Shipping containers have become a popular choice for a variety of applications, and at Simple Shipping Containers, we’ve seen firsthand the many ways in which they can be used. In this article, we’ll share some case studies of how shipping containers have been used in a variety of settings, including as temporary or permanent housing, retail spaces, and event venues.

Custom shipping containers have been used to create unique and innovative spaces for events and businesses. For example, a local brewery in Wichita, KS used a custom shipping container to create a pop-up bar for a music festival. The container was outfitted with a custom bar, seating, and a sound system, creating a unique and memorable experience for festival-goers.

Shipping containers have also been used as temporary or permanent housing solutions. In disaster-stricken areas, shipping containers have been used to provide quick and affordable housing for those who have lost their homes. They have also been used as a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional housing in areas with high housing demand, such as college towns.

Shipping containers have even been repurposed into retail spaces. In one case, a shipping container was converted into a coffee shop, complete with a barista bar, seating, and electricity. This unique and eye-catching space was a hit with customers and helped the business stand out in a crowded market.

These are just a few examples of the many ways in which shipping containers can be used.
