When storing a wide range of goods, there are many situations and circumstances where it is clearly worthwhile to choose plastic boxes over cardboard boxes. Find out when to reach for practical plastic packaging that can handle moisture, pests and fragile goods more effectively than cardboard under specific conditions.

Are you unable to ensure ideal conditions such as dryness or rodent safety when storing goods? Do you need to store fragile items or raw materials without the risk of damage? Just choose the right plastic boxes.

Don’t let the damp environment win

If storage areas are exposed to high humidity, whether they are unheated/unheated areas (garages, underground rooms, cellars, halls) or areas with high humidity (catering facilities, food processing plants), use plastic boxes. In the fight in the name of moisture insulation, they are the clear winner over cardboard boxes.

You can choose from many types of boxes of different dimensions with regard to specific goods. Whether you reach for stackable euro boxes, transparent universal boxes with lids, shelf trays or plastic boxes with a grid, you’ll have everything you need dry.

Fragile goods safe

Do you store glassware, china, electronics, decorations or other goods that are prone to damage? Boxes made of durable plastic reliably help you ensure their safety and durability.

What’s more, they allow you to make the most of the space without the risk of damage to your stored items, as you can stack them easily and practically without fear of packaging deformation, which can occur with cardboard boxes – especially if the contents are heavier.

Mice and other pests don’t stand a chance

If you need to protect goods (textiles, food raw materials, paper products, electronic components, etc.) from unwanted visitors in the form of rodents or moths, we recommend using plastic boxes with lids. They are much more resistant to insect biting or penetration than cardboard boxes. They also eliminate contamination of both the boxes and the goods by mould and fungi.

Moving

A specific area of storage where you will appreciate all the benefits of plastic storage boxes with and without lids is moving. If you need to store clothes, books, crockery and other household or business equipment on a short-term basis and you are sure of suitable storage conditions (dry, no pests…) traditional, cost-effective moving boxes.

• The advantage of cardboard boxes is their favourable price, low weight and wide range of sizes (from boxes for small electronics to large wardrobe boxes). They are also easy to disassemble and recycle.
• Plastic boxes are particularly useful for long-term storage in less than ideal conditions, protecting fragile and more valuable items. They have a long life, can be easily cleaned and reused for long periods of time. And not only in the context of moving
