Archive boxes that stack, carry and stay organized

Records boxes are lifted, stacked and searched for years, so they need to be strong, consistent and clearly labeled. Custom archive boxes are made to your exact document, folder or photo sizes, so files stand upright without slumping and lids close flat for even stacking. Built-in hand holes make heavy boxes easier to carry, and printed label panels make each box easy to find.

Corrugated board in B-flute or E-flute is the usual material, with double-wall options for heavier records. Lift-off lid file boxes suit general office storage, flip-top boxes suit frequently opened files, and drop-front boxes let you reach items without unstacking. Slim flat boxes suit photographs, prints and maps. Custom archival storage boxes for photos and heritage items often use special board grades; ask a specialist which materials suit your collection.

Design is mostly about clarity. Print a large label panel on the end and side, your logo or department name, and a consistent color code by year, client or department. A printed grid for dates and contents saves handwriting. Branded archive boxes also suit retail, for example as keepsake boxes for photographers and memory boxes for events. Kraft boxes with one-color print keep the look simple and consistent across hundreds of boxes.

FAQ

Custom Archive Boxes: questions answered

Still unsure? Ask a packaging specialist.

What are archive boxes made of?

Most archive boxes are corrugated board, usually B-flute or E-flute, with double-wall corrugated for heavier loads. Some heritage and photo collections use special archival board grades. Ask a specialist which material suits the items you store.

Can I get archive boxes in a custom size?

Yes. Vorex makes archive boxes to your exact folder, document or photo sizes, so files stand upright and boxes stack evenly. Share the item dimensions and how full each box should be. Lids are sized for an even, flat stack.

Are custom archival storage boxes suitable for photos?

Slim flat boxes work well for photos and prints. Long-term preservation can need specific board grades, so ask the specialist which options suit your collection and share how long items will be stored. The specialist can then quote suitable builds.

Can archive boxes be printed with labels?

Yes. Label panels with grids for dates, contents and reference numbers can be printed on the ends and sides, along with your logo or department name and color codes. A digital proof shows the full label layout before production.

How do I order archive boxes wholesale?

Send your box style, dimensions, quantity and printing needs through the quote form. A Vorex specialist replies with pricing for archive boxes wholesale, and a digital proof follows before production. Boxes ship flat to save storage space until you need them.
