Office Recycling Tips Partner with your office supply vendor for sustainable practices. Most vendors offer a recycling program for printer and copier consumables such as fusers, toners and cartridges. Many office supplies are now manufactured with recycled content. Place recycling stations in convenient and accessible locations around the office and introduce a desk side recycling program. These two items could increase your recyclables and reduce your rubbish by as much as 50%. Create collection bins for the re-use of discarded or unwanted office supplies. Items such as paper clips, binders, pens and mechanical pencils can be used over and over again. Use scrap paper for note pads. Is your office planning an interior renovation? Items such as ceiling tiles and carpeting can now be recycled to make new products. Consider the total recycled content of the replacement carpeting and ceiling tiles, when making your selection.

Poor Quality, Covered in Graphics
These boxes are not nearly as high-quality as others I've ordered off Amazon. I have two main complaints about the product. My first complaint is that the boxes just aren't that sturdy. I can't recall the edge-crush test numbers off the top of my head, but these boxes feel flimsy and seem like they would be easily crushed under minimal weight. My second complaint is that the boxes are covered in print and graphics. Unlike the minimal printing (certification stamp, possibly manufacturer name) found on the bottom of your average shipping box, these boxes are covered in print and graphics on both the TOP and BOTTOM, and are not suitable for professional shipping purposes. Don't be deceived by the product photos on Amazon - the boxes I received have LARGE logos and texts on both the top and bottom sides.I've purchased the following identically sized boxes from Amazon in the past, and they are superior in every way:The Packaging Wholesalers 15 x 12 x 10 Inches Shipping Boxes, 25-Count (BS151210)http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CP35MWQASIN: B00CP35MWQ

One of the Worst Purchases of My Life
I'm a book collector, and recently used these 12 boxes to ship my book collection from San Francisco to Pennsylvania. 2-3 out of 12 of the boxes never made it. Out of the boxes that did make it, most of them were very heavily damaged. Most of the ones that arrived were broken at each of the 4 corners from the top down to the bottom. Almost every box was retaped by the post office that made it. In addition to being broken at the corners, some of them that arrived, arrived smashed. Some boxes made it with stuff missing because these broke in transit. Of the books that made it, some of the books were heavily damaged. All in all, I think I lost more than $1000 by using these boxes for the books. I cannot recommend them for heavy materials. These might be okay for lighter materials. I packed some lighter materials in one of the boxes and it made it ok.

Buy Packing/Shipping Boxes Elsewhere!
These boxes were very expensive for a 12 pack of small boxes 15" X 12" X 10" which I would accept if they were of good quality! First these boxes are very thin and I am concerned with using them for shipping my personal effects that can never be replaced! The actual cut around flaps are off and the sides that are glued are off /not lined making it impossible to have a good squared up box to tape open. And the boxes on each of the 4 corners are breaking/cracking open when I unfolded them to tape open! So I would suggest going to Home Depot and buy their slightly larger and Heavy Duty Small boxes instead and they are cheaper!

Great product and even better customer service!
While the company initially shipped the wrong size, they responded immediately to my exchange request and continued to correspond very timely and politely over the next few hours. Ultimately, they proposed an even better size than the one I'd originally ordered, after explaining how to maximize the volume of the box while still fitting within carrier regs. Then, they immediately shipped the new product out, including a few extra boxes for my inconvenience AND did not require that I send back the originals. You gotta hand it to a company that goes to that length to make the customer happy, no??By the way, the boxes themselves are very high quality. No issue whatsoever and they were shipped to me in very protective padded bubblewrap.

not good for books--boxes broke in transit
These boxes did not stand up when I recently shipped some books from Minneapolis to the San Francisco Bay Area. Very disappointing! They were not packed too heavy--about 12 pounds per box. The boxes broke in transit. When they arrived, they had been taped and strapped by the US Postal Service (kudos!), otherwise they would have completely busted apart. The boxes with clothes and lighter items arrived without a problem. Too bad as they are recycled. I am not sure but the quality of the cardboard (corrugated) my have been the problem. I am really disappointed and would not order these boxes again, at least when moving books.

Pricey but worth it
There is something to be said for having uniform boxes when you're moving. It makes them much easier to stack and move (especially with a handtruck). These are sturdy and can be used numerous times. Who wants to be stuck at the last minute begging from boxes from the grocery store. Sure, they're "free," but look at the time and energy you will spend. These just make so much more sense.

Fun unfolding
These are basic cardboard boxes for storing records, but what I really like about them is that the bottom portion, the box, unfolds from flat to a popped up box with a smooth motion and no folding or putting of tab A into slot B, so it's rather fun. The tops do require a certain amount of folding and fitting, but they did go together smoothly. Seems like some thought went into making these pleasant to use.

Sturdy
We purchased these boxe ago. We packed our house and stacked them on top of one another before our move date.The boxes are very sturdy. We had no issues.The price was a lot more economical than purchasing the boxes at a local shipping store.
