Inside an NYC Dispensary: Cannabis Storage with Modular Bin Shelving
If you run a dispensary in a busy market like New York City, you know how important it is to stay organized. One of our dispensary shop customers sent in this photo showing off their back-of-house bin shelving setup they purchased from Industrial 4 Less. It’s a perfect example of how a well-thought-out storage system can help staff move faster, keep things tidy, and make compliance a lot less stressful.
What’s in the Photo


Product SKUs (estimated): Assorted sizes of clear shelf bins and shelf bins with heavy-duty steel shelving

Product Category: Modular bin shelving for cannabis retail operations

Setting: Inventory storage room in a licensed NYC dispensary

Industry: Cannabis - adult-use retail in a regulated New York market

Primary Use: Storage and dispensing of packaged flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vape cartridges, concentrates, and accessories

Problem Solved: Reduces search time, speeds up order fulfillment, and supports visual inventory control in a space-limited setting

Real-World Functionality for Urban Dispensaries
Space is at a premium in New York, and this shelving system makes every inch count. The dispensary uses multiple bin styles to organize everything from concentrates to pre-roll packs:

Smaller bins for items like vape carts, loose pre-rolls, and batteries
Medium bins for gummies, chews, or tincture boxes
Larger bins for packaged flower jars, pouches, or restock inventory

The clear design means staff can see what’s in stock instantly without opening drawers or bins. It's a huge time-saver during busy hours and helps prevent mis-picks or accidental stockouts.

Tips for Your Own Setup

Use dividers to sort products by category (e.g., flower, edibles)
Reserve lower bins for returns, quarantines, or bulk overflow
Run a weekly stock audit to keep inventory in check
