Nesting Totes FAQs
Why Would I Choose Nesting Totes Over Stacking Totes?
Nesting totes collapse into each other when empty, cutting the cube space they take up on a return shipment by as much as 70-80% compared to a stacking tote. That matters most in a closed-loop system where totes travel back and forth between a supplier and a facility -- less empty-return freight cost adds up fast over repeat shipments.
Can Nesting Totes Be Stacked When Full?
Most nesting totes have some stacking capability when loaded, but they generally aren't rated for the same stacked height or weight as a purpose-built stacking tote, since the tapered wall that lets them nest also makes a loaded stack less stable. Check the individual listing's stack rating before planning a multi-high loaded stack.
What Sizes Do Nesting Totes Come In?
Our nesting tote inventory spans small parts-bin sizes up to large bulk-handling totes, and sizing varies with what's currently in stock. Browse current listings for exact dimensions, or tell your rep your footprint and capacity needs and they'll flag matching inventory as it comes in.
Do You Carry New Nesting Totes for Matched Sets?
Yes, new nesting totes are available when you need a matched set in consistent color and dimensions, which matters most in an automated or closed-loop system where handling equipment is tuned to a specific tote geometry.
