Mail-order sales are increasingly taking over traditional brick-and-mortar shopping. While once only the most inaccessible products were bought online, today, instead of going to a store to buy shoes or household chemicals – we order everything online. Firstly, for convenience – we don’t waste time walking around the city, and secondly – because of price. It’s often much lower than in brick-and-mortar sales, because entrepreneurs save on store costs, salespeople, bills, etc., and additionally customers have grown to like this way of shopping because they buy only what they need. During store visits, many of us would buy whatever caught our eye, thus additionally losing money. However, to optimize warehouse space as much as possible, everything must be well thought out. Modular cardboard boxes are becoming increasingly popular in warehouse spaces, which we’ll learn a bit about today.
Advantages of using modular cardboard boxes in warehouses
Modular cardboard boxes are primarily about versatility. We can build any structures from them, add new boxes and remove them at any time. Modular cardboard boxes work perfectly for storing small products – clothing, cosmetics, textiles, or various small accessories. They work great in online store warehouses, where shelf mobility and their quick and simple operation are most important. Another advantage of using modular cardboard boxes in warehouses is ecology. Cardboard boxes are fully biodegradable materials. Additionally, such modular cardboard boxes are really durable and long-lasting, while being lightweight. They can be assembled into shelves up to two meters high. All this takes very little time, so assembly or disassembly of shelves from modular cardboard boxes is easy and quick.
Types of modular cardboard boxes
The offer of modular cardboard boxes is very wide. We can find both standard shelves, practically in any sizes, but also cardboard containers that facilitate storage of really small elements, such as screws and other similar elements. If your online store also has such small accessories – it’s worth having everything properly arranged to use warehouse space as efficiently as possible.
Modular cardboard boxes are most often sold in packages in larger quantities, as they enable immediate assembly together and building high shelves. The most popular type of such cardboard shelves (one part) is 40 centimeters by 60 centimeters by 27 centimeters. Of course, the opening itself for inserting elements is slightly smaller, which protects stored goods from falling out. Modular cardboard boxes connected together are stable and protected against falling. With simultaneous low weight and speed of assembly and disassembly, this is a really convenient solution that more and more warehouses storing small elements are using. Very importantly, the cardboard itself used to create modular elements for shelves is multi-layer cardboard (e.g., 5-layer kraft, which is very rigid and guarantees solid construction).
