Why Plastic Storage Boxes Are the Smart Choice for Every Office
Staying organised at work can feel like a never-ending task, especially when paperwork, office supplies and general clutter start piling up. We’ve all been there, you open a cupboard, only to find it crammed with mismatched containers, open boxes and a chaotic mix of files. That’s where investing in proper storage comes in. At A2B Office Supplies, we offer practical and durable plastic storage boxes that do more than just hold your things; they help bring order to your entire workspace.
Make the Most of Your Space with Stackable Storage Crates
When desk drawers aren’t cutting it, stackable storage crates are your best friend. Whether it’s files, stationery, or IT equipment that needs organising, stackable options allow you to use vertical space, which is so often overlooked. This is especially useful in smaller offices where floor space is limited.
Really Useful Boxes are a leading range we stock, and they’re made to be stackable without warping or splitting. With models like the 64 litre box in clear plastic, the Really Useful 64L Box or the grey recycled stacking box 64L Recycled Grey, you can stack confidently and maintain stability.
Whether you’re reorganising a supply cupboard or creating an archive system, using these crates lets you keep more materials in less space.
Choosing the Right Plastic Storage Boxes for Work
It’s not always about how much you can store, but how you store it. At A2B Office Supplies, we offer a complete range of plastic storage boxes that meet every kind of office need.
Take the 4-litre clear box for example, it’s perfect for pens, tape, USB drives and miscellaneous stationery. Meanwhile, the 24-litre clear option is ideal for A4 papers or catalogues.
For larger equipment or archival filing, try the 84-litre box in black or the clear 84-litre box. These are roomy, strong and secure, offering reliable protection for bulkier contents.
Each box comes with a locking lid to keep contents safe. The built-in handles make them easy to shift around, even when filled.
What Makes Plastic Storage Boxes Ideal for Offices
Here at A2B Office Supplies, one question we often get is: why plastic? Compared to cardboard or fabric storage options, plastic boxes are much more durable and versatile. They’re moisture-resistant, unlike cardboard, which can become soggy and fall apart. This makes plastic boxes a great choice for storing items that need long-term protection.
They’re easy to clean, which is essential in shared office environments. The 18-litre and 19-litre clear boxes are excellent for documents or light tools you need quick access to while keeping them dry and dust-free.
We also stock larger sizes for heavy-duty needs. If you’re storing bulky items, tools, or even marketing display equipment, our extra-large 134 litre base 134-litre base only gives you a strong foundation for your storage setup.
Protect Your Documents with the Right Setup
Organisation isn’t just about throwing everything into boxes. Certain files need easy access and categorisation. This is where our portable suspension filing option can help. These filing crates allow you to organise paperwork in a way that makes it accessible without sacrificing tidiness.
By combining these suspension files with complementary Really Useful Boxes, you get a hybrid solution that pairs long-term storage with daily functionality. You won’t have to worry about rifling through a mountain of paper again.
A Plastic Storage Box for Every Situation
One of the biggest perks of plastic storage boxes is that they can handle just about anything you throw at them.
From cables to seasonal promotional items, our full selection at A2B Office Supplies means you can pick a size and type that matches your workspace. Using the 6-drawer black storage tower is perfect for daily stationery and small items, offering easy access with minimal intrusion on your floor space.
Each plastic storage solution is designed with real user needs in mind, giving sturdy, usable answers for both temporary use and permanent office storage setups.
Real-World Results: Storage That Works for You
We’ve worked with a number of businesses across the UK to assist with office reorganisations. One of our clients, a busy design firm in Manchester, recently replaced their unsightly cardboard storage with an entire set of Really Useful Boxes in various sizes.
They used clear 64-litre and 84-litre boxes for storing presentation boards and product samples, while smaller 4-litre and 19-litre boxes were used for stationery and client records. Their team reported that they not only had more space but were also able to spend less time hunting down materials.
It goes to show that smart planning with the right tools goes a long way. Stackable storage crates are more than just convenient; they keep things where they should be, without wasting space or time.
Plastic Storage Boxes: Visibility and Simplicity Combined
One thing we love about these plastic storage boxes is their transparency. Whether you’re using the 18 litre, 24 litre or even the 64 litre sizes, being able to see what’s inside without opening every lid is so handy. That clear design makes organising your workspace faster and a lot less frustrating.
If you need to reuse boxes for different purposes each month, this flexibility becomes even more useful. You can organise them by department, colour-code the lids or labels, or simply stack them by need; the clear plastic design makes re-organising simple.
