8x8 storage box — frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the WestonBoxes 8x8 box and what does it hold?
The 8x8 storage box measures 220 x 220 x 24mm externally and 216 x 216 x 21mm internally. It is sized to hold standard 8x8" scrapbook paper and card pads, holding up to 150 sheets of standard 80gsm paper. It will also hold any paper or card smaller than 8x8".
What else can I store in the 8x8 box?
The 8x8 box works for any flat paper, card, or printed material that fits within 216 x 216mm and is no taller than 21mm. Popular uses include scrapbook paper collections, square photographs, photo mats, die cut sheets, mini album pages, journaling inserts, and mixed media backgrounds. It is a natural companion to the 12x12 box for crafters who work across multiple paper sizes — and a useful size for "paper busting" projects where a single 8x8 sheet is cut up to make multiple cards with no waste.
Is the WestonBoxes 8x8 box acid-free?
Yes. The 8x8 box is made from acid-free polypropylene, which means it will not react with or damage paper, card, or printed media stored inside it. Safe for long-term archival storage of scrapbook papers and handmade work.
What material is the WestonBoxes 8x8 box made from?
The 8x8 box is made from clear PP5 polypropylene — a chemically inert, recyclable plastic that is acid-free, moisture-resistant, and durable. The clear construction allows instant visual identification of contents without opening the box.
Where is the WestonBoxes 8x8 box made?
The 8x8 storage box is designed, manufactured, and quality-checked at our factory in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey. S.B.Weston Ltd has been manufacturing precision injection moulded products in south west London since 1948 — originally from a factory in Teddington, then on Platts Eyot, a small island in the Thames, before moving to our own factory premises in Sunbury-on-Thames in 2002. When you buy a WestonBoxes product, it is genuinely made in Britain — not just branded here.
