|---|---|---|---|
| Friction fit | Low | High | $ |
| Snap clips (2) | Medium | Medium | $$ |
| Snap clips (4) | High | Medium | $$ |
| Latches | Very high | Lower | $$$ |
Clear PP Compatibility
Transparent storage boxes are increasingly popular:
Clear Material Considerations
- Material: Random copolymer PP (clarified)
- Wall thickness: +0.2mm vs. opaque (strength compensation)
- Mould surface: SPI A-1 polish required
- Processing: Higher melt temp, slower fill
Wheel Integration Design
Large storage boxes benefit from wheels:
Wheel System Specifications
- Wheel diameter: 50mm (standard) / 75mm (heavy-duty)
- Mounting: Snap-fit base plates
- Load rating: 25kg per wheel
- Swivel: Front pair, fixed rear pair
Stackable Design Engineering
Loaded boxes must stack safely:
- Interlock depth: 8mm
- Interlock clearance: 2mm per side
- Maximum stack: 5 boxes loaded (150kg per stack)
- Lateral resistance: 10° off-center still stable
Handle Integration
Large boxes need robust handles:
- Handle cavity: 80mm width x 35mm height
- Reinforcement ribs: 3 per handle
- Comfortable grip radius: 15mm
- Load rating: 40kg per handle pair

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Storage Box Mould
Can the box be produced in transparent material?
Yes, we optimize moulds for clarified PP production. Transparent boxes require SPI A-1 polish and slightly different processing parameters. We provide material recommendations for best clarity.
How does the lid ensure a secure fit?
Our 4-corner snap clip design provides positive locking with tactile and audible feedback. Clips are designed for 10,000+ open/close cycles. Optional gasket groove available for dustproof/waterproof applications.
Are the wheels included in the box mould?
Wheels are produced in a separate accessory mould. The box mould includes wheel mounting receptacles as standard. We offer the wheel set mould as an optional add-on.
What is the stacking capacity when boxes are full?
With full 25kg loads, boxes can be stacked 5-high safely (125kg on bottom box). Empty boxes nest at approximately 3:1 ratio for efficient return logistics.
Can dividers be added for organization?
Yes, we offer optional divider insert moulds. Standard configuration is 2x2 (4 compartments). Custom divider layouts can be developed for specific applications.
What colors work best for retail?
Based on retail data: transparent (28% of sales), white (22%), grey (18%), and pastels (15%) are most popular. The mould accommodates all colors equally. We recommend UV stabilizer for lighter colors.
