archive box

Records holding carton

An archive box is a sturdy cardboard container designed for long-term storage of documents, files, or records.

These boxes typically have lids and sometimes handles, and are sized to hold standard folders or papers: We packed the old tax returns into archive boxes for the basement.

Also called a storage box or banker's box.
