I am a genealogist and need sturdy stackable boxes for paper records. Could you stack filled w/paper say 3-4 high?

Yes. It's not designed for paper, but it's certainly high enough (8-Inch h by 12-Inch w by 15-Inch d). I'm not sure if the fabric would protect anything like paper that needs preserving, no idea if it's acid-free or appropriate for archival use. I hope this helps.

No! These boxes are very flimsy! I would never purchase again. The only reason I kept them is because I switched what I use them for: pillows, throws, etc. Only things that are very lightweight. They are made of very thin cloth over pieces of thin cardboard. Spend more for something better!

Yes. I have one that I put binders and file folders in them. Legal size will fit also. Standing them up might be problematic if you only have a few to store as there are no dividers. Although you might be able to make cardboard ones that would do nicely...

It would be a bad idea to send large stacks of documents in plain poly envelopes. At the very least, the corners will get badly bumped/bent and given the weight of stacked paper, there will be the risk of rips and tears. Your clients will not be impressed, to say the least.

Not for books. These are great for files, papers, lose items. If the books fill the box it would be to heavy unless you are loading the boxes already on a hand cart.

Yes you can stack them 4 high, but the higher the stack the more unsteady they become. It would depend on the weight you plan to put on each shelf. if you put heavy items lower down it should work fine.

I just tried to put a small stack in there and it was pretty tight. The paper would end up getting bent. I would not recommend it.

Yes they can, but you would need to adjust shelfs to fit ablums in. You would lose storage space, depending on how you store your records.

I bought the set of 4 and they stack easily 4 high. The total content weight would likely determine max height of a stack. The lids off of the boxes stack also so you can nest the empty boxes and top it with a stack of lids. Nice feature for storage.

I don't know if I'd stack that many atop each other. Maybe up to three, but I don't think I'd be comfortable with 4-5 filled with plates because these get heavy. Rather, I put my teacup box on top of the plate box and then a wine glass one on top of that so that I could maximize my vertical storage but put lighter ware on top.

They can indeed stack, I have them stacked 4 high in my cabinet at this very moment. Nesting is a bit of a strong term though since they don't really sit down one in the other very much. Not like plastic storage ware would. Still, definitely stackable.

I would not recommend stacking them since they are tapered top to bottom. They are very durable and could be used for flat storage.

Just went to the closet to check, seems like you can stack them. Mine are so full though it didn't stack well

I have not tried to do that but my immediate thought is: not if you put too many in the box. It certainly will hold the weight of being full of file folders and paper but I would imagine the weight of vinyl albums etc would only work it were half or less ... full. Hope that makes sense.

I would say no on hanging folders. Especially not stackable if using hanging folders. The crates are not durable enough for hanging folders filled with papers.
1264718
Yes, I used them to hand fabric around the hanging folders and they still stack nicely. These on not for standard file folders but for hanging file folders that you would put standard folders into. You can use legal or letter size hanging folders for these. I purchase two sets and made a cubby cabinet for them. :)

Yes, you can put letter sized manilla folders in this box. It has room enough and to spare for several folders, final quantity depending on how thick your stack of papers happens to be. I consider the box to be too large for that purpose though, because there is room enough for loose contents to slide out of such folders. If your papers are fastened into the folders, then the box might suit your purpose.

I wouldn't advise putting anything that is thicker than, say, 1/4 inch - maybe even 1/8 inch because the sleeves are very lightweight - how should I put it...They are not a thick gauge thT would support mulltiple pages. They are thin, so your multi-page document might slip around a bit. One more thing - I lay my books flat I wouldn't advise standing them up on a bookshelf because the pages, again, don't have the thickness to stand rigid. Hope I'm explaining this correctly.
