More info on Correx® picking bins
There are several advantages inherent to using Correx® picking bins at your business. Perhaps the most significant is the size flexibility they offer.
Using Correx® corrugated plastic material allows the manufacture of picking bins in any size and design you require. Custom sizes, in particular, can help to maximise the available storage space at your company, being tailored to your racking, floorspace, inventory, or whatever would make them most efficient.
Similarly, you can select from Correx® shelf bins that fit on existing racking or freestanding options that provide additional storage.
Additional benefits of Correx® bins
There are numerous other benefits to using Correx® bins.
For example, you can choose from a wide range of colours. As such, your picking bins can be the same as your corporate or brand colours. You can also opt for different-coloured storage bins to assist in segmenting your stock and different product lines.
Correx® picking bins also provide excellent strength, durability, and longevity.
These properties not only mean that your picking bins protect your inventory from moisture, dirt, and dust (and are easy to clean) but also that their lifetime costs are significantly lower than cardboard picking bins.
Of course, these benefits are in addition to all the advantages you would expect from a well-organised inventory, including easier stock checks, quicker picking and fulfilment times, and a reduction in costly picking errors.
Correx® pick bin FAQs
What is Correx®?
Correx® is a corrugated or fluted polypropylene plastic. Supplied in sheets, it is popular in the construction and signage industries. However, packaging manufacturers can also convert it in a similar manner to corrugated cardboard. As such, Correx® is suitable for manufacturing a range of durable packaging products, including boxes, totes and picking bins.
What type of Correx® picking bins are available?
The material offers significant flexibility in sizes and styles, so various types of Correx® pick bins are available. This includes shelf bins that sit on racking, divided bins with various compartments to separate different SKUs and freestanding stacking bins. Industrial pigeonholes can also be manufactured using Correx®.
Can Correx® bins be used in warehouse racking?
Businesses can use both Correx® shelf bins and Correx® stacking bins within warehouse racking. Due to being produced in custom sizes, the bins can be tailored to fit perfectly in any pre-existing (or newly specified) warehouse racks or shelving.
What are Correx® euro stacking pick bins?
Correx® euro stacking pick bins are a specific type of warehouse storage. Their sizes match the “euro” footprint of 400 x 600 mm, although the heights can vary. Correx® stacking bins are suitable for use within racking or as freestanding storage wherever required.
Are picking bins and Correx® storage boxes the same thing?
The term picking bin and storage box is often interchangeable. Correx® storage boxes are commonly used within warehouse and eCommerce fulfilment applications, although the term can also refer to tote boxes used within returnable supply chains.
What other types of warehouse bins are available?
Besides Correx® picking bins, you can also source moulded plastic bins or corrugated cardboard bins (also known as K bins). Moulded plastic pick bins offer excellent performance at a low cost but are only available in stock sizes. Cardboard picking bins, like Correx®, are available in custom sizes but do not offer the same longevity or durability.
What is a picking wall?
A picking wall is a collection of picking bins used together to create a wall of storage. Often referred to as a pick face wall, Correx® bins are ideal for creating these in a warehouse or fulfilment centre.
