Warehouse pick bins
Using the right picking bins at your business is crucial for organisation, inventory protection, stock checks, quick fulfilment times and staff efficiency.
Picking bins are open-fronted storage containers used in warehouses, stock rooms, workshops and fulfilment centres. They allow businesses to organise and protect products whilst enabling quick access for order picking. Manufactured from corrugated cardboard, moulded plastic, or Correx®, picking bins help maximise product density, space availability, and the efficiency of picking staff.
At GWP Correx®, we design, manufacture and supply a range of standard-size and bespoke picking solutions. Our custom picking bins can maximise space at your premises, be perfectly sized for your products, and ultimately provide a more cost-effective long-term option.

FAQs
What are picking bins?
Picking bins are open-fronted boxes used to store and organise product inventory. They are commonplace in eCommerce, warehousing, and fulfilment applications, allowing picking staff to quickly and easily retrieve customer orders. Popular options include Correx® picking bins, stacking containers, and cardboard K bins.
Why are some picking bins called K Bins?
K-Bins® is a brand name for a range of shelf bins. K-Bins® are manufactured from corrugated cardboard and are available only in a range of standard sizes. You can, however, source all of the standard-sized cardboard picking bins from GWP Correx®, as well as custom sizes tailored to your specific requirements.
How do warehouse pick bins help with order fulfilment?
Warehouse pick bins can help minimise fulfilment times, helping staff to get orders picked, packed and shipped in less time. These improvements lead to better service and happier customers (who expect ever-shorter lead times, particularly with online orders). Similarly, using warehouse pick bins and pick boxes can also help minimise costly errors. Improving staff accuracy also reduces wasted time and helps to minimise customer returns.
Which picking bins are the cheapest?
Most styles of picking bins are available in Correx®, cardboard, and moulded plastic (usually polypropylene) materials. These options affect not only the performance and longevity of your chosen solution but also the upfront costs, with cardboard picking bins typically the lowest-cost option. However, it is essential to consider the “lifetime costs” of your picking boxes and bins. A solution that costs twice as much initially, but lasts four times as long, is the more cost-effective option in the long run.
What is a pick face?
A pick face wall is essentially a group of storage bins used in conjunction with one another to create a bank or wall of picking locations. Making a pick wall can involve adding parts bins to existing racking locations or stacking picking containers alongside each other to create your pick face wall.
