Organize Your Pantry with MeshWorks Nest Bins

Quick answer

Group pantry items by type, then place each group into a MeshWorks nest bin. The built-in handles let you carry the bin to the counter, and the stackable design saves shelf space.

Steps to organize your pantry with MeshWorks nest bins

1. Empty and sort your pantry shelves: Take everything off the shelves. Group items by category: baking supplies, snacks, spices, sauces, and so on. Discard anything expired. Common mistake: trying to sort while items are still on the shelf. You will miss duplicates and expired goods.
2. Choose the right bin size for each group: Use the 7 x 7 x 5 in bin for medium-sized groups like spice packets or tea bags. Use the 5 x 5 x 4 in bin for very small items like sauce packets, toothpicks, or twist ties. Check that the bin fits your shelf depth before filling it. Measure first.
3. Place items into bins and label if needed: Fill each bin with one category. If the bin will sit on a high shelf, add a small label on the front or use a piece of tape on the handle so you can read it from below. Do not overfill the bin. Leave a little room so you can grab items without spilling.
4. Nest and stack bins to save space: Stack identical-sized bins on top of each other. The mesh design keeps them stable. If you have extra bins, nest them inside one another when not in use. Stack only bins of the same size. Mixing sizes creates an unstable tower.
5. Return bins to the shelf and maintain: Place the filled bins back on the pantry shelf. Wipe the epoxy coating with a damp cloth if needed. Rotate stock so older items are used first. Check every few months for spills or crumbs inside the mesh. A quick wipe keeps the bins fresh.
