What Different Types of Storage Supplies Are There?

Sam's Club offers a wide variety of storage supplies and closet organization supplies/systems. They include:

  • Containers: These are various sized containers such as storage totes, storage baskets, storage boxes, and storage totes. These can be used for short-term or long-term storage in the attic, basement, or closets. Many are portable.
  • Furniture: Storage chests and storage benches designed to stay in one place while storing things out of sight. File cabinets also provide this kind of storage.
  • Organizers: Pieces like cabinet organizers or drawer organizers help you store things in specific places using the furniture you already have.
  • Shelves and shelving units: These are the pieces you need for a complete storage solution, like a closet shelving unit or garage shelves. Most shelving units offer incredible customization to fit your specific needs.

What Sizes of Storage Supplies Can I Choose?

Storage containers come in many different sizes and shapes, from shoebox-sized boxes to large heavy-duty storage totes.

If you're looking for a closet organizer, you can buy single-piece storage supplies, like a single closet shelf, or combine pieces together to create a closet that covers one wall or more. The size of closet storage supplies you purchase will depend on the size of your closet/storage area.

The first step is to measure your closet/storage area to plan your layout and storage organization product needs. Then you can figure out what storage supply sizes and quantities you need. The same is true when planning garage storage, workshop storage, pantry storage, or other rooms.

What to Consider when Buying Storage Supplies

You should consider several factors when you plan to purchase storage supplies:

Size of your storage area

This is vital when you're planning a closet organizer, but it's just as important when you're adding a rack with storage bins or a cabinet organizer for a dresser or wardrobe. Knowing the size of your storage area will help you maximize your storage area and stay as organized and clutter-free as possible.

Storage layout plans

Are you looking for storage solutions that go on shelves? Or do they need to be stackable? Know what your layout is, what size storage totes or bins will fit best, and plan your storage supplies purchase accordingly.

What you will be storing

Does something need to be protected from the elements, like photographs or antique fabrics? Do you need to store food in a secure container? Make sure you have ways to protect your possessions with the right storage containers.

Material

Do you need a heavy-duty plastic tote? Or do you want a storage basket or fabric storage cube that looks good on a shelf? Pick the material that works best for the storage solution you are planning.

Color

If your storage containers can be seen in a living room or other public space, make sure they match your home decor. Some people also use colors to keep storage bins separate - such as orange and black bins for Halloween items, red and green bins for Christmas decorations, etc.

Sam's Club offers members-only prices on storage solutions of all shapes and sizes. You'll find great value whether you're planning a whole closet organization project or picking up a few storage bins for the attic.

FAQ - Closet Organization

How do you store storage boxes?

Storage boxes can be stored on shelves in a closet, attic, or garage. Fabric storage bins or storage baskets are often used on shelves in bedrooms or living areas. You can use storage boxes just about anywhere, as long as you measure to ensure they fit and make sure that storage boxes are airtight when stored in places that aren't temperature-controlled.

What is a tote bin?

A tote bin is a storage solution with a latching lid. These bins are usually portable and stackable.

How to use storage bins

Storage bins are larger storage solutions that are often used for long-term storage or to store items that aren't used regularly. Holiday decorations used only a month or so out of the year or summer/winter clothes that are put away for months at a time are good examples. Often, people who move often, such as students, will keep items in storage bins so they can be easily moved from place to place when needed. They also work well in storage units.

What are the best storage containers for clothes?

Many people use fabric storage bins for clothes stored in a closet. You may also storage bins made of clear plastic bins so you can easily see clothes or shoes when selecting your outfit.

How much do storage containers cost?

You can find many individual storage containers for under $10 at Sam's Club. Larger storage solutions may cost between $100-$200. Assess your storage needs before purchasing to make sure you get the right storage solution for your budget.
