Storage Boxes

Plastic Storage Boxes, Containers & Bins

From a 3L desk tub to an 84L crate, the right box keeps clutter in check and stacks neatly out of the way. Here's how to choose by size, lid and brand.

Which Litre Size?

Storage boxes are sized by litre capacity — match it to the job:

• 3–10L: stationery, spare parts, craft bits and desk clutter.
• 18–35L: the everyday workhorses — A4 paperwork, books, kitchen and household overflow.
• 42–84L: bulky items, seasonal stock, loft and garage storage.

Long, low designs (up to around 120cm) also slide neatly under beds and shelving.

Storage Boxes with Lids

Lidded boxes keep dust and damp out and lock the stack in place. Not every box comes with one, so check the listing — or filter to storage boxes with lids if a secure, stackable lid is essential.

Clear, Coloured & Large

Clear plastic boxes let you identify contents without opening every one — a real time-saver in busy stockrooms. Coloured tubs help with colour-coding, while large crates handle the bulky, heavier loads.

Brands & Value

Really Useful Box is the go-to for airtight, stackable boxes in over 15 sizes. For a budget-friendly Really Useful Box alternative, Whitefurze Stack&Store boxes do the same job for less, while Leitz covers filing and desktop storage. Buying for a whole office? Multipacks lower the cost per box.

Did you know?

Boxes from the same range are designed to stack together — sticking to one brand and footprint (like Really Useful Box) means your storage stacks securely and reconfigures easily as needs change.

Questions & Answers

Do your storage boxes come with lids?

Some do and some don't — many Really Useful Box products include a clip-on lid, while certain ranges are sold without. Check the individual listing, or use the "with lids" filter to see only lidded boxes.

What's a good alternative to Really Useful Box?

Whitefurze Stack&Store boxes are a popular budget-friendly alternative — stackable, clear and hard-wearing, at a lower price per box. We stock both so you can compare on size and cost.

What sizes of storage box do you sell?

Our range runs from compact 3L tubs up to 84L crates, plus long under-bed designs. Choose smaller boxes for parts and paperwork, larger crates for bulky or seasonal storage.

Is it cheaper to buy storage boxes in bulk?

Yes — multipacks and value packs have a lower cost per box than buying singly, making them the economical choice for kitting out an office, garage or stockroom.
