Storage Bins and Dividers for Storeroom Organization
Storage bins hold small-parts and unit-dose par stock in an open-front format that supports quick visual counts and fast picking. In healthcare storerooms they organize supply on wire shelving, on louvered wall panels and in cabinet drawers. Dividers subdivide drawers and bins so multiple SKUs stay separated in one footprint. This page covers the bin and divider formats stocked for central supply and departmental storage.
Bin and Divider Types Stocked
- Stackable shelf bins - Open-front bins that nest onto wire and solid shelving and stack front-to-back down a shelf. The Akro-Mils AkroBins line is widely stocked in graduated sizes.
- Hanging and louvered panel bins - Hopper-front bins that hang on louvered wall panels or rails to build a vertical pick wall in a storeroom or on a cart end.
- Stack-and-hang bins - Combination bins that both stack on the floor and hang on louvered panels, so the same bin works in either layout.
- Small-parts cabinets and cups - Compartment cabinets and individual parts cups for the smallest components, sutures kits, fittings and unit-dose items.
- Drawer dividers and bin cups - Adjustable dividers and drop-in cups that subdivide modular drawers and larger bins so several SKUs share one footprint without mixing.

Materials and Cleaning
Storeroom bins are molded in polypropylene that holds color and shape through repeated wipe-down cleaning, which matters where storeroom surfaces are cleaned on a schedule. Bins are stocked in several colors so a facility can color-code by department, product class or par zone. Label holders and adhesive label windows are available so bins carry SKU, par level and reorder point at the shelf edge.
Bins and dividers are the highest-turnover item in this section because storeroom layouts are built and rebuilt as par lists change. Ordering a graduated bin family in matched colors on one wholesale account keeps a facility able to expand a pick wall or reslot a shelf without hunting for compatible sizes later.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between shelf bins and hanging bins?
Shelf bins are open-front bins that sit on a shelf and stack front-to-back along it, so they organize par stock on existing wire or solid shelving. Hanging bins have a hopper front and hang from louvered wall panels or rails to build a vertical pick wall where there is no shelving. Stack-and-hang bins do both. Facilities often run shelf bins on racking and hanging bins on wall panels in the same storeroom.
What sizes of Akro-Mils bins are stocked?
AkroBins shelf bins are stocked in a graduated range from small parts sizes roughly 4 inches wide up to large 11 inch wide bins in multiple depths and heights, so a facility can slot the bin to the SKU size. Hopper and stack-and-hang formats are stocked in matching size steps. Contact the team for the current size chart and available colors.
Are dividers available to subdivide bins and drawers?
Yes. Adjustable dividers and drop-in bin cups are stocked to subdivide larger bins and modular storage drawers so several small SKUs share one footprint without mixing. Dividers are sized to specific bin and drawer families, so matching the divider to the bin line keeps the fit correct.
Can hospitals order storage bins in bulk?
Yes. Storage bins and dividers are stocked in case quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, laboratories and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for the graduated bin sizes used in repeating storeroom layouts. Contact the procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What bins should be in a storeroom formulary?
A bin formulary typically standardizes on one shelf bin line in three or four graduated sizes, a hanging or stack-and-hang bin for wall pick zones, a set of drawer dividers, and matched label holders, all in a color code the facility assigns by department or par zone. MAP Medical builds consolidated bin packages matched to storeroom size and layout - contact the team for an assessment.
