different types of products in each section, thereby enhancing the rationality of the warehouse layout.

Several tips for cleaning the warehouse

1. Classify and organize

<1>Place according to purpose/frequency/type

We can classify the items according to our needs by purpose/frequency of use/type. In this way, whenever we want to find the items we need in the warehouse, we can look for them in specific categories, which greatly increases work efficiency.

<2>Label

Please remember that no matter what method you use to categorize the items in your warehouse, don't forget to attach labels to your containers. This can enhance the recognition of each category.

2.Make rational use of vertical space to expand storage capacity

<1>Place on the shelves

In many enterprises' warehouses, storage shelves are purchased for the storage of items. Shelves can effectively utilize the vertical space of the warehouse and improve the space utilization rate

<2>Choose stackable storage containers to make flexible use of space

If a company's budget is limited and it is unable to purchase a large number of shelves, stackable containers are also a good choice. These containers have excellent stacking performance and can stably stack multiple boxes together, thereby making full use of the vertical space in the warehouse. As shown in the figure, in small warehouses or temporary storage areas, using plastic storage boxes to store items can effectively increase the storage capacity of the warehouse without raising the cost of shelves.

3.Use appropriate storage containers to balance practicality and convenience

Use storage containers with a uniform appearance

When it comes to the selection of storage boxes for the warehouse, I think we should try to choose the same containers as much as possible. Placing storage containers of the same color, size and shape in the warehouse can make the warehouse look neater and more harmonious, giving people a sense of professionalism and standardization. For instance, using blue plastic storage boxes of uniform specifications to store different types of components not only facilitates management but also makes the visual effect of the warehouse more aesthetically pleasing.

<2>Using the correct containers facilitates our transportation and cleaning within the warehouse

The storage containers in the warehouse also need to have the characteristics of being convenient for handling and cleaning. For instance, although wooden storage containers are sturdy, they are heavy and prone to mold. If they need to be moved, it will be rather laborious. However, if plastic storage boxes of the same specification are used, it will be much more convenient. Plastic boxes are light in weight, waterproof, moisture-proof and easy to clean, making them more suitable for use in warehouses.
