When it comes to fixtures for storage and display,
plastic is one of the most common materials around. It’s no wonder, then, that large plastic containers are so popular when it comes to store owners organizing, storing, and displaying their merchandise items.
Below are just a few examples of the kinds of stores and businesses that can use large plastic containers for display or storage purposes:
- Candy stores
- Grocery stores
- Bookstores
- Toy stores
- Convenience stores and gas stations
- Hotels and motels
- Yogurt shops, ice cream parlors, and bakeries
If you’re still not sure whether large candy containers would benefit your business, below are five fairly common ideas for using these containers in your business.
1. Large Plastic Jars Are Great Fixtures for Candy Displays
Large plastic containers like jars are excellent fixtures for candy displays – whether you manage a candy store, grocery store, or even a bookstore!
Unless you plan to display wrapped candies, you’ll need candy jars with lids and most likely accessories like aluminum or plastic scoops so your customers can easily access the candy without contaminating those pieces they don’t want.
2. Find Large Plastic Jars to Help You Store and Display Food
If you plan to use plastic containers to store and display food (aside from wrapped products like wrapped candy), make sure you choose food-grade containers.
In addition to plastic jars, you can also find acrylic food-grade containers with accessories like lids, handles, handgrips, tongs, and scoops that help keep the food fresh and safe from debris as well as help your customers more easily access the food they want without touching any of the rest of it.
3. Use Large Plastic Jars to Display Convenience Items
Convenience items – such as small, travel-sized bottles of hygiene products like shampoo, lotion, soap, and toothpaste – work well displayed in plastic containers and jars. Other small convenience items you might want to consider include lighters, eyeglass repair kits, and on-the-go sewing kits.
4. Large Plastic Jars Help Offer Complimentary Items to Customers
Chances are, not every display in your store is meant to display items for sale; many establishments – from restaurants to hotels – offer complimentary items to their customers.
Depending on the kind of business you manage, you can use large plastic containers to store, organize, and display complimentary items like matchbooks, hand wipes, toothpicks, and breath mints. If you operate a hotel or motel, you might even want to use these containers to hold your rooms’ soaps, shampoos, conditions, toothpastes, mouthwashes, and lotions.
5. Use Large Plastic Jars to Create Novelty Item and Toy Displays
Whether you manage a candy store, convenience store, grocery store, or bookstore, chances are you have at least one or two kinds of merchandise that fall under the “novelty” or “toy” labels. These items might be small, plush children’s toys or bouncy balls, or they may be “stress balls” geared more toward adults. No matter what the items are, if they’re small enough to fit in large plastic containers you should consider these containers to display them.
