round storage bins

Round storage bins are commonly used for toys, books, clothes, nursery items, general home and office organization (shelf storage), holding small accessories or keys, and—when designed as food containers—storing and transporting baked goods or leftovers.

Some round food containers include domed lids and snap/"click-and-close" lids with leak-resistant or secure seals that audibly click when closed; domed lids also help avoid compressing food.

Many round bins have built-in side handles or separate handles for easy carrying. Smaller woven sets are sometimes designed to nest for compact storage rather than to be carried.

Some woven sets are sold as nesting baskets for compact storage. Several food-style round containers are designed to nest inside each other when empty and to stack when full.

Listings show heights from about 2.9 inches up to around 18.5 inches. Capacities range from food containers at about 15.7–16 cups to larger storage bins up to about 38.2 quarts (listed as 2,352 cubic inches).
