These boxes were on sale and represent a good value for organizing household items not just files. They are made of light-weight corrugated so are not well-suited for heavy duty use. The perforations to separate the lid and different sections of the box require additional cutting otherwise you risk bending the corrugated and weakening it if you just try to tear the sections.
Two years ago I needed to move my ailing mother from South Carolina to New Mexico. In order to get the house ready for sale I used cartons to pack my mother's housewares books papers sewing items tax and medical records clothing etc. These cartons were easy to load and stack onto a U Haul without adding too much weight to the truck total. They were sturdy enough that I was able to stack them up to 5 tall without them buckling. When I saw the sale on these I knew that they would be perfect for keeping confidential school records over the summer.
