Plastic storage bins – Create order in the kitchen and refrigerator

Plastic containers make it easy to group food items in fixed zones, so you can quickly see what is in the cabinets, drawers, refrigerator, and freezer. When the containers are clear and stackable, you can create a calm system that is easy to maintain. Start by choosing 2-3 sizes that fit your shelves, and stick to repeating them. This helps you avoid clutter, and you can change habits without having to alter the entire system. See the full range of Storage Containers.

Plastic storage boxes are great when you want to group larger quantities and keep categories separate. Use them in the pantry for dry goods such as pasta and rice, in the beverage center for extra food items, or in the freezer for fruit and bread. Choose clear boxes so you can see the contents at a glance. Arrange the boxes in straight rows and give each shelf a purpose, such as breakfast, cooking, and snacks. This provides an overview and makes it easy for the whole family to put the items back in the same place.

A lid provides a uniform look and makes stacking stable. It is practical for containers with many small food items that quickly become cluttered: snacks, cold cuts, and small yoghurts. In the refrigerator, you can close each container with a lid and stack them on top of each other to optimize space. In the pantry, lids can keep small bags and loose packages together so they do not tip over when you take out a container. Make sure to use the same few sizes in a section—then it is easy to swap and adapt when your needs change.

Stackable plastic boxes utilize the height of the shelf and make it easy to create order. When you pull out the box, you can quickly see the contents and put it back again. Stick to fixed rows and use a clear logic: for example, everything for cooking on one shelf and everything for snacks on another. Combine boxes with a turntable in the refrigerator for small bottles and jars that need to be easily accessible from all sides—a practical choice is a plastic turntable with a high rim.

• XS: Berries, small snacks, cherry tomatoes, and open small containers. A practical example is the XS refrigerator box, which keeps small food items together.
• Small: Smaller dairy products, children's snacks, and portion-sized fruit.
• Medium: Cold cuts, larger dairy products, fruit and vegetables, as well as open jars and containers.

Plastic refrigerator boxes create a calm overview on the shelves. Start by dividing into zones: breakfast, produce, cooking, snacks, and leftovers. Place a box in each zone so everyone knows where the food items live. Small boxes are particularly useful for loose items such as snacks, cold cuts, and small containers. When you choose boxes with lids, you can close the boxes with their own lids and stack them on top of each other to optimize space in the refrigerator. A complete system is easy to build with products from Refrigerator.

In kitchen cabinets, plastic containers work well together with clear glass jars, so you get both robust storage and a calm visual appearance. Use plastic for items that are frequently in use, and supplement with Storage Jars for dry goods, spices, and the baking corner. Arrange the containers and jars in straight rows so that all labels and openings face the same way. Keep basic staples on the middle shelves and extra stock on top. If you want to quickly achieve a coordinated setup for the refrigerator, a refrigerator package can be a simple solution—see the refrigerator package.
