Industrial pigeon hole storage
If you have low-volume picking or storage requirements or need additional storage during peak demand, plastic pigeon holes can be a useful option.
Plastic pigeon holes are storage units that feature multiple small, open-fronted compartments. Typically made from Correx® or similar materials, plastic pigeon holes are lightweight, durable, easy to clean and cost-effective. They can help with organisation, storage, protection and picking of stock, and are suitable for both permanent and temporary requirements.
At GWP Correx®, we can design and manufacture plastic pigeon-hole storage units tailored to your exact requirements. We allow you to choose the overall dimensions, compartment sizes and configuration, weight capacity, and even colours, before manufacturing them at our in-house production facility.

FAQs
What are pigeon holes used for?
Pigeon holes have traditionally been used in post rooms and mail sorting offices for businesses, allowing them to sort mail for various departments or staff members. However, their use has expanded into industrial applications as well, including low-volume picking and storage.
Is pigeon hole racking suitable for warehouse use?
The problem with many existing wooden pigeon holes is that they are not suitable for use in many industrial environments, such as warehouses or assembly lines. Whilst metal versions are fine for this, they are usually costly and offer little flexibility. However, Correx® pigeon hole racking is a perfect solution for warehouse and production use.
Where else can industrial pigeon hole storage be used?
Besides being used in warehouses for picking and storage applications, industrial pigeon hole storage is suitable for use in many other locations as well. They are appropriate for use alongside assembly lines, in workshops, post rooms, and even offices and reception areas.
Is it possible to choose the size of the compartments within the pigeon holes?
With plastic pigeon holes manufactured from Correx®, you can specify virtually every aspect to match your requirements. Options include overall dimensions, compartment sizes and configuration, material strength and type, colours, and whether print is required.
Are there any alternatives to plastic pigeon holes?
If pigeon holes do not look as though they will be suitable for your specific application, you can select from a range of alternative picking bins. The closest option to industrial pigeon holes is stacking pick bins, which can allow for much larger storage compartments if required and can also be manufactured to custom sizes.
