Measure the full bottle
Include the pump head and any locking or opening position relevant to storage. A shelf that fits the bottle's body may not accept the full assembly, especially when replacement packaging changes slightly.
Decide where use occurs
If the bottle will be removed before use, test that removal motion. If you intend to operate it in place, follow the product's instructions and check whether the shelf location supports that intended use.
Check front restrictions
Doors, shelf lips or baskets can limit the hand's path. Represent these in a mock opening instead of testing only between two flat surfaces. The narrowest access point controls the experience.
Keep tall exceptions accessible
One tall product does not require every shelf to have the same generous opening. An adjustable section or neighboring location may handle it while preserving useful space for shorter supplies.
Illustrative scenario: most bottles fit a medium shelf opening, but a tall pump needs a separate adjustable section. Planning that exception avoids wasting height across the entire cabinet.
