Your Guide to Storage Boxes

Ensure you buy storage boxes that are right for the job, by considering the following:

 

- Strength & Capacity – Consider the weight of items you intend to store, whether the storage boxes are made of robust material and have the capacity to fit in what you need.

- Material – This may depend on what you intend to store, or may be design influenced, depending on the look and feel of the room it is to be stored in. Plastic storage boxes are usually the stronger choice for heavy items. An important consideration for catering companies is whether the boxes are made from food safe materials.

- Location – Where you intend to store your items will also affect which storage box would be best. Plastic is a hardy material, it can be easily cleaned and withstands being stored in the likes of garages, lofts, and warehouses.

- Lids & Handles – Lids are ideal for keeping items protected and free from dust. It also means they are easily stackable. Choosing a storage box with handles eases transportation and handling.

- Stackable – If you’re in need of many storage boxes or trying to organise a large space, stackable boxes are agood solution, as you can make the most of the space you have.
