Packaways Storage Box Review

If your house is anything like mine, you have limited storage space. I do not have any extra space to store unused boxes but I always need a box to ship items, store items, or send my adult kids home with items.

Folded Flat

Packaways are reusable plastic multipurpose storage boxes. When I received my classic PackAways I was a little concerned, They came in a thin flat box and I was nervous they would not hold up to my wear and tear. Once I opened the shipping box, I was glad to see they were better than I thought. They came in bright colors (Green and Pink) and were extremely easy to set up.

Opened Up and Ready to Pack

I had to put these to a true test. I have a million things to box up since my daughter moved out. Needless to say, I had plenty of items that I could shove in them. Once I had the boxes open and ready to pack, I started to fill them. I found that they were stronger than I expected and they are a great size. I managed to pack two dresser drawers worth of clothes into one box and still had a little room left. I did not try to pack heavy items such as books or dishes in these. I was not sure that the box would truly hold together with 40 pounds of books packed in it.

One feature of PackAways that I really fell in love with is the built in label. There is a small white label on the side of each box that you can write the contents of the box on. The label is like a mini dry erase board. As long as you use a specified (China Dry Erase) marker, you can just wipe it off and write the new contents on the label.

Overall PackAways Classic storage boxes are easy to setup, easy to label, and even easier to fold flat and tuck under the bed or in the back of a closet.
