40d:Bin
A Bin is a specially made basket for certain stockpiles. It cannot be made of stone, but can be made of wood and metal. Bins make it possible to store lots of objects into one tile of a stockpile. A stockpile without a bin will likely fill up fast, leaving any remaining items where they are to get in the way.
Stockpiles that use bins include ammo, armor, weapons, leather, cloth, gems, finished goods and bars/blocks (note: this is not a complete list). A stockpile that does not use a bin will use a barrel or no container at all.
When possible, dwarves will organize stockpiles with multiple bins into subgroups. Dwarves can mix items in a bin when given the order to through the stockpile menu.
