Storage boxes are versatile containers designed for storing, organising, and transporting items efficiently. Also known as storage baskets, storage containers or storage crates, these boxes help keep your home, office, or workstation neat and well-arranged.

Storage boxes are commonly measured in volume, with their sizes expressed in litres. It is important to also consider their physical dimensions (length, width, height) to ensure they fit your specific space and storage needs. Boxes with the same volume may have different shapes and dimensions, so always check both volume and size before purchasing. Learn more in our [complete guide to storage boxes](https://sg.rs-online.com/web/content/discovery/ideas-and-advice/storage-boxes-guide).

## **Benefits of Using Storage Boxes**

Storage boxes and containers offer numerous advantages that improve organisation, efficiency, and safety across homes, offices, and industrial settings:

- **Improves Organisation and Reduces Clutter:** Storage boxes help keep spaces tidy by providing designated storage containers for items, reducing clutter and making it easier to locate materials quickly.
- **Maximise the Use of Space:** The use of stackable storage containers can make use of vertical space and save valuable floor space. This is especially important in warehouses and workshops where optimising floor space can lead to better operational efficiency.
- **Enhanced Protection of Contents:** Plastic boxes and storage containers protect items from dust, moisture, damage, and contamination. Specialised boxes, such as moisture-resistant or electrostatic discharge (ESD) conductive bins, safeguard sensitive equipment like electronics or perishable goods.
- **Increased Efficiency and Accessibility:** Using industrial storage boxes with features like handles, wheels, or transparent walls facilitates easy transport and quick identification of contents. This reduces time spent searching for items and speeds up picking, packing, and shipping processes.
- **Durability and Cost-Effectiveness:** Plastic and metal storage containers are built to withstand harsh industrial environments, heavy loads, and frequent handling. Their durability reduces the need for frequent replacements, making them a cost-effective long-term storage solution.
- **Safety Improvements:** Properly storing tools, materials, and inventory in sturdy storage boxes reduces workplace hazards such as tripping over loose items or damage from accidental impacts, contributing to a safer working environment.
- **Flexibility and Customisation:** Storage boxes and containers come in various sizes, colours, and materials, allowing businesses to tailor storage solutions to their specific needs. Colour coding and transparent designs aid in inventory management and quick visual checks.

## **Different Types of Plastic Containers**

Plastic containers for storage are available in a wide array of styles and designs, each offering specific benefits for organising, protecting, and transporting items.

### **Features**

Plastic storage containers offer versatile features designed for organisation. Stackable storage containers allow for efficient vertical storage, maximising space in warehouses or workshops. Vented options promote air circulation, ideal for storing items like electronics or produce. Other features include foldable storage box designs for space-saving when empty and storage boxes with lids for secure closure and protection of contents during transport or storage.

### **Size and Volume Capacity**

Plastic storage boxes come in numerous sizes, typically measured by volume in litres, but also by dimensions which are crucial for fit. Capacity ranges significantly, from small containers as little as 1 to 2 litres for organising small components like screws, cables, or fasteners, up to big storage boxes and tubs exceeding 85 litres, suitable for storing larger industrial equipment or bulky items. Always check dimensions for a precise fit.

### **Colour**

Colour options for storage boxes serve more than just aesthetics; they significantly aid in sorting, identification, and creating organised systems in various environments, from offices to industrial settings. Transparent storage boxes are particularly useful as they allow you to see the contents instantly without needing to open the lid, saving time and improving inventory management visually.

### **Material**

Plastic boxes are the standard material for storage solutions, offering durability, resistance to moisture, and a lightweight nature. For harsher conditions, industrial storage boxes are often built from heavy-duty plastic designed to withstand impacts, heavy loads, and temperature variations, making them suitable for factory floors, job sites, or outdoor use as robust outdoor storage box options.

## **Industrial Uses of Storage Boxes and Containers**

Storage boxes and storage containers are fundamental to efficient operations across various industrial sectors, providing essential solutions for organisation, storage, and transport of goods and materials. Their diverse types and features cater to specific industry needs.

### **Manufacturing**

In manufacturing, industrial storage boxes organise components, raw materials, and finished data acquisition products on the factory floor. They facilitate the movement of parts between workstations and are used in kitting and assembly processes, ensuring efficient material flow and inventory management. Stackable storage containers are particularly useful for saving space in production areas.

### **Warehousing and Logistics**

Storage containers are fundamental in warehousing and logistics for sorting, storing, and transporting goods. Foldable storage boxes save space when empty during return journeys. Stackable storage containers maximise vertical storage space. They are used extensively in picking, packing, and shipping operations, significantly improving efficiency in the supply chain from supplier to customer.

### **Construction**

On construction sites, robust industrial storage boxes are essential for securing and transporting valuable tools, equipment, and materials in challenging outdoor environments. Outdoor storage boxes protect contents from weather and debris. They help keep the site organised, improve safety by preventing misplaced items, and ensure that necessary tools and components are readily available where needed.

### **Retail (Distribution & Back-of-House)**

Storage boxes and containers are utilised in distribution centres for sorting stock and in back-of-house areas for organising inventory and supplies. Transparent storage boxes allow for quick visual checks of contents. Foldable storage boxes are often used for transporting goods between stores and collapsing for efficient storage or return trips, improving logistics efficiency within retail operations.

## **How to Choose the Right Storage Box for Your Needs**

When choosing the ideal storage box, take note of these key features to make the best choice:

- **Space Optimisation:** If maximising space is one of your top priorities, consider stackable storage containers. Their design allows you to make use of vertical space, increasing storage capacity and increasing usable floor space.
- **Protection Against the Environment:** For protection against dust, moisture, and pests, storage boxes with lids are essential. A lid shields the contents in the storage containers from the environment, which is important if you’re storing sensitive products like electronic components.
- **Material Durability:** Decide if you need robust storage boxes based on your intended use. While versatile plastic boxes offer a cost-effective solution for many needs, heavy-duty industrial storage boxes are specifically engineered to endure demanding industrial environments.
- **Content Visibility:** For quick and easy identification of stored items, choose transparent storage boxes that allow you to quickly identify the contents within.
