Your countertop acts as a place for storing food and nonfood items, preparing food, and showcasing decorations. You can use clear plastic containers to better organize your countertop as well as make the most use of your countertop space and add to visual appeal.

Plastic containers are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, so choose the containers that best suit the kinds of items you want to store as well as how much countertop space you have to work with.

• Depending on the amount of countertop space you have to work with and the kinds of items you want to store, you might be able to use one large plastic container or several small containers.

Remember, you can display these containers in any manner you feel is most attractive for your kitchen – have fun with your countertop displays!

You can also find acrylic containers with hand grips to help you easily lift the containers when you need them and replace them when you’re finished, and keep in mind that plastic spoons are good tools to include with your containers so that you’ll never waste time looking for a way to scoop your food.

A store owner that wants to use a container as a display case in their store is more likely going to buy a clear container that allows the customer to see what is inside. They cannot only be used as display cases but also the help organize the store as well as store merchandise that can be ruined. Store managers can use the containers in the stock room, in their offices, and again on the sales floor as a display model. Only the storeowner can decide how he plans the use the plastic container but with so many options to choose from the possibilities and uses are endless.

If you place you food in a sealed plastic bag it may help keep the food fresher longer than aluminum foil will but you run the risk of that food being crushed or bruised. That is why plastic containers are ideal for storing food. Not only does it help to keep the food fresher longer, it also protects the food from being crushed or bruised.

Organization is another use for containers. Whether you are using them in your store as mentioned above or around the house clear plastic containers, or plastic containers in general, can be very helpful in organizing any room. If you have children in your house the containers are perfect for toy bins as well as being used to build a fort for the kids to play in. If used in the kitchen you can store not only food, but also spices and herbs used in cooking, as well as condiments. In bedrooms you can use them to store summer clothes in the winter and vise versa.

2. Organize and Store Small Children’s Toys

You’ve probably been to a toy store, or even a gas station or convenience store, and seen plastic containers of various shapes, sizes, and styles filled with small children’s toys like miniature stuffed animals or bouncy balls. Retail stores use these containers for a reason – they’re excellent for organizing, storing, and displaying these toys!

You can keep the containers in your garage, work shed, or other storage or work area and have the items organized and easily accessible once it’s time to get to work!

Remember: Depending on the items you want to organize, store, and display in your home, you might want to look for plastic containers with lids. Like all the other styles available, containers with lids are all too easy to find. Containers with lids are great for keeping food items fresh, like your pet’s treats, as well as keeping other items from scattering all over should you bump into or drop a container.

Whether you have old sports gear that is taking up space or you have a work bench cluttered with nuts, bolts, screws, and nails an container is your best bet at protecting your things.

• Restaurants: All restaurants can use food grade acrylic containers in their kitchens, and depending on the kind of restaurant you own you can use traditional round and square plastic containers up front for holding everything from dining utensils and napkins to breath mints and tooth picks.
• Amusement Parks: Amusement parks, theme parks, and carnivals can use acrylic containers to hold tickets and tokens, small prizes, and candy.
• Hotels and Motels: Not only can hotels and motels use food grade acrylic containers in their kitchens and dining areas, but they can also use regular acrylic containers in their lobbies for holding complimentary items like breath mints or bubble gum.

Now that you know how plastic containers can benefit your business, it’s time to figure out which kind of container you need. Consider Your Merchandise

The first thing to consider as you’re thinking about your store’s merchandise is its size. Do you plan to store and display large items or small items? For all storage and display needs, you need appropriately sized plastic containers.

For edible items, choose food grade acrylic containers with accessories like lids, handles, and aluminum or plastic scoops. You can find these kinds of plastic containers designed to stand alone on countertops, work with other containers on display racks, and even hang on walls. For non-edible items, you can use more traditional plastic containers, such as round or square containers without lids.

Consider Your Space

If you want to create a countertop display, make sure you choose plastic containers small enough to fit on your store’s countertop but large enough to allow your customers easy access to the merchandise. If you plan to place your containers on display racks throughout your business, make sure you choose containers appropriately sized for the racks you already have – or order racks that will both meet your store’s space needs as well as your container display needs.
