Really Useful Boxes was a concept developed in 1999, by our friend Mike, an accountant at a plastics company, who wanted a transparent, strong, stacking storage box to store his archive records.

After intensive searches proved useless, he decided if you want a job doing well you should do it yourself…and he launched the first Really Useful Box.

Evolving over the years into archival storage for CDs, VHS tapes, DVDs and LPs etc they now claim to have the World’s largest range of storage boxes for almost any use and at one time, our little shop was the only store in the world to stock every single size of Really Useful Boxes.

Established in 1999, it seemed to be the first time that a plastic storage box was created from a user’s viewpoint. Most people who see the product are impressed by both its simplicity and ability to live up to its name of Really Useful Box. Robust, stackable and well-made, we've stocked them since the start.
