Vol. 246: Custom Graphic Wraps

Transforming storage into a point of pride 

High-density storage is a great way to store more items in less space, and storage doesn’t have to be purely utilitarian. Custom graphic wraps can help reinforce branding and enhance the appearance of useful storage spaces at schools, universities, businesses, and other institutions. 

NOTE: Spacesaver does not provide graphic wrap design or application services. Sales reps need to work with their clients and their local graphics firm to coordinate the design and application of custom graphic wraps. If you don’t already have a relationship with a graphics firm, google “graphic wraps near me” to get started.

Vol. 245: Flexible Spaces at a University

Moving partitions provide collaborative space, storage, and display 

As universities renovate to meet modern demands, design teams are looking for creative ways to make the best use of available space. Spacesaver’s movable partitions create flexible rooms that can host collaborative work sessions, display student work, and provide secure storage for students’ personal belongings. The partitions can even slide together to make room for guest speakers and other events.

Vol. 244: Improving maintenance efficiency


High-density shelving, bins, and hanger rods optimize space

This maintenance shop serves a large, multi-building campus of a major pharmaceutical company. In addition to standard maintenance tools and supplies, the shop also stores pumps, gauges, and other highly specialized equipment for the firm’s research laboratories.

Due to rapid growth in the research labs, the maintenance supply and storage area was becoming overcrowded and difficult to use. Management called in the local Spacesaver consultant to work with staff and completely re-think the shop’s storage systems.

Vol. 243: Dust seals in high-density storage

Preventing dust accumulation in labs, museums, and other spaces

Maintaining a dust-free storage environment is crucial at laboratories, hospitals, museums, and other institutions that store delicate objects and materials. Removing dust can be almost as harmful as letting it accumulate, so the best way to prevent damage is to keep dust away from objects in the first place.

To minimize the risk of dust accumulation, Spacesaver offers flexible gaskets that seal the gaps between mobile shelving units when the aisles are closed. 

SALES NOTE: The standard 1” dust seal can be picklisted under the part name DUST SEAL. The 2” seal and/or non-off-gassing seals must be ordered as an ETO.

Vol. 242: Pull-Out Browsing Bins

Efficient, browsable bins save space and increase engagement

Although many library collections are going digital, patrons still like to browse books and audio recordings. Spine-out storage isn’t ideal for some types of these materials because patrons generally like to see the covers of children’s books, CDs, and other items when making their selections. Browsing bins are the obvious choice, and pull-out bins save space by allowing more bins to be stacked in the same vertical space.
