FAQs

What is the capacity of each box?

Each box in the pack has a capacity of 17.5 litres.

Can these boxes be stacked when full?

Yes, they can be stacked when full, but ensure stability by not stacking excessively high and placing heavier items at the bottom.

Are these boxes airtight?

No, these boxes are not airtight. They provide protection from dust and general contamination but are not suitable for storing items that require an airtight seal, like certain foods or sensitive documents.

What material are the boxes made from?

The boxes are made from clear, durable plastic.

How should I clean the boxes?

You can clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching.

Can I buy additional boxes individually?

This product is sold as a pack of 3. Please check the manufacturer's range for other purchasing options.

What is the main advantage of the 'nestable' feature?

The 'nestable' feature allows empty boxes to be stored inside one another, significantly reducing the storage space they occupy when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Lid not clipping securely

Ensure the contents are not obstructing the lid closure. Check for any debris on the rim of the box or the lid. Make sure the lid is properly seated before attempting to fasten the handles.

Boxes do not nest properly

Verify that you are attempting to nest boxes of the exact same model and size. Ensure there are no warped edges or damage preventing them from fitting together.

Plastic appears cloudy or dirty

Clean the boxes with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. For stubborn marks, a baking soda paste can be gently applied and wiped away. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Scratch marks on the surface

Minor scratches are a normal sign of wear for clear plastic. For deeper scratches, there is no easy fix, but they do not typically affect the structural integrity or functionality of the box.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving due to the nesting capability.
  • Contents are easily visible through the clear plastic.
  • Secure closure with clip-lock handles protects items.
  • Versatile for various storage needs (home, office, kitchen).
  • Comes in a practical pack of three.

Cons

  • Plastic may be susceptible to scratches over time.
  • Not airtight, so not suitable for long-term preservation of delicate items.
  • Lid may not be fully secure if overloaded or improperly closed.
  • Clip handles could potentially break with excessive force.
  • Relies on stacking; can be unstable if stacked too high without proper support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boxes require no assembly. Simply unstack them and they are ready for use. Ensure the lids are correctly aligned before attempting to clip the handles.

Compatibility: The boxes are designed to nest efficiently with other boxes of the same model and size. They are suitable for use on shelves, in cupboards, or on floors. They are compatible with dry goods storage and general household or office organization.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
  2. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the plastic.
  3. Ensure the boxes are completely dry before storing sensitive items.
  4. Do not place near direct heat sources, as this may warp the plastic.
