Archive Boxes Supply

SwiftFiles Solution supplies a comprehensive range of professional archive boxes designed for long-term document preservation. Every box in our catalogue meets archival-grade standards — acid-free, lignin-free, and manufactured from high-density paperboard that maintains structural integrity under stacked storage conditions for decades. Whether you are digitising a legacy archive, storing active files off-site, or preparing for a regulatory compliance audit, choosing the right box is the first and most important decision for protecting your records.

We serve organisations of all sizes — from small businesses needing a single batch of standard record boxes to multinational enterprises requiring bulk supply agreements with custom branding, barcoding, and just-in-time delivery across multiple storage locations. Our team advises on box chemistry, dimensions, handle and lid configurations, and labelling systems to ensure every box matches the specific requirements of your documents, storage environment, and retrieval workflows.

Our product range covers every common archive box configuration. Standard record storage boxes (letter/A4 size) are available in regular and deep profiles, optimised for space efficiency on standard shelving. Hanging file boxes accommodate Pendaflex-style frames for active records requiring frequent retrieval, with reinforced rails and rigid sidewalls that prevent sagging. Flat storage boxes protect oversized documents — architectural drawings, maps, and posters — with wide, shallow compartments and drop-front or lift-off lids. For non-standard items, we offer custom box manufacturing where every dimension, board thickness, and handle placement is tailored to your exact requirements.

All boxes are constructed from high-density paperboard with a target pH between 7.5 and 9.5 and lignin-free certification. Board thickness options range from 24-point to 60-point, with double- and triple-wall corrugated options for heavy-duty applications. Moisture-resistant barriers are available for archives in humid or uncontrolled environments. Handle configurations include die-cut, metal-reinforced, and plastic edge-guard options, and lid styles include lift-off, hinged with Velcro or snap closures, and telescoping designs for tighter seals.

Every archive box is only as useful as the system that tracks it. We supply pre-barcoded boxes with high-adhesion, fade-resistant labels (Code 128, Code 39, QR, or Data Matrix) placed in consistent positions for efficient scanning. For larger-scale archives, RFID-tagged boxes enable wireless inventory of an entire shelving bay in seconds, with passive UHF or HF tags that last over 50 years. We also provide label templates, placement guides, and printing services to ensure consistency across your entire archive. Inventory management system integration links each box to its digital record — contents summary, storage location, access history, and retention schedule — giving you complete visibility into every box in your collection.
