Industrial Insights: 4 Storeroom Solutions To Bolster Your Business
It might seem mundane, but the way your business handles its storage has a profound effect on the rest of the business. Have you ever asked yourself what can be done to make a storeroom more efficient or useful, and how does it affect the business attached to it? We’ve compiled our 4 top tips and tricks that can turn your storeroom around, and in turn bolster your business.
Keep food fresh
One of the most common items in an office storeroom is tea, coffee and biscuits for the staff. Sometimes, there are other types of food as well, such as lollies, chocolate or even fresh fruit. Of course, it’s impossible to predict just what will be eaten and when. Save costs and avoid food wastage by investing in some food storage solutions, such as a vacuum sealer, sealed containers and ziplock bags. This way, the office food will last for longer and you will save money!
Store valuable goods effectively
Other items found in the storage room of a business often consist of important files, documents and books. But how will you keep these vital papers away from pests and decay? A key habit to get into is to start storing your documents in metal or plastic boxes, as opposed to cardboard. That way, pests like termites, cockroaches and rats won’t be able to chew through the box. If you want to go one step further, a shrink wrapper can maintain your document’s lifespan far longer than any other storage system.
Labels are your friend
A storage room is only as good as its labels! A business storage room will be home to many items of all various natures. Food, documents, lost property, safety wear, stationery, to name a few. When organising your storage room, take the time to make clear and concise labels with custom printing tapes.
Rubber bands, cable ties and sticky tape
Another great storage room staple to have on hand is a good collection rubber bands, cable ties and adhesive tapes. These are the items that you only ever seem to need when they aren’t around! Don’t be left stranded and frustrated next time you’re trying to store some difficult-to-seal items, and make sure you have a good selection of these basic items on hand.
It’s as easy as having the basics on hand, and perhaps having one or two machines to do the heavy duty sealing work. Whether that be a pallet wrapper, a shrink wrapper or a vacuum sealer, you won’t know what you did before it! As well as this, make sure the room itself is organised in an effective flow, and all items are clearly labelled. This will not only save you time, but will also cut costs for your business as well – which is what success is all about.
