With time, most of us get more and more stuff that we do not want to get rid of. Maybe it is a memory, or simply because we hope, there is still a chance to use it again sometime in the future. However, let us face it: most of the clothes, magazines, or any other stuff that we do not use regularly, simply stay in the back of our drawers and we mostly forget about even having them. This is why the transparent plastic box are a great way to keep stuff organized and make them easier to find if necessary.

So why use plastic boxes for storage and not cardboard boxes? Well, here are some of the reasons:

Stackable - Many are stackable, maximising storage space without the risk of those on top crushing the boxes at the bottom.

Water proof - Being plastic, they're water resistant and some are 100% water proof. Great if you need to ensure your stored items stay dry.

Versatile - Many boxes are now being designed for specific storage purposes. For example, some boxes come with built in rails to store office suspension files. Others have front openings allowing you to access boxes stacked on top of one another without the need to remove the boxes on top.

Scalability - They really do come in all shapes and sizes from 0.07 litre for storing such things as stamps to boxes of 145 litre for storing the contents of an entire wardrobe.

Colours - Cardboard is usually brown whereas plastic storage boxes come in all sorts of colours and hues, from transparent red to bright aqua to cool grey to clear. Great if you want to colour code your storage, or, see the contents of the boxes without having to open them.

From the many ways to keep your stuff, using plastic storage boxes, is the wisest thing to do. Use it to store food, files and clothes, manicure and makeup sets, or even your children's toys. Either way, the boxes can be very handy when you need a quick and easy way to organize and keep items safe. It is a perfect way to avoid wet conditions, termite's damages and offers the space you needed. Choose a non- transparent plastic box for the privacy of some items, or go for sophisticated floral prints to make them more fun.
