Over time, overhead bins evolved out of what were originally overhead shelves that were used for little more than coat and briefcase storage. As concerns about falling debris during turbulence or in accidents increased, enclosed bins became{{when|date=January 2014}} the norm.

Newer bin designs have included a handrail, useful when moving through the cabin.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-10-09 |title=There's a Secret Handrail on Planes You're Not Using |url=https://www.cntraveler.com/story/theres-a-secret-handrail-on-planes-youre-not-using |access-date=2024-03-06 |website=Condé Nast Traveler |language=en-US}}</ref>
