Want to achieve efficient palletized merchandising for your products in Sam's Club stores? The Dump/Bulk Bin is one of the most frequently used solutions! Today, we’ll break down this official guide to help you meet the specifications accurately.

1. Ideal Use Cases: Prioritize for These Products

Dump/Bulk Bins are designed for non-weight-bearing soft goods (e.g., pillows, towels, pet beds, etc.). They’re perfect for scenarios requiring large-capacity displays and handling via forklifts or clamp trucks.

2. Core Design Specifications: Dimensions, Materials & Structure

1. Strict Dimension Standards

- Dump/Bulk Bin itself (excluding pallet):

  - Front width: 39 inches; Side width: 47 inches

  - Height: 44–50 inches (including top cap)

- Total height (with pallet) must not exceed 52 inches

- Base footprint: Minimum 45×37 inches; Maximum total underhang: 3 inches

2. Material & Strength Requirements

- Dump/Bulk Bin body: Use EB-flute corrugated board, meeting ECT 51 and 350 bursting strength standards

- Top caps/shrouds: Use C-flute corrugated board, meeting ECT 44 and 275 bursting strength standards

- Key requirement: The material must maintain the bin’s shape and withstand handling/stacking throughout the entire logistics cycle

3. Structural Details

- Height corner posts must be glued to all 4 corners to reinforce support

- All openings require fold-over treatment

- Base trays or inner bottom pads are recommended (to prevent bottom damage when bins are handled by clamp trucks)

3. Practical Compliance & Pitfall Avoidance Tips

1. Merchandising requirement: At least 3 sides must be accessible to customers; no overhang or obstruction is allowed

2. Package testing: Must meet ISTA 6-SAM'S CLUB transit performance requirements

3. Transit protection: Top shipping caps or top sheets are mandatory to protect the top layer during transit

4. Prohibited items: No false bottoms; no oversize/overweight configurations
