Q&A(28)
Q: Do they stack easily?
A: Hi Amanda! The File Boxes are made of polypropylene and are designed for general household storage. Most household storage purposes do not require suggested weight limitations. Our products have not been specifically tested for various weight potential, and we suggest consumers use good judgment and not overload them or stack more than three high. This could cause distortion or eventual damage.

Just a crack down it along the side at the bottom and the plastic side is bowed out some. That was just papers and stuff.

Q: What kind of plastic are these made of? I'm looking for something that's archival safe (for storing church archives).
A: Hi JeanMH! The File Box is made of Polypropylene plastic, and was designed for general household use. It is possible that there may be some residual acids present in the material used to produce this product which can occur during the polymerization process but steps are taken during the production process to eliminate as much of the acid as possible. Unfortunately, there could still be some trace amounts present.
