When sourcing household waste bins, buyers often need more than one capacity. A small bin may suit a bathroom or bedroom, while a larger model is more practical for a kitchen or shared space.
For importers, wholesalers and homeware retailers, offering several sizes within one product range can make it easier to serve different customer needs without managing too many unrelated designs.
The OWIN T1037 pedal bin series is designed around this approach, with four capacities: 5L, 12L, 20L and 30L.
This article looks at the range from a buyer’s perspective, including its product features, size options and packing information.

1. One Product Series, Four Capacity Options
The T1037 series covers several everyday usage scenarios through four capacity options.
| Capacity | Product Size (cm) | Possible Application |
|---|---|---|
| 5L | 21.3 × 27 × 31.8 | Bathroom, bedroom, study or small office |
| 12L | 24.4 × 30.7 × 43.9 | Bathroom, bedroom, office or compact living space |
| 20L | 29.5 × 37 × 51.3 | Kitchen, apartment or general household use |
| 30L | 29.5 × 37 × 67.3 | Kitchen, larger household or shared indoor space |
These applications are general suggestions rather than fixed rules. The right capacity depends on the number of users, waste volume, available floor space and how frequently the bin is emptied.
For retailers, the four sizes can also create a straightforward product range:
- Smaller capacities for customers looking for compact indoor bins.
- Medium capacity for everyday household use.
- Larger capacity for kitchens and spaces with more frequent waste disposal.
Instead of introducing four completely different designs, buyers can consider whether a consistent appearance across several sizes fits their product assortment.
2. Practical Features for Everyday Use
The T1037 is a pedal-operated bin with a soft-closing lid. Its main features are relevant to buyers looking for a simple, familiar household waste-bin design.
Pedal operation
The pedal allows users to open the lid without lifting it by hand. This can be useful when carrying items or handling kitchen waste.
Soft-closing lid
The lid is designed to close gently after use. For household and indoor applications, this provides a more controlled closing experience than a lid that drops freely.
Stainless steel exterior
The product uses a combination of 410 stainless steel, PP and ABS.
The stainless steel exterior gives the bin a metal appearance, while the plastic components form part of the product structure. Buyers evaluating the product should consider the complete construction rather than judging it by the exterior material alone.
Multiple capacities within one design
A consistent product style across different sizes can help retailers present a coordinated range. It may also make product photography, catalogue presentation and assortment planning more straightforward.
3. Packaging and Shipping Information for Importers
Product selection is only one part of a sourcing decision. Carton dimensions, packing quantities and container loading estimates also affect the landed cost and the practicality of an order.
The T1037 series uses the following packing arrangement:
One piece per polybag + one piece per colour box + master carton packing.
The carton quantities and dimensions differ by capacity.
| Capacity | Pcs / Master Carton | Master Carton Size (cm) | CBM / Carton | Reference Qty / 40HQ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5L | 6 | 69 × 47 × 35 | 0.114 | 3,500 pcs |
| 12L | 4 | 53 × 53 × 47 | 0.132 | 2,000 pcs |
| 20L | 2 | 63.5 × 32.5 × 54.5 | 0.112 | 1,150 pcs |
| 30L | 2 | 64 × 33 × 70 | 0.148 | 890 pcs |
Container quantities are reference loading estimates based on the supplied packing information. Actual loading quantities may vary depending on the container, loading arrangement and final packing details.
Why carton information matters
When comparing products from different suppliers, buyers should not look only at the unit price.
A product with a lower unit price may not necessarily offer a lower shipping cost per piece. Carton volume, pieces per carton and the final loading arrangement all influence the logistics calculation.
For example, the 5L model is packed six pieces per carton, while the 20L and 30L models are packed two pieces per carton. This difference should be considered when planning a mixed-capacity order.
Buyers may find it useful to request the following information before confirming an order:
- Product dimensions and net weight.
- Master carton dimensions and gross weight.
- Pieces per carton.
- CBM per carton.
- Estimated container loading quantity.
- Colour-box artwork and packaging specifications.
4. How Can Buyers Plan a Mixed-Capacity Range?
A mixed-capacity range can help retailers and distributors cover more customer requirements, but the assortment should reflect the sales channel.
For homeware retailers
A retailer may consider displaying smaller and larger capacities together so customers can compare sizes and choose according to their available space.
For importers and wholesalers
A distributor can evaluate which capacities are most relevant to its existing customer base before deciding the order ratio.
For online sellers
Different capacities can serve different search and usage requirements. However, each size should have clear product dimensions and suitable packaging information to help reduce customer misunderstandings.
For project or hospitality suppliers
The appropriate capacity depends on the intended room or area, the number of users and the waste collection routine. A single capacity is unlikely to suit every location.
A practical starting point is to identify the main sales channel, select the most relevant sizes and then calculate the order mix based on expected demand.
5. What Should Buyers Confirm Before Ordering?
Before placing a bulk order for a pedal bin series, buyers should review the following points:
- Product construction: Confirm the material combination and the components included.
- Capacity and dimensions: Check the actual product size against the intended application.
- Lid operation: Evaluate pedal movement and soft-closing performance on the sample.
- Surface appearance: Confirm the stainless steel finish and colour requirements.
- Packaging: Review the colour box, polybag and master carton details.
- Carton information: Confirm carton dimensions, packing quantity and gross weight.
- Order assortment: Decide the quantity ratio for each capacity.
- Sample approval: Approve the product and packaging before mass production.
These checks help buyers compare quotations on a more consistent basis and reduce avoidable differences between the approved sample and the bulk order.
