Product Information
Full details
The Really Useful Storage Box (10L) is an ideal solution for students, artists, and office professionals looking to organize A3 paper, embroidery supplies, or delicate documents. Its primary benefit is the durable, transparent construction that keeps contents secure and visible, though the slim 85mm height means it is best suited for flat items rather than bulky household goods.

FAQs
Can I store food in this box?
Yes, the plastic is suitable for holding items like cakes or pastries, though it is not specifically rated for long-term food preservation.
Is this box waterproof?
While the clip-lock lid is secure, the box is not airtight or waterproof; it is designed to protect against dust and debris.
What are the exact internal dimensions?
The internal dimensions are 460 x 298 x 70 mm.
Can I stack multiple 10L boxes on top of each other?
Yes, the boxes are designed to be stackable, provided they are placed on a level surface.
Is the plastic BPA free?
The manufacturer uses durable, food-safe grade plastic for the Really Useful Storage range.
Will A3 paper fit inside?
Yes, the 460mm length is specifically designed to accommodate A3 paper size.
Troubleshooting
Lid will not lock into place
Ensure the contents are not exceeding the internal height of 70mm, as overfilling will prevent the lid from seating correctly.
Handles feel stiff
Check the hinge area for debris or dust; clean the area with a damp cloth and gently cycle the lock a few times to loosen it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Clear visibility of stored items
- Secure locking mechanism prevents accidental openings
- Stackable design saves vertical space
- Perfect dimensions for A3 paper storage
Cons
- Limited vertical clearance at 85mm
- Plastic may crack if dropped on hard surfaces when full
- Not airtight, so not suitable for long-term moisture-sensitive storage
Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the Really Useful Storage Box; it is ready to use straight out of the packaging. To maintain the integrity of the plastic, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals when cleaning. A simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap is sufficient. When stacking multiple units, ensure they are placed on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping. To keep the clip-lock handles functioning properly, avoid forcing them if the container is overfilled beyond its 70mm internal depth.
