How to Organize Tupperware

1 Use labeled storage bins.
  1. Using kitchen cabinet storage bins ensures you’re able to quickly grab what you need. They are a great option because they’re designed to be compact and with many having built in handles, they’re super convenient. You can organize your bins by:
    • Lids and Containers
    • Brand
    • Size and shape
    • Most used and less used
2 Try a pot lid organizer for your lids.
  1. Storing lids vertically allows you to take one out without sending the rest tumbling. Unlike Tupperware containers, Tupperware lids can’t be easily nested, making them difficult to store and easy to lose. This storage method provides each lid its own slot and prevents them from becoming a messy cluster. For easy storage, look for a rack-like organizer that can easily fit into your Tupperware cabinet.
3 Use a stackable organizer to increase your storage space.
  1. Double your cabinet space with a stackable organizer. Sometimes all you need to achieve neat organization is more space. With an elevated shelf and open bottom, this storage method can transform your cabinets from camped to roomy. These organizers can stand alone, or if you have taller cabinets, they can also be stacked.
4 Try an over-the-cabinet-door organizer.
  1. Fear not if you don’t have room in your cabinets! An over-the-cabinet-door organizer can add space to a crowded cabinet and make reaching for your Tupperware easier. Simply choose whether you want your organizer to hang inside or outside your cabinet and hook the organizer over the cabinet door.
    • Opt for a narrower organizer if you’re planning to only store your lids, or choose a wider organizer if you want to store both Tupperware containers and lids.
5 Use under-shelf baskets.
  1. Under-shelf baskets are fantastic for keeping your containers and lids together. This is a great option if you have tall cabinets. Under-shelf baskets can be hung from shelves in cabinets to create extra storage space underneath each shelf. Ensure you’ll never have a missing lid again by hanging your Tupperware lids above their containers.
    • These are a great option for those who don’t want to use any drills or screws. With its easy, slide-in installation you’ll be on your way to organized Tupperware in no time.
6 Use a pull out organizer.
  1. Use pull out organizers to make all your Tupperware reachable. This method prevents you from blindly digging in the back of your cabinets for what you need. It can be as easy as placing a plastic pull out organizer in your cabinet. The sliding drawers will make finding Tupperware very convenient. If you’re handier, you can use screws to install a permanent, wire frame organizer.
7 Put your Tupperware in a carousel organizer for easy access.
  1. Easily spin the carousel organizer to find the containers you need. Place this organizer in your cabinet for a smart alternative to rummaging through the back of your cabinets. Get one that fits both containers and lids, like the Spin and Store organizer so you can easily spin it to find what you need.
8 Divide your drawers.
  1. Divide a deep drawer for space efficiency. Using a deep drawer to store Tupperware is another effective solution to messy Tupperware cabinets. Adding drawer dividers helps keep your containers and lids in tidy stacks. They can be slid into your drawers and expanded to separate and organize your Tupperware, as well as be easily rearranged and removed to meet your sorting needs.
9 Use a peg board.
  1. A peg board base will hold your Tupperware firmly in place. Placing a peg board base in a drawer is a simple way to categorize your Tupperware and keep them from moving around as you open and close the drawer. Peg board bases come in all different sizes to accommodate your drawer size. Once the base is in the drawer, place your Tupperware on top and place the dowels around the containers and lids. It’s a flexible system that can be adapted as your Tupperware collection grows and shrinks.
10 Invest in a designated Tupperware organizer.
  1. Off-the-shelf Tupperware organizers are a wonderful, low-effort option. They’re designed specifically to store and organize all your Tupperware lids and containers. All you have to do is unpack it and place it in your kitchen!
    • If your Tupperware lids are giving you trouble, an organizer specifically made for lids like the Youcopia StoraLid Food Container Lid Organizer is a great adjustable and compact option.
    • However, if you’re looking for something to fit all your Tupperware, the X-Cosrack Double Sided Expandable Food Container Organizer might be more up your alley. It has adjustable dividers to ensure you’re able to fit any size container.
