Spring Cleaning Tips for Your Warehouse

Spring has sprung, which means it is time for some spring cleaning! Spring cleaning doesn’t just apply to your home; it applies to your warehouse as well. Taking some time to do some spring cleaning in your warehouse can help your company be more organized and more productive in the months to come.

Check out some of the spring cleaning tips from Leader Box Corp. below, and let us know what you think!

1. Get Rid of What You Don’t Need

The first step for a spring clean should always be to clear the clutter by getting rid of what you don’t need anymore.

In your warehouse, this will mean evaluating your supplies and materials and deciding what you can do without. For example, if you have extra boxes you aren’t using, whether they are once-used or misprinted boxes don’t let them take up space in your warehouse.

At Leader Box Corp., we buy your misprinted or once-used boxes. You can sell your boxes to us to make a little money, help your company be more sustainable, and to also keep your warehouse free of un-used items.

2. Organize What You “Do” Need

You have probably heard the saying, “There should be a place for everything and everything in its place.” Well, it’s true!

Your company will want to come up with an organizational system that gives everything a place, and you will want that place to make sense. By organizing your warehouse well, you can increase your storage capacity and increase your productivity.

3. Keep Your Strategy Simple

There is nothing worse than a complex organizational strategy. You will want to keep your warehouse as organized as possible, but you want your employees to be able to easily figure out the organizational system. Creating a simple strategy will help make sure everything stays organized and is easy to find, which will help your company’s productivity and speed.

4. Evaluate Your Setup Regularly

Your warehouse may have an organizational system in place that has been used for years.  It is important to always evaluate the success of your current setup by making changes to make sure your company is being the most efficient, and effective in using your space. Think about your company’s needs and goals, and then evaluate the organization of your warehouse on a regular basis to see if it helps you meet these goals.  You can do this once a year or every few months depending on your company’s needs.

We hope this post gave you some ideas for giving your company’s warehouse a good spring cleaning. If you need to get rid of any overrun, misprint or once-used boxes while you clean, contact Leader Box Corp. We take pride in helping companies be more sustainable by buying and selling used boxes!
