Packaways Reusable Plastic Storage Box Review
I have stuff–a lot of it. I’m very skilled at acquiring things and not letting them go, so I’m always looking for new and interesting ways to organize my junk….err, belongings. Today, I’m going to tell you a little about my newest tool for attempting to live a less cluttered life: Packaways!
These classic style Packaways are collapsible, corrugated plastic boxes that are so durable that they can be filled, emptied, and knocked down hundreds of times. Each box has two wipe away marking panels so you can easily identify the contents of the boxes and relabel them as they get reused. They’re light and the built in handles make them easy to carry. And as you can see in the picture, they stack neatly together even when you’re working with multiple sizes.
They are super easy to set up too! You just need to press the opposing corners together and the bottom of the box will automatically fold into place. I had to push down on the bottom to lock the panels together, but in just seconds, my storage box was ready to use. The top panels lock securely together to close, so there’s no messy tape needed! To collapse the box, press down on the bottom and it will fold up for easy storage.
Whether you need to tidy up that garage, store seasonal items, or are planning a move, you can put Packaways to work for you. Their versatility and the convenience make them a must have storage solution. Right now, I’m using mine for toys. My kids have plenty of junk of their own, so rather than letting all of their toys take over our house, I like to rotate through groups of them. I keep some out and put some away, and every so often I switch out the active toys with the ones that have been hibernating. I find this lowers the risk of someone tripping over something and breaking a body part. Packaways are absolutely perfect for this use, and I love that they offer color options so I can use pink for my daughter and blue for my son.
My very favorite thing about this product is that it is made in the USA! Yes, you read the correctly. This is a plastic product that is made in the USA. I know, I didn’t think it could happen either.
Packaways are available in a variety of colors, sizes, and styles, so head over to Packaways.com and find out which ones would work best for you. You can also visit them on Facebook.
How would you use your Packaways?
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Great review!!!! They look easy to assemble and store so I’ll be getting some of these. I even like the green.
I need these ASAP! I love that they collapse like that.
LOVE this product. We actually use some cardboard boxes that are similar that I found at WalMart, but these look so much better and I love the bright, fun colors.

These look awesome!
Ooh these would be good in the basement – cardboard is a risk since we are prone to water issues.. plastic would be better.

I need some of these – I love that if you dont need one it folds up neatly and can be stored in a closet or under a bed!

thanks for doing this review. this was my favorite style box to use for apartment hopping during and after college. the shape and size made them easy to pack, hard to over-pack, and they’re easy to move around because of the built in handles. i’m glad someone finally made them of a durable and reusable material. and multiple sizes too? that’s great.
Oooooh! I love anything that has to do with organization…so it was love at first sight when I saw this post of yours – and the boxes!!! =D
Thanks for dropping by my blog and showing support!
