Power Of The Plastic Storage Box

I have a little tale to tell about those plastic storage boxes that likely fill your garage and your basement storage room. They seem like a simple product, right? I actually think they are quite a genius invention. Lets think about what we used before these giant plastic storage bins became the norm.

Do you remember visiting your grandparents as a child? If you are like me, you scrambled down the stairs to the basement where the fun toys were kept. If you took a look around that basement, you probably would have notice cardboard boxes storing years worth of collectibles. How well do you think those cardboard boxes protected what they stored? My guess is not too well.

For many years, cardboard boxes were the simplest way to store clothes, holiday decorations, and other random items. If any water crept toward the storage, the items inside would not be protected. When moved, these boxes didn’t guarantee much protection. Boxes had convenient gaps for mice and bugs to sneak through. Now, plastic storage boxes are the standard in homes across the country. These plastic powerhouses have not been around forever, but they have definitely become the standard for storage, and for good reason.

You can find plastic storage bins to meet any need. You can use colored boxes to color code your holiday storage, use clear boxes to easily see the contents, or use drawers for easy access. They come in all sizes and shapes. Some are specially designed to store sweaters and slip under your bed. Others have latches, wheels, or compartments inside.

So, we know that plastic storage bins can be used to store almost anything. But what is their best feature? These boxes close tight to keep water, mice, and bugs out. Plastic storage boxes really are a powerful product. You have valuable things in your basement storage- childhood memories, decorations, paperwork, and collector’s items. Aren’t you thankful you have a way to protect your things from bugs, water, and mice?
