Im starting to look into a better organization and storage solution for my shirts and goods.
One thought was the Akro-Mils stackable storage bins, as the current idea just aint working out well.

Right now Im using small, 6qt shoebox sized totes on a heavy duty plastic storage rack from Home Depot.
The small storage totes are cheap, a buck, but they dont allow for stacking (as I have more shirts than one will hold with a lid on it).

So Ive been looking at these items, much more than a buck a pop, some as much as 8 each, some as cheap as 4 each. But there are so many sizes and I could really get a 'perfect' (assumption) size for my needs and utilize the height/space between the different shelves on the storage rack that I have (which, currently, a lot is being wasted).

Anyone have experience with them? Of good quality?
Know of a local supplier which might be cheaper than buying from Amazon (wont bore you with link, as there are LOTS)?

I figure if/when this shirt thing is done then I could always use the bins in the garage too.
 
A guy I watch on youtube, DemolitionRanch/OffTheRanch/VetRanch, just started his own merch store, has shared the process of getting it started, moving from his garage, and into the warehouse... and I believe that is what he's using. He got his advice from RomanAtwood who is behind the SmileMore brand. Based on that, I'd say these are a solid choice.

I've seen people use free flat rate boxes, but of course sizes are a bit limited, or you could simply build dividers into your shelving and have full shelf height organization (assuming shelving is against wall).
 
Well I ordered some a couple days ago (Friday?) and they'll be here Monday or Tuesday (I think its Monday, but it might be Tuesday, I know I selected for it to come a day later and get a digital music credit).

We'll see how they are
I just am finding that the little bins that I was using is not working well. A lot of wasted space on my shelves, no stacking for most colors and sizes of shirts etc

I think this will work, we shall see.

As for Demo Ranch - that guy's videos are great
 
Well they came today!...but I ordered the wrong thing. What I order does NOT stack.
The size is great, can get 7-8 medium or large shirts in one, and usually dont keep but about that in L and XL,but I bought the wrong kind. So back to Amazon and finding the RIGHT kind, the kind that will stack on top of each other.
But theyre nice, thick plastic, feel like good quality!
