Metal storage boxes, display cases and snack boxes
The storage box is as much about display as it is about keeping things tidy: illustrated metal box, storage box for tea, coffee or biscuits, transparent display box, natural cardboard binder, snack box for kids featuring their favourite heroes.
A metal box protects tea and coffee from light.
Which storage box to choose?
The metal storage box, airtight, keeps tea, coffee, biscuits or sugar safe from light and moisture. The illustrated storage box holds photos, papers, or small supplies. The display box showcases its contents. The lunch box, light and colourful, accompanies children to school.
The illustrated metal boxes
Floral patterns, fruits, old tea or beer brands: the illustrated boxes remind us of old-fashioned grocery shops. Lining up on an open shelf, they create a decorative display. Their lids stack, saving space.
The children's lunch boxes
The lunch box protects snacks in the school bag. In the colours of a favourite character, it makes kids want to bring it back home. Choose a model that's easy for little hands to open, and wash it every evening.
Display boxes and folders
The display box, with a transparent side, showcases a small collection, jewellery or memories safe from dust. Folders and boxes made of natural cardboard keep documents and magazines organised on a desk, with a more understated look.
Organise well with boxes
One box for each use: one for tea, one for biscuits, one for batteries and bulbs. Label those whose contents aren't visible. Boxes of the same size lined up give an immediate impression of order.
What brands of storage boxes are available?
Rex London is behind most available boxes: illustrated metal storage and preservation boxes, cake boxes, tea boxes. Fun House offers children’s lunch boxes, Hubsch Interior provides display boxes and folders, while Hachiman, AP Junior and BOTI round out the selection. Find baskets and hooks in the storage, or the coat hooks for the entrance, for a tidy home.
How to maintain a metal box?
Wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it immediately: stagnant water can rust the metal. Avoid the dishwasher, which can damage the illustrations. A box that has held coffee can be deodorised with a bit of baking soda.

Frequently asked questions
Is a metal box airtight?
Preserving boxes with a fitting lid close well, though they aren't completely watertight. For ground coffee, a tight seal keeps the aroma intact.
Can a lunch box go in the dishwasher?
It depends on the model: check the label. Hand washing better preserves the prints.
How to stack boxes without them slipping?
Choose boxes of the same size, from largest to smallest. A flat lid makes stacking easier.
Can a metal box be used as a gift?
Yes, filled with tea, chocolates, or homemade biscuits. The illustrated box then serves as decoration.
How to store small supplies?
In small boxes by category: paperclips, rubber bands, batteries. A labeling system prevents opening each box unnecessarily.
