The A5 TOUGH box — designed for schools, offices & busy craft rooms

  • Heavy duty construction: The A5 TOUGH box is made from high-impact polypropylene — a significantly more robust grade of the same material used in our standard A5 box. Built for environments where standard polypropylene would be subject to heavier-than-normal handling — classrooms, offices, workshops, and busy craft rooms.
  • Same precise A5 fit: Internal dimensions of 216 x 154 x 55mm hold A5 paper (148 x 210mm) flat and protected — identical to the standard A5 box. The same precise fit, the same clean base and drop-on lid design, just in a significantly more impact-resistant material.
  • Archival safe: Made from acid-free polypropylene — safe for long-term storage of documents, greeting cards, printed media, and paper supplies.
  • Opaque white: The opaque finish means contents are not visible from outside — useful in classroom and office environments where a clean, uniform appearance across multiple boxes is preferred.
  • Made in Britain: Manufactured from recyclable polypropylene at our factory in Sunbury-on-Thames. Available in packs of 5, 10, and 80.

A5 TOUGH box — frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the WestonBoxes A5 TOUGH box and what does it hold?

What is the difference between the A5 TOUGH box and the standard A5 box?
