Reusable Plastic Storage Boxes
I recently received two reusable plastic storage boxes from Packaways, which are perfect for storage and moving! We will be moving within the next 1-2 months, which has been a massive headache thus far. There’s a lot going on in our family between a new baby due in January, too! I need to pack all of my sons clothes and toys that he has outgrown, but also decide what will be used once our little girl is born in January and what can be packed in storage. Although this task has been a challenge, I am proud to say that I am beginning to make a dent.. sort of.

The first thing that I noticed and loved about my new Packaways is that they are FLAT and REUSABLE. These are two key qualities that are vital for our household. We are constantly throwing boxes away once they begin to diminish and appear ruined, so the ability to recycle and reuse our new plastic storage boxes is great!
Packaways are available in a variety of bright colors (cyan, magenta, lime green, and natural white). This means that we can color code our storage based on type, holiday, room, or any other specifics that will help us identify what the contents of the box might include.
The color of our boxes are so appealing and noticeable, which really appealed to us much greater than the standard brown moving box, or plain white plastic storage bins that we’ve owned in the past.

I can also label the sides of my Packaways with a dry erase marker! You will find a white square wipe-away panel for labeling your reusable plastic storage bin from Packaways. Since the labeling space requires a dry erase marker, I can easily remove the label name in the future and change if necessary.
All of our other storage boxes feature black permanent marker crossed out as I change the contents inside of the bins, or labels covering labels as I toss out old junk and make room for the new. Packaways dry erase labeling system makes for a much neater appearance that is easier to decipher once inside of our closets.
Assembly was a cinch – and I had my Packaways plastic storage boxes ready for filling within a few seconds. Simply square out your Packaways box by pushing either side away from the other; push down on the bottom of the storage box from within and voila!

Crease over the top four folds to close your plastic storage box after filling. Label the sides with a dry erase marker with the contents found inside as necessaey Also, I can easily return my Packaways into their flattened position by flipping the storage box over and giving a gentle push to the bottom.

Packaways provide plenty of storage space within, but will easily transform into a flat and easy to hide plastic ‘sheet’ when out of commission! The durable and sturdy plastic material will help to protect your valuables against water and humidity. Unlike your brown cardboard moving boxes, Packaways provide a much more durable and long-lasting product.
We also found our Packaways to provide just as much support as our other heavy duty plastic bins, but without the heavy weight. Some of our storage boxes can really pack tight and grow heavily inside, so I hate the idea of having a storage bin that adds on too much weight itself! Packways are lightweight, but also provide the support and security necessary when you are moving them around.

Wow those are great stuffs for office too! Since there can be times that we will be using few storage boxes then we can just keep the others not in use. And oh, I also love the colors! Lime green and magenta color combination are really appealing!
Wow! What a cool idea, reusable boxes. We use boxes so much here for everything from storing outgrown kids cloths, to library books, to toys, etc. I would love to have the option to fold and put away for later use. The card board boxes do not hold up really well and plastic storage totes are not as easy to stash away when not in use. I was also happy with the price, I could definitely afford to give these a try. Thanks for posting as I have not seen these before.
I have so much stuff here! These would be very useful for storage and they would be easy to handle and pull out when needed!
With a husband in the military, we are constantly moving. These would be a God send! And the bright colors would make it a little more exciting than it usually is. Thanks for highlighting these in a post!
What a great idea! I love organizing things) I’d keep some note books I don’t need immediately, toys, lots of stuff…The colors are amazing !
cool! I have NEVER heard of these! lol..I love the bright colors & actually love that they are reusable! (GO GREEN! LOL)
Thanks for telling me about this & for a great review!!:)
What a great idea with the ability to collapse and color code! I can see where this would come in very handy for getting kids to pack and help. Good to know that they are well made and reusable. I know when we moved we were in need of boxes. I got a suggestion to go to my grocery store and ask if I could use theirs. This worked well. The boxes were heavy duty, and they were just getting rid of them anyway.
These would come in handy for so many things and I love the colors and how they fold flat for storing them when they’re empty. I could use them for storing Christmas decorations and out of season clothing
Oh my goodness I want some of these! They would be so great for sorting and storing hand me downs.
Oh boy I wish I would have had these 5 mos ago when we moved and major downsized from a large 4 bedroom two story house to a 495 sq ft apt! We had so much sorting to do and needed to donate a lot of belongings too obviously. I love how these would have helped with organizing due to you could use the colors as codes such as all green boxes for donation or such, and I love how they have labels already on the box to write in. Great review.
