UbeCube System / Bins + organization
Less digging. More doing.
A crate gives your stuff a home. The right bins give everything inside it a place. UbeCube Grab Bins are removable, rigid storage bins designed around the UbeCube crate system. Four sizes help you choose between a few roomy categories and detailed small-parts sorting.
Use Grab Bins for the items you want to separate, Fabric Bins for softer storage, and a Grabinet Outfitter Kit when you need the bins and matching shelf or divider components to outfit a crate you already own. Clear front label-card holders on Grab Bins make each category easy to identify.
Instead of reaching into one deep catch-all, pull out the category you need, carry it to the work area, and return it when you are done. Start with the gear you use most and build a layout around how you actually work, play, or get ready to head out.

View Fabric BinsChoose the layout by what goes inside
Lay out the items first. Group things you reach for together, then separate anything that gets lost in a larger pile. A few broad categories may suit a two- or three-bin layout; small parts usually benefit from more individual spaces.
For example, keep a whole project together in a larger bin when you usually carry it to the same workspace. Choose smaller bins when the job is finding one specific fastener, craft component, or hobby part. These are planning ideas: compare your actual items with the selected product’s details before committing to a layout.
These layout names describe the organization pattern, not measurements in inches. Check the product details against the items you want to store before choosing a size.
Grab Bins or a Grabinet Outfitter Kit?
Choose individual Grab Bins when you are adding or replacing bins within your existing setup. Choose an Outfitter Kit when you want the bins and supporting shelf or divider components for a specific layout.
The Outfitter Kits upgrade a crate you already own; the crate is separate. The 1×2 and 1×3 kits use CrateShelf components. The 2×2 and 3×3 kits use their corresponding divider components. Pick the kit that matches your planned layout rather than assuming that every size uses the same hardware.
In the shelf-based layouts, the 1×2 kit supplies two CrateFins and one CrateShelf; the 1×3 supplies four CrateFins and two CrateShelves. In the divider-based layouts, the 2×2 kit supplies four CrateRails and one 2×2 CrateDivider, while the 3×3 supplies four CrateRails and four CrateDividers. Those supporting parts create the layout that the removable bins slide into.
Go softer with Fabric Bins
Rigid bins are useful for divided categories. Fabric Bins bring a softer look to clothing, toys, linens, and household supplies. Both Half and Full Size versions have dual cutout handles, and both collapse flat after you remove the base insert.
Choose a full bin for one larger collection. Choose half-size bins when you want a more divided crate layout with suitable shelf or divider support. A closet or hobby setup can use fabric storage in one crate and rigid bins in another, keeping different categories together in the same larger system.
Make the categories work for your space
A closet, playroom, and workshop do not need the same sorting plan. In a closet, group the accessories you reach for together. At a craft table, separate small supplies by the project or material. In a playroom, use categories that are simple enough to put back without re-sorting every piece.
Use labels as part of that routine. Choose a name that tells the next person where an item belongs, and change it when the contents change. If you share the setup, agree on the categories before filling every bin. A system that is easy to reset is more useful than one that only looks organized on day one.

Make it easy to keep organized
- Sort by the task. Keep items you use together in the same category instead of separating them only by shape or color.
- Label for the next person. Use clear category names that make sense at a glance. Update the label when the contents change.
- Keep frequent-use categories accessible. Put the bins you pull most often where you can comfortably reach them.
- Leave room to adjust. Try one crate layout with your actual gear before repeating it across a larger setup.
Think of the bins as a working system. If one category becomes crowded while another stays empty, change the plan. The goal is a setup you can use and reset without a scavenger hunt.

UbeCube bin FAQs
How many Grab Bins fit in one UbeCube crate?
The four matching layouts hold two Extra-Large 1×2 bins, three Large 1×3 bins, four Medium 2×2 bins, or nine Small 3×3 bins. Use the shelf or divider components appropriate to the layout.
Can I remove and label the Grab Bins?
Yes. Each bin lifts out independently, and the clear front label-card holder lets you identify its contents and change the label when you reorganize.
Does an Outfitter Kit include a crate?
No. These Outfitter Kits provide the bins and the supporting shelf or divider components to upgrade an existing crate. Check the selected kit’s product page for its included parts.
What are Grab Bins made from?
The Grab Bins product page specifies foam-filled, impact-resistant polypropylene.
Do Fabric Bins fold flat?
Yes. Remove the base insert, then collapse the bin. Fabric Bins come in Half Size and Full Size versions with dual cutout handles.
Is BaseBox waterproof?
BaseBox is water-resistant, not a fully waterproof or submersible case. Up to three BaseBoxes can stack inside a UbeCube crate; the modular interior bin set is optional.
