The IRIS 13-Quart storage box is a specialized solution for organizing smaller items like craft supplies, shoes, or light tools. Made from high-grade polypropylene, the chassis includes reinforced corners to prevent bowing. The opaque black finish is a practical feature for those needing to protect light-sensitive items, as it provides a total block against UV rays and overhead lighting.
The "Buckle-Up" latches offer a distinct "click-lock" sound, providing helpful feedback that the bin is securely closed. These bins are engineered for a static load of about 15-20 lbs per unit when stacked. The lids are indexed to fit into the base of the bin above it, which helps prevent the stack from shifting if it is bumped or moved.
- 100% light-blocking finish for sensitive collectibles or photos.
- Buckle latches provide more secure closure than standard friction-fit lids.
- Compact size fits well on most standard bookshelves and in small closets.
Because the plastic is not UV-stabilized, these bins should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent the material from becoming brittle over time.
For a similar size with a different latching style, the CX Craftsman 5-Gallon bin offers a larger footprint for garage use.
