Changing over from cardboard
to clear plastic storage containers is a very easy choice because we are able
to identify what was inside of the container before removing it from the long
term storage area in the garage. We have used colored plastic storage in the
past, and they have that long term stability we were looking for, but we were
at a loss as to what was stored inside of the storage container after a couple
of years and a few garage clean ups.
The stackable plastic storage tubs are one of the key
reasons why people have switched from cardboard to plastic. When the parts of
plastic containers are made, they have to have what they term as draw, so they
can get the plastic storage containers out of the mold. One benefit from having
to have draw is; the pieces can be stacked on top of each other and if the
forethought is put into the part, which it normally is, they become stackable
with forms that fit into each other. The plastic storage container that is
stackable remains very solid and rigid when placed on top of each other. Thus,
you can take the best benefits of plastic storage tubs.
