Product Information
Full details
The 5 Star Card Index Box is an ideal organizational solution for students, researchers, and office professionals looking to manage records, study notes, or flash cards by subject or alphabetical order. Built from durable, high-quality plastic, this storage holder ensures your documents remain protected from everyday wear and tear while maintaining a clean, accessible workspace. While the crystal finish provides excellent visibility, the box is designed specifically for 5x3 inch cards, meaning it lacks the versatility to store larger document formats.

FAQs
Can this box fit standard A6 cards?
No, this box is strictly designed for 5x3 inch cards. A6 cards will be too large to fit.
Does it come with dividers?
No, the 5 Star Card Index Box does not include internal dividers, though it is compatible with third-party index card separators.
Is the material recyclable?
The box is made from durable plastic; please check with your local recycling facility regarding the specific plastic resin code printed on the bottom of the unit.
How many cards can it hold?
Capacity varies based on the thickness of the paper used, but it generally holds a standard pack of 100-150 index cards.
Is the box stackable?
While it features a flat lid, it is not specifically designed with locking grooves for stacking, so use caution when piling multiple units.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not snap shut securely
Check the hinge area for debris or misalignment and ensure the cards inside are not overfilled beyond the box capacity.
Cards are sticking to the plastic
Ensure the plastic is completely dry after cleaning; static electricity can sometimes cause light paper to cling to the container walls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place your 5x3 inch cards into the box. There is no assembly required for the main unit. For compatibility, ensure your index cards measure exactly 5 by 3 inches for the best fit. To care for the box, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the surface becomes sticky or dirty, use a mild soap and water solution, ensuring the box is completely dry before re-inserting your paper cards to prevent moisture damage to your documents.
