Archive boxes are typically supplied as a separate box and lid but can also be 1 piece. This is because this style of box is designed to be stacked and stored for long periods of time. This type of box can be used to hold a wide range of items, although they are most commonly used for document storage, self-storage and other office uses. Archive boxes are generally manufactured in single-wall cardboard, meaning they are very cost-effective – cheap to make, but incredibly robust when they are assembled. We already have tooling available for a number of common sizes, depending on the requirements of your organisation. Find out more »
