What to Consider Before Buying Storage Boxes

If you’re looking to purchase storage boxes for your warehouse, storage room or restaurant, you may be looking at a significant investment. Before you buy, take a moment to consider your requirements and future needs to help you find the best deal on storage boxes.

When you make your buying decision, here’s what you should consider getting the most value out of your purchase.

Purchase High-Quality Storage Boxes

It’s easy to be tempted by cheap offers, but storage boxes experience a great strain every day. When you choose a product, make sure it is fit for the contents it is likely to lift. This might mean getting heavy-duty boxes with industry grade material. When buying storage boxes, it is better to make a safe investment than to lose products or having to replace the boxes too soon. 

Our heavy-duty storage boxes and euro containers are made from HD polypropylene and can resist a variety of temperatures.

Evaluate The Storage Purpose and Requirements

There are many different storage boxes available for a variety of purposes. Failing to evaluate your exact requirements could result in you having to purchase another box, run out of space, and/or increase the risk of it breaking.

So when you decide on what storage boxes to get, keep in mind the following questions:

Will You Store Items at High or Low Temperatures?

If you’re looking to store items inside of freezers, within a warm kitchen or in storage units with high-temperature fluctuations, you need to choose storage boxes that will withhold those temperatures. Our boxes can commonly withstand temperatures from -20°C TO +80°C.

Do You Have Limited Space?

If you have limited space in your storage facility, it is all the more important to choose your storage solution carefully. Euro Containers, for example, are easily stackable and can, therefore, preserve space. Many boxes can also come up with interior dividers that allow you to store various items together neatly, like cutlery and cups.

Are You Storing Food Items?

If you’re intending to store food and perishable items, your storage box should be made from food-grade, hygienic material. Perishable foods may also benefit from being stored in ventilated containers to allow for airflow and avoid building moisture. 

Will You Wash Glasses and Cups in the Crates?

You can save a lot of time by combining storage and cleaning crates. Ventilated glass and cup crates can safely store your fragile items with secure, removable dividers and are suitable for conveyor washing.

Enjoy the Most Value with Volume Discounts

If you’re purchasing storage boxes for a whole facility, you can save a lot of money with volume discounts. There are companies that offers a 3% discount on orders exceeding 500£, a 5% discount for orders exceeding £1000, and a 7.5% discount for orders over £2000.

If you’re ordering more than £3000 worth of items, you get a full 10% off.

Make sure to check volume discounts for storage boxes with your chosen provider and calculate ahead for future storage needs.
