Products to Help Organize Your Tupperware

Interlocking Containers and Lids

• Companies that manufacture food storage containers are becoming increasingly aware of the frustration consumers feel finding storage solutions for their Tupperware. Look for products that are designed to stack and that have interlocking lids, so the set fits and stays together in a drawer or cupboard. Interlocking lid-and-box sets are designed to minimize storage of your Tupperware collection and prevent the loss of matching lids.

Organization Systems

• Lazy Susan-style storage units are also available. The Smart Spin storage system is a rotating tower that can be installed in a cupboard. You can pull out the storage unit when you need it, and slide and lock it back into place when finished. The Smart Spin comes with its own plasticware and lids, with volume markers listed on the sides of the containers for reference. The storage unit does not occupy any more space than a coffee maker.

Storage Caddies

• If you have experienced problems with missing Tupperware lids, consider installing a slim-profile plastic caddy on the inside of a cupboard door. Storing Tupperware containers separately from lids can help reduce the amount of time spent rifling through a drawer's containers in a quest to find a matching set. Plasticware lids storage caddies are available in plastic or metal, and can be attached to a cupboard door with double-sided tape or a hammer and nails.

Nesting Boxes

• Tupperware-style containers are also available in a Russian-nesting-doll design. Nesting sets of plasticware are designed so that varying sizes of plastic containers fit neatly inside one another, with extra space to accommodate lids. Nesting storage containers will ensure that your Tupperware is always in one place, and it will occupy only the space required by the largest container.
