2. Place the sorted screws in dedicated storage containers. You can use a standard RAJA cardboard container or plastic models – if the screws are particularly heavy.
3. Pack the screws and nuts in plastic bags. You can put them in the storage trays without the risk of the nuts and bolts ending up all over the place if the container tips over. If you decide to pack your screws in foil packs, you can also make a difference in your online shop and sell, for example, sets of screws with nuts by the dozen.
4. Describe all containers of screws. If you have already finished sorting the screws in the warehouse, be sure to order labels, tags and hang tags for the trays. This way, you can easily label the containers, indicating the specific type, size and purpose of the screws.

1. Stack screws and nuts separately into containers and boxes. This arrangement also requires good organisation of the space on the storage racks. Put the nuts near the screws of a particular size – preferably right next to them. This will optimise your warehouse time and make order picking easier.
2. Start selling screws in plastic bags, e.g. by the dozen or several dozen. By opting for this form of screw stacking, you do not need to set up two separate containers for nuts and bolts. Selling in sets makes it much easier not only to ship, but also to store the goods in the warehouse.
