A rainbow of tote and bin colors organize inventory, fulfillment

摘要

While the process of organizing products for storage and shipment with reusable totes and bins of different colors isn't new, the practice has exploded in popularity over the past five years, according to Greg Beaudin, midwest sales representative at Akro-Mils. And, bin and tote manufacturers like Akro-Mils have expanded their product offerings to meet that demand. "Even as recently as seven years ago, we only had four different standard color offerings in parts storage bins and hand-held totes," Beaudin recalls. "Today, we offer 15 different standard colors in our parts bins, and we can produce those same colors in totes to meet our customers' color coding requirements."
