These are terrific. I use them to store my children's craft supplies...markers, crayons, stickers, notecards, pencils, erasers. My children (2.5 and 4.5) can easily get out one container and use it without creating a huge mess. They are also able to pick up their mess and put it away easily with these. I had first bought some similar containers at the local craft store, but they had a different plastic latch (one latch in the center) that was very hard for me to open and impossible for my children to open. These have two latches on the outsides of the front, and they are much simpler to open and close. I LOVE that you can see what is in them. These are also handy for road trips or just outings. If I know I am going to need something to keep the kids occupied while running errands or going to a doctor's appointment, I can (for example) grab two crayon containers and two coloring books. Keeps the kids busy and contains the mess. Win, win.
I also use these for storing my fine point markers, sharpies, small greeting cards, etc.
Our kids have a lot of puzzles, games without boards (like Bananagrams), and math manipulatives. We've found that the original boxes are often too-big, don't stack nicely, and get ratty easily, and those that come in drawstring or zippered storage bags are prone to losing pieces. These boxes, which I think are intended for scrapbooking, are a great solution for storing all of those little pieces in one place - they are attractive, durable, and stackable.
One of these will easily hold the pieces from a a 60 piece Ravensburger puzzle, but will NOT hold all of the pieces from the larger 100+ "XL piece" puzzles. So that you can throw away the original puzzle box, I recommend doing the puzzle and then taking a picture and printing out a 4x6" photo to tape on the inside of the cover of this plastic box. I'm looking for taller boxes with a similar width/depth for storing grownup puzzles.
Just got these in - and I'm planning to order a second set. When my mother downsized,among other things I got all of her photos - 50+ years of marriage - most of it in shoeboxes. These are perfect because I can put either two stacks of 3X5 photos or 1 stack of 5X7 photos. My eldest sister and mom also liked those cameras in the 90s that didn't print standard sizes - these worked for most of those as well (not the panoramas)
9 of these fit into a photo storage box. I'm not sure if more photos fit in the same space - but it's definitely more organized because I can sort them my person, event, theme etc.
I wish I had these when I was working on my parents 50th anniversary memory book etc. It would have better then baggies.
I use for keeping stickers, pens and pencils in. I like the slim height to the box, but can still fit my dry erase pens.
I needed more organization in my sewing area, which was the intent of ordering these storage boxes. As soon as they arrived, I organized my colored gel pens, rubber stamps, and colored chalk pens instead. My items fit nicely. I have them stacked on a shelf with labeling. They are easy to open and close, and stay closed in transport. I am placing more orders with this vendor, as the storage boxes were packaged well and received timely. I recommend this product and the seller.

These worked perfect for scoot cards, intervention pieces, individual/group games, and basically anything else! I used these for my classroom to store all the activities we have been printing! I love these little boxes and the price was great for how many you get. I would definitely recommend these to anyone!
I love this size. Very versatile. I use them in my art room to store various pens, crayons, inks squares, ephemera, etc. etc.. and I travel often, they are very handy to keep things organized and easily accessible. Problem is I can not find this size anymore !! Please Iris bring back the 5×7 !!
I had 5 milk crates full of loose pictures. I really needed a way to store everything a bit more securely. These boxes worked perfectly. They’ve held up amazingly for 3+ years.
Boxes could be used for arts and crafts, jewelry, pins, important small documents (cards, registration, etc.)
Useful for small stuff--can see what's inside it, particularly if it's a color. For comparison, much smaller than an old-fashioned DVD box, plus it is not cleanly rectangular--the corners are somewhat indented, so the useable area inside is smaller. But stacks efficiently for storage, and has snap closures which stay closed.
perfect for storing pre-cut paper for my stamping. The 4x6 boxes were too small. I copic color a lot on the go. I have a few of these labeled with different cardstock. Neenah, Xpressit, etc. I now have it all cut to 4.25x5.5 stored in these containers...just grab and go. I also used a few to hold pre -scored note cards and one to hold journaling cards. Slim enough to fit in my purse. I read the other reviews about being too slick to stack. If you're trying to stack them on top of each other, that is true, however, I stand them on their sides and have no problems with them staying put.
