How to choose a storage box 

Keeping things organised and safe is essential for every business, home, and industry. Storage boxes or cartons play a significant role in keeping things in order. Whether for warehousing, e-commerce, or domestic packing needs the correct storage box makes all the difference. To find the most suitable box, ask yourself the following questions: 

• Is it durable?
• Is it suitable for the intended storage conditions?
• Is it lightweight and easy to move?
• Is it strong enough for the items you plan to store inside?
• Will you require tape or labels?
• Will you require protectives and void fills?

Where to buy storage boxes

Storage supply stores

There are speciality shops that specialise in a comprehensive range of storage supplies. These stores often carry a wide range of storage boxes in different sizes and types, however, they may be more expensive than wholesale options. For example, Storage Box is a popular storage supply shop in New Zealand. 

Storage facilities

If you are planning to store items at a storage facility, they may offer boxes and packing products as part of the service. Just ask about your options when booking the storage unit. It is worth noting that prices for these products will likely have a mark-up. 

Home improvement stores

DIY stores like Bunnings Warehouse and Mitre 10 often have a section dedicated to storage and organisation products. They typically offer a selection of storage boxes, bins, and containers suitable for various needs. However, prices are typically more expensive than wholesale suppliers. 

Office supply stores

Office supply stores often stock cartons, storage boxes, and filing solutions, primarily for office environments. These are good options if you are looking for archive boxes or document storage. However, they can be expensive when purchased in bulk.
