12" Wide Deep Basket
This compact wire basket is a 12-inch wide open-front display basket measuring 12 inches wide by 6 inches deep by 6 inches high. It mounts on slatwall and gridwall panels and is available in black, white, and chrome. The 6-inch depth makes it the shallowest-reach basket in the lineup — suited to panel positions close to the customer where a deeper basket would project too far from the wall.

Compact Wire Basket — Shallow Depth for Tight Panel Positions
Most baskets in this lineup project 12 inches out from the panel surface. This compact wire basket, however, projects only 6 inches — half the standard depth. That reduced projection matters in tight aisle positions where a full-depth basket would narrow the customer walkway. It also suits countertop-adjacent slatwall sections and any wall position where the basket must fit within a limited depth clearance. The 6-inch height gives adequate fill capacity for small accessories and packaged goods without the basket looking empty at standard fill levels.
Small Display Basket — Three Finish Options Including White
Three finish options cover the broadest range of retail panel systems in this category. Black suits dark-finish slatwall and gridwall environments. Chrome suits standard chrome gridwall and bright contemporary store environments. White is the only finish option unique to this model among the 12-inch baskets in the lineup — it suits white or light-finish slatwall panels and clean minimalist store environments where black or chrome hardware would create an unwanted contrast. Selecting the matching finish keeps the basket visually integrated with the surrounding panel accessories rather than drawing attention to itself.
Wire Construction — Visibility From All Angles
Open wire sides let shoppers see basket contents from the front and sides simultaneously. For small accessories and packaged goods, this multi-angle visibility is the primary display advantage over a solid-sided bin. The compact 6-inch depth also means the basket does not extend past adjacent panel accessories — it sits flush within the panel zone without projecting into areas used by faceouts or hooks mounted nearby. Furthermore, at 12 inches wide and 6 inches tall, the basket takes up a modest panel footprint, making it easy to combine with other accessories on the same panel section. According to Wikipedia's overview of visual merchandising, compact open-front display containers suit impulse merchandise positions where the basket needs to fit alongside other wall fixtures without dominating the panel layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compact wire basket differ from the 12"W x 12"D x 8"H deep basket?
Both are 12 inches wide. The key differences are depth and finish options. This basket is only 6 inches deep and 6 inches tall — a significantly smaller overall footprint suited to tight panel positions. The deeper version projects 12 inches from the wall and stands 8 inches tall, suited to high-volume bulk display. This compact version also adds white as a third finish option not available on the deeper model.
