How to pack storage boxes?

As a general rule, the heavier the item or items, the smaller the box they should be put in. This applies especially to cardboard packing boxes. Stronger containers such as plastic storage boxes, Euro containers or attached lid containers should be used for heavy items, while lighter items such as clothes or bed linen can be stored in weaker, cardboard boxes. When storing boxes on a racking or shelving unit, heavier boxes should always be placed at the bottom of the shelving solution for safety purposes.

 

 

What size storage box do I need?

The size of the storage box required will depend on its purpose. Ideally, the items will fit in the box without leaving too much space to spare or without being crushed against the walls of the box. If the boxes are being transported and are carrying particularly fragile items, polystyrene packing chips should be used to fill the rest of the box in order to protect the content from any potential damage. The heavier the content of the box, the smaller the box should be and the more durable the material of the box should be. For example, plastic storage boxes, Euro containers or attached lid containers should be used for larger, heavier items, whereas cardboard boxes can be used for lighter items.
