Plastic storage boxes

Plastic storage boxesThe vast majority of our storage boxes are made from plastic. Plastic storage boxes are strong, durable and will last an incredibly long time. If you are moving office / home then they are capable of withstanding some pretty heavy abuse from the removal company. They are also great products to use for general storage as they will not bend or weaken over time which will result in your documents remaining completely in tact.

One thing that you need to note when buying plastic storage boxes is that we also sell box lids and boxes seperately and as a box and lid set - you can apply the filters on the left hand navigation to select only the product type that you want.

Storage box lidsIf you are interested in simply buying a lid for a storage box perhaps for a box that you already own then you can choose from a range of different sizes. We have lids in both blue and clear colours and also supplied from two different manufacturers; Storemaster lids and also Strata lids.


Storage box

However, if you are looking for a storage box without lid then you will find a wide selection of colours, sizes and brands. The Raaco storage bins are a good product as they have a lowered side on one side of the box to allow for easy access and you can choose whether or not you want a lowered side or end.


Plastic storage boxesIf you are looking for a plastic storage box & lid then our range of Really Useful storage boxes will suit you well. They are easily stackable and come in a wide range of sizes. remember to check the pack size in the product description - many of the products are sold seperately but some come in multipacks. Most of the plastic boxes are clear in colour but we do stock some other colours.

Corrugated Card Storage Boxes

board storage boxesCorrugated board storage boxes are strong and reliable, perhaps not as strong as plastic but they will do a more than an adequate job of keeping everything in good condition. However, they are not as closely sealed as plastic storage boxes so if you need something to store papers for an extremelly long period of time then perhaps a plastic box is best for you. These storage boxes usually have double layers at the end to give them more support when moving. They are a more cost effective storage solution than the plastic boxes as they will only cost you about half as much as the plastic boxes. Many of these storage boxes are made from part recycled material or 100% recycled material - you will find this detail on the individual product pages.

R-kive storage boxesOur main supplier of the board boxes is Fellowes who have the ever popular R-kive storage box range as well as some more budget ranges. Most of the R-kive products are made from 100% recycled materials and are strong reinforced boxes. The standard size is WxDxH: 333x390x285mm which is made to suit A4 or Foolscap files and with the Fellowes oversized lid you can even use this product for A4 suspension files.

If you are specifically looking for storage boxes for lever arch files then you need a box with the following dimensions - WxDxH: 317x384x287mm. These will hold 5 Lever Arch Files and are also made from 50% recycled paper.

Your 'really useful' boxes look - really useful, but you give dimensions for a 12ltr box which isn't listed to buy and no dimensions for the sizes that are available to buy???????????????

Sorry guys, but I'm looking at "Strata Clearly Strong Storage Box Heavyweight Plastic Wheeled 50 Litre W390xD440xH430mm Ref HW685-CLR" and there's a photo with two different boxes shown! Nothing to say where the other one comes from.
Tom Rawlinson - 02 March 2010
Hi Tom
Agreed - the storage box image was somewhat misleading with there being two products in it. We are going to upload a new image today that just shows the single 50 litre Strata storage box so that there is no ambiguity. Unfortunately we do not stock the other size of storage box in this range.
Kind regards

I'm looking for boxes that will fit in a space of 220mm by 440mm made of strong plastic with a height of 130mm. Do you have anything that size or thereabouts. Would need about 100.
Pauline - 28 June 2010
Hi Pauline,
Thanks for your comment. I am delighted to say we have a strong plastic storage box that should fit into your space of 220mm by 440mm by 130mm. The plastic storage box in question is the Really Useful Storage Box Plastic Lightweight Stackable 5 Litre W200xD340xH125mm Clear Ref 3x5C [Pack 3] Product Code number 704249. This will provide just a 20mm space in the width, a 100mm gap in the depth and a 5mm space in the height, which is great to gain easy future access. If you require any further advice or help, please let us know.
