Custom Cardboard Bin Boxes
We manufacture cardboard bin boxes that assemble in seconds, fit your shelving precisely, and stand up to daily picking. Designs ship flat, fold without tape, and accept labels or printing for fast SKU identification. Options include open-front totes, ticket lips, finger notches, adjustable dividers, and auto-lock bases. FSC paperboards and fully recyclable builds are available.
- Formats: open-front bin, ticket-lip bin, tall side-wall bin, auto-lock base, add-on dividers
- Materials: kraft or white liners; E/B/C/EB flute options tuned to load and depth
- Strength: single-wall ECT 32–44; double-wall ECT 48–61+ for heavy parts
- Depth standards: 12″ / 18″ / 24″ (300 / 450 / 600 mm) plus customs
- Labeling: wide matte zones for barcodes, lot codes, and location IDs
- Channels: 3PLs, e-commerce FCs, retail backrooms, line-side kitting, returns processing
What they are & where they excel
Cardboard bin boxes are one-piece die-cut corrugated containers with an open front. They convert flat to formed in seconds and create clean, modular lanes on shelving, flow-racks, or workstations. Teams use them for SKU segregation, wave picking, counting, kitting, returns triage, and sample control. The design reduces pick errors, improves facing, and lowers replacement cost versus plastic totes.
Structures & options
You get the right structure for your load, depth, and handling speed.
| Structure | Use case | Benefits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open-front standard bin | Light/medium SKUs | Fast pick access; lowest cost | Front cut-away with finger notch |
| Ticket-lip bin | Barcode-heavy zones | Wide matte lip for labels | Protects labels from abrasion |
| Tall side-wall bin | Tippy or soft packs | Better containment | Raised sides; front still low |
| Auto-lock base | Heavier items | Strong base; no tape | Ideal for bottles, metal parts |
| Divider-ready bin | Multiple SKUs per bay | Flexible lanes | Longitudinal and cross dividers |
Materials & strength
We specify flute, liners, and ECT to match your live load and stack behavior.
- Flutes: E (low profile, crisp print), B (standard bin strength), C (cushion), EB (double-wall for heavy parts).
- Liners: kraft/kraft for durability; white outer for high-visibility printing.
- Typical strength: single-wall ECT 32–44; double-wall ECT 48–61+.
- Edge & lip reinforcement: scored folds and gussets prevent front sag after repeated picks.
Sizing & shelf compatibility
We size bins to your shelving footprint so rows align, labels read cleanly, and space utilization is high.
| Shelf depth | Typical bin depth | Common widths | Front height / Back height |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12″ (300 mm) | 11.75″ (298 mm) | 4″ / 6″ / 8″ (100/150/200 mm) | 2.5–4″ / 4–7″ (65–100 / 100–180 mm) |
| 18″ (450 mm) | 17.75″ (451 mm) | 6″ / 8″ / 10″ (150/200/250 mm) | 3–4.5″ / 6–9″ (75–115 / 150–230 mm) |
| 24″ (600 mm) | 23.75″ (603 mm) | 8″ / 10″ / 12″ (200/250/300 mm) | 3.5–5″ / 7–10″ (90–125 / 180–255 mm) |
Custom depths/heights are available for gondolas, carton-flow lanes, and mobile carts. Ask for a bay layout—we map counts per shelf and per bay.
Configuration by load class
Pick a configuration that guarantees service life under your handling profile.
| Load class (per bin) | Recommended flute / ECT | Base style | Add-ons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light (≤3 kg / 6.6 lb) | E/B, ECT 32–36 | Standard tuck base | Finger notch; ticket lip |
| Medium (3–8 kg / 6.6–17.6 lb) | B, ECT 38–44 | Auto-lock or reinforced tuck | Longitudinal divider |
| Heavy (8–15 kg / 17.6–33 lb) | EB double-wall, ECT 48–61+ | Auto-lock base | Cross divider; tall side-walls |
Printing, labeling & location control
We ensure bins scan fast, read clearly, and stay organized.
- Front matte label zones sized for ITF-14/Code 128/QR; quiet zones kept clear.
- 1–2 color flexo for logos, bay positions, and safety marks.
- Optional large ID panels on bin sides for long-range scanning.
- Color-coding (liners or spot blocks) supports zone picking and ABC strategies.
Assembly & operations
Staff assemble bins in seconds; no tape required on auto-lock versions.
- Fold sequence is printed on the dust flaps; first-time users complete a bin in <15 seconds.
- Bins nest flat for replenishment; replace only damaged units instead of whole modules.
- Optional anti-slip paper liners reduce product creep at the front edge.
- Dividers install tool-free and can be repositioned during range resets.
Sustainability & hygiene
- 100% paper-based; curbside recyclable in most regions.
- FSC options and high post-consumer content on request.
- Smooth kraft surfaces wipe clean; bins are inexpensive to swap out when contaminated.

FAQ
Can these bins replace plastic totes?
Yes. For shelf and light-to-heavy small parts, they provide equivalent organization at lower cost and weight, with better recyclability.
Do I need tape to assemble?
No for auto-lock bases; standard tuck bases also assemble without tape for most loads.
Can I run multiple SKUs in one bin?
Yes. Add longitudinal or cross dividers to create lanes. We pre-cut slots for quick changes.
Will labels stick and scan reliably?
Yes. We provide matte label zones and maintain quiet areas for clean reads.
How long do bins last?
Service life depends on load and handling. Selecting the correct flute/ECT and base style preserves shape through daily picks.
Can you pre-print locations?
Yes. We print bay/aisle IDs or color bands to match your WMS location schema.
Buyer’s checklist

- Dividers required (count and direction)
- Liner color (kraft/white) and any printing (logo, location codes, colors)
- Quantity tiers, delivery window, and destination/Incoterms
