Supra bins are brightly coloured to assist with categorisation and organisation, and are fitted with an ID card holder to enable clear labelling. They have a reinforced base, sides and stacking rim that make them suitable for heavy duty use, and they can withstand high temperatures and most industrial solvents. They can also be configured with internal dividers, so they can be used to store even the smallest parts and components effectively.
 
Stack and nest containers are lightweight, multipurpose storage bins that have been designed and manufactured for a wide range of industries including warehousing, distribution, automotive, engineering and food industries. Being the most commonly used crate in Australia and New Zealand is proof of their durability and versatility. The stack and nest design allows them to be stacked when full and nested when empty, saving storage space.

What are the benefits of plastic storage bins and containers?

A plastic bin storage rack system can help you to achieve greater efficiency through maintaining inventory integrity and speeding up access to goods and materials. At the same time, as plastic storage bins are extremely strong, there is no risk of the bottom collapsing, while being skid resistant means that the risk of slipping off of shelves is reduced. The fact that they can be stacked so easily also frees up space for other purposes, while the variety of colours makes it easy to organise products or materials into categories.
