Most of us have a significant portion of our possessions in some type of storage. Not always long-term storage mind you but in storage nonetheless in closets, basements, garages and the like. Naturally, seasonally used items tend to be stored most often; especially things like winter gloves, hats and coats. If you use cardboard boxes to store these items, especially in a somewhat unprotected environment, you run the risk of incurring damage to them while they're not in use. One popular way to mitigate this risk is to use more durable storage options like plastic storage bins or cabinets.
Plastic storage boxes are often available at quite affordable price levels at department stores, thrift stores and garage or yard sales. Brands like Rubbermaid and Sterilite have become household names based on the popularity of the molded plastic storage products they offer for the home and garage.
If you plan to store clothes in your containers it might be worthwhile to look for transparent containers since they will allow you to identify the contents of the box without opening it and even while it's stacked under numerous other containers. If you need a super durable container you may not be able to find the strength your looking for combined with a see-through plastic material but for light to medium duty it shouldn't be a problem.
If you have a farm or garden plastic storage totes make a great way to store animal feed, garden seeds or fertilizers in an easy-to-carry, relatively rodent proof container. You can even use them as a temporary home or transport carrier for newborn animals that need extra care. You can also use them as water troughs for thirsty animals in the barn and pasture.
Have you thought of how you would be most likely to use some type of plastic containers for storage? Another idea for kitchen use would be to store bulk food items in the smaller storage containers available from makers like Oxo. Again, the clear plastic type containers have a definite advantage in that they give you the ability to organize your kitchen or pantry by storing your food items in uniformly sized containers while also being able to instantly see what each container holds without opening it for inspection.
One of the first places to look if you're an online shopping type is on Amazon since they have a large variety of storage containers and totes. You'll be able to get free shipping on some items and you can also check out the reviews from other people who have had some experience with the products you are considering to see if they have information on the pros and cons of each model.
