File Storage Box FAQs
What size file storage box do I need?Most file storage boxes are built for either letter-size (8.5" x 11") or legal-size (8.5" x 14") documents, and a standard box holds roughly 300-500 sheets or 10-15 hanging file folders. Check the internal dimensions listed on each product page, since folder capacity varies by box style. How much weight can a cardboard file box hold?Our heavy-duty corrugated file boxes support 35-50 lbs when properly assembled and stacked. Reinforced corners and double-wall construction prevent collapse under the weight of full paper files. Are cardboard file storage boxes archival safe?Yes — our cardboard file boxes are made from acid-free, FDA-compliant materials suitable for long-term document storage. They protect contents from dust and incidental moisture when kept in a climate-controlled space. What is the difference between an R-KIVE box and an auto-lock file box?An R-KIVE box uses a separate lift-off lid and is built for long-term archival storage and stacking, while an auto-lock box snaps together without tape for fast, high-volume filing. Choose R-KIVE for records you are shelving for years and auto-lock when you need to assemble many boxes quickly. Do file storage boxes come with lids?Lift-off lid styles such as R-KIVE boxes include a separate lid, and auto-lock and string & button boxes close with attached flaps. Drawer-style boxes and magazine files are open-access by design so you can reach active files without removing a cover. Can I buy file storage boxes in bulk?Yes — Prism Pak sells file storage boxes by the case or by the pallet at wholesale pricing, with the lowest per-unit cost at pallet quantities. Offices, schools, law firms, and government agencies order this way for predictable inventory and fast turnaround.
