Custom archive boxes are sturdy storage containers sized for documents, files, and records, with a removable or hinged lid and often die-cut hand holes for lifting full loads. Built from strong corrugated, they stack on shelving without collapsing and protect contents from dust and light. Print labels, retention dates, or department branding directly on the board for organized records management. Made in Cheshire, Connecticut, archive boxes start at 100 units with no setup or die charges, ship flat, and qualify for free shipping across the contiguous US.

About Custom Archive Boxes
Built to protect records for the long haul
An archive box has to do two things a normal box does not: carry a heavy paper load on a shelf for years, and protect what is inside from dust and damage. That means strong corrugated, an edge-crush rating matched to a full load, and lids and hand holes that survive repeated handling. We build archive boxes in the USA, from 100 units with no setup, plate, or die charges, so offices, studios, and small archives can order durable, labeled storage without a large minimum.
Strength, lids & handling
- B/C-flute or double-wall corrugated with an edge-crush rating spec'd to a full paper load, so boxes stack safely.
- Reinforced die-cut hand holes for easy lifting, plus lift-off or hinged lids to keep dust out.
- For long-term document and photo storage, acid-free, lignin-free board options keep contents from yellowing.
Label it clearly
Printed panels and content fields make boxes easy to find on a shelf. For media, see CD & DVD storage boxes; for lighter cartons, see cardboard boxes and shipping boxes.

Materials, print, and finish options
Archive boxes are built on B- or C-flute corrugated, often double-wall, because a full box of paper is heavy and must stack on shelving without crushing. Die-cut hand holes are reinforced for lifting loaded boxes, and a separate lift-off or integrated lid keeps dust out. Kraft liner is the economical default; white-top liner takes printed label fields, retention dates, and department codes. The box ships flat and folds up for storage.
Available finishes include:
- Lamination: Gloss, matte, soft-touch, or velvet finish for a premium hand-feel.
- Foil stamping: Gold, silver, copper, or custom foil colors for high-visibility brand marks.
- Embossing & debossing: Tactile raised or recessed surface effects on logo or key artwork.
- Spot UV: Selective gloss coating that creates contrast against matte areas.
- Eco-friendly options: Recycled kraft, FSC-certified stocks, water-based inks, recyclable rigid constructions.
- Compliance: FDA food-safe inks; certified child-resistant constructions for CBD/cannabis where required.
