Different Types of Plastic Containers for Product Sales

When you think about plastic containers for product sales, you probably think about traditional clear plastic containers in round, square, or hexagon shapes – and for good reason. These are the most popular and common kinds of containers for merchandise displays because they’re available in a wide variety of sizes and you can even find colored versions to add visual appeal to your product displays.

However, these kinds of plastic containers generally require countertop or table space or a display rack of some sort. If you don’t have that kind of space, or, you want to increase your display space, you can turn to other kinds of acrylic and plastic containers available for product sales – specifically, containers designed to hang from walls and wall fixtures and make the most of the space you have to work with within your store.

If your store includes the tools for slat wall displays or pegboard displays – or, if you’re thinking about including those display tools – check out the varieties of plastic containers below and discover new ways you can attractively and conveniently display your merchandise.

Visi-Bins

Visi-Bins generally come in three different forms: Those shaped like bins, buckets, or cups of varying depths, those shaped like trays, and those designed to hold gift cards. Thanks to all the different styles, Visi-Bins are fantastic types of plastic containers for product sales.

Most Visi-Bins are designed to hang from slat walls, but if you don’t have slat walls in your store you can find pegboard adaptors that allow you to hang them from pegboards. 

Visi-Bins are ideal for a wide array of merchandise, which makes them great plastic containers for product sales. Naturally you can use the gift card trays for holding gift cards, but you can use:

• The bucket-style Visi-bins to hold children’s toys like small plush stuffed animals, bouncy balls, or action figures. You can also use the cup-shaped Visi-Bins for holding tall, skinny items like novelty pens and pencils.
• The tray-style Visi-Bins to hold small boxed merchandise like sports cards, playing cards, or office supplies.

Hang-A-Jars

Hang-A-Jar containers work much like the Visi-Bins shaped like cups work. You can find them in different sizes and they generally come with wire hangers so you can position them on either a pegboard or a slat wall.

Hang-A-Jars are ideal plastic containers for product sales. You can use them to create displays of small children’s toys, novelty pens or pencils, and bulk wrapped candies.

Hanging Cubes

Hanging cubes are similar to Visi-Bins and Hang-A-Jars in that they’re great plastic containers for product displays on both slat walls and pegboards.

Like their name suggests, these product display containers are shaped like cubes, which makes it easy for you to position them side by side and make the most of your wall display space. You can use hanging cubes to display the same kinds of items you’d display in Visi-Bins or Hang-A-Jars – including small novelty toys and bulk wrapped candies – and because you can find them in several different sizes, it’s easy to display as many or as few items as you want.
