Nesting is worth measuring. A tote stacks by rotating it 180 degrees so the rims engage, and the nest ratio is how many empty totes fit in the space of one. Empty footprint saved equals the number of empties times (1 minus 1 divided by the nest ratio). For example, 400 empties at a 4.0:1 ratio occupy 100 positions instead of 400, recovering 300, while a 2.5:1 ratio would still need 160. Ask for the nest ratio of the model you are considering, because it changes the savings.
Size by the inside dimensions for your product and by the outside dimensions for the shelf, rack, conveyor, or truck. Sizing off the outside dimension alone is a common way to receive totes your product will not sit flat in. Check the load rating before you build a stack. A tote has a maximum load for its contents and a separate bottom-container support limit, and stack height is governed by the support limit. Those ratings assume an even, square stack on level ground.
Selecting the Right Container
◆ Choose by footprint first, with 18" x 11", 19-1/2" x 13-1/2", 19-1/2" x 15-1/2", 23-1/2" x 15-1/2", 23-1/2" x 19-1/2", and 29-1/2" x 19-1/2" available
◆ Choose the depth for your tallest item, from 6" to 15"
◆ Choose by inside dimensions for the product, and by outside dimensions for the equipment
◆ Compare carton price against the cost per container, since the smaller sizes ship 6 per carton and the larger sizes ship 3
◆ Choose a model by weight at full load, and confirm its stacking rating before building a stack
◆ Choose a straight wall tote instead if you do not need nesting and want the most interior volume
