These boxes are easy to unfold and ready and the price is such that you can buy lots as needed. So you can put lots of small bubble-wrapped items in or pack them with books or store old papers. With a lot of them they stack easily aren't too heavy and the white color makes it easy to grab any old marker and label all sides. They are budget-quality boxes so don't stack them too high when full of paper or books; they will gradually crush down. Overall they are a good value and a preferred storage box with my family.
