storage totes

Stackable lidded boxes

Storage totes are large, sturdy containers—typically plastic bins with lids—used for organizing and storing household items, seasonal decorations, or supplies.

They're stackable, durable, and often have handles for easy transport: We packed the Christmas ornaments into storage totes for the attic.

The word tote emphasizes portability, though most storage totes spend their lives sitting in garages and closets.
