Packaways Dorm Boxes Review

Do you have college-bound kids or maybe kids moving out on their own for the first time?  I can remember moving to college for my first time, and there was an overabundance of cardboard boxes.  They were not always very sturdy, never waterproof, and very tricky to store when you were done with them.  Let's be honest.  Cardboard boxes normally get recycled or thrown away when they are no longer needed.  Very few people have room to store empty cardboard boxes or even plastic boxes, for that matter.

Have you ever heard of Packaways?  These are unbelievable reusable plastic storage boxes that I reviewed here.  They easily fold up flat for storage, and they also very easy to put together and use for easily moving items.  When I was married, we averaged moving every two years.  I know about moving, and these boxes would have been ideal!  Not only are they made in the USA, but they are made of corrugated plastic and they have Wipe Away Rewritable Panels!  The beauty of these is that you can write what is in them for one move, and when you need to make a change, you wipe it away and write what the contents are now!  This would have been invaluable to me.  Our plastic boxes have been written on so many times, crossed out, and sometimes you can't even tell what is in the box any more.

So I invite you to check out these fantastic boxes for all your moving needs--whether you have kids in college or not.  I wish that these had been around when I was in college if for no other reason than for storage space.  I never had a place to store empty cardboard boxes, so you can imagine that they got thrown out.  And at the end of the year, when it was time to go home and store my stuff for the summer, you can imagine how I scrambled for cardboard boxes!  They have the perfect size for you, no matter what your needs.

Packaways Reusable Plastic Multi Purpose Storage Box Review

Are you like me?  Do you have more stuff in your house than you have room in your house?  Are you organizationally-challenged?  Are you out of time and space for all of your stuff?  I would venture to say there are a lot of us out there.  I heard once that well over 50 percent of us struggle with organizational issues.  I know I do.  And every time I turn around, we end up with more junk than I know what to do with! We did combine a couple households when I came back home to live four summers ago, and we are still trying to unpack!  And find room for everything.

Enter Packaways reusable plastic storage boxes.  These products are made in the USA (yay!), and they were created to respond to the consumer need for boxes that can be stored flat when not in use.  I don't know about you, but finding places for those empty plastic tubs or cardboard boxes can often be more trouble than they are worth.  You stack the plastic tubs together, and then you have the "fun" job of trying to get them apart from each other.  And cardboard boxes wear out and break down over time.  These storage boxes are made from corrugated plastic, and they even have Wipe Away Rewritable Panels so that you can easily identify the contents and then erase and re-label as necessary.  This is absolutely genius!  Whenever I write on the plastic tubs what the contents are, it is a pain to cross it out and try to write for the fifth time what is now in the box.  I have mislabelled things right now as I speak!

I thought I had taken a picture of them when they were not put together, but I am sorry, I did not.  When they are not put together, they take up almost no room.  They are easy to collapse, and they are honestly easy to put together.  Here are the boxes that I put together:

And here are some close-ups of the boxes and labels:

Now, these boxes are awaiting their next task.  I planned on using them to store my books for review and my items that I am reviewing.  You may not think they are strong, but they are stronger than what they appear to be.  While you wouldn't be able to put something really heavy in them, they are pretty sturdy.
