I use 2'x4'x7' industrial boltless shelving, with lots of extra shelves added, and use cardboard bin trays that are 24" deep by 4", 6", and 8" wide. You can fit a huge amount of them on each shelf unit.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.uline.com/Browse_Listing_302.asp?desc=Corrugated+Bins">http://www.uline.com/Browse_Listing_302.asp?desc=Corrugated+Bins</a><br /> <br /> For items that need more than 8" wide I use clear storage tubs from WalMart on those same shelf units.<br /> <br /> Here's 3 shelves on one side of the room. There's another 8 shelves opposite them:<br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.djdesign.com/test/shelf2.jpg" /><hr /><a name="a4155_4"></a><p><b>From: Rose (RSLIEPKA)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4155.4">#4</a>]<br /> 25 Jun 2006<br /><b>To: joyce (JLADY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4155.1">#1</a>] 25 Jun 2006</p> <p>I have all of my bins numbered from 100 up. I have different sizes in different places but the numbers are in order. When I only carry 5 of an item I find the appropriate size bin and put them in it. How do I find it when I want it? I have a binder filled with baseball card holders in it. I cut out the picture of the figure from the catalog, staple it to the back of a business card size piece of card stock and write the bin number on the top right. I file the cards in the book alphabetically.<br /> When I am looking for a part, if it isn't in the book, it's not on the shelves. I can use the bins most efficiently for space and I can move things around any time I want. On the cards I also have the part number so I can re-order easily. I also put the price group.</p> <p>I also use the baseball card holders for mylars. So many times you only keep a few of each. This way I can group them by category and let the customer pick the one they want. I just cut them individually and use both sides of the pockets.</p><hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4155.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4155.1">1-2</a>  3-4</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
