Basic Boxes perfect for light moving

Posted by: Paula K.
My husband recently moved his accounting offices across town. The firm has tons of files! As with most moves they had more stuff than they bought boxes for so I ran out last minute to pick up more. Thankfully they were in stock at our local Staples. The boxes are easy to assemble strong and reusable. Since their move we've taken some boxes home and cleaned out some of our own clutter. These boxes are not meant for storing rocks or anvils and the lids are not very deep so they are not ideal for long-term stacking of a lot of heavy boxes on top of each other but three boxes that are not over-stuffed should be fine.
For many years of multiple office and home moves including cross country these boxes are our go to. We use them to store records files and all sorts of stuff. They work great for book and files because they are small compact and durable and can't be overloaded by the inexperienced packer. They also stack neatly and are easy to carry. Another benefit to these boxes is they deconstruct and can be used again and again. Although you want to be careful dismantling the lid because the little flaps on the long sides can tear off when unfolding the sides.
I chose this product because of the packaging (10 in a bundle) and the price but it has proven to be a much better bargain than the more well-know name brand. I put the boxes to immediate use for both storage and record-keeping. I am a person who needs to have good organization because I can easily lose track of stuff. They were easy to put together and seem every bit as strong as the "other" brand. I appreciate Staples and now do business only with Staples on any of the items you sell. Good Work
While I did purchase boxes from Home Depot the Staples Economy Storage Boxes are strong and durable! I'm so glad I purchased two 10 packs of this size as well as two packs of another size! AND each box has its' own cover making it easy to secure and not tear the flaps like we did with the Home Depot boxes. The Staples' boxes are so much stronger than the ordinary boxes you get at other stores like home repair stores. The lids are made of the same material and are equally strong and durable and easily written on to identify the contents! Great product!
