Half the size of traditional storage boxes, the [IN]PLACE storage box offers an efficient, organized hanging file system designed specifically for letter-sized paperwork.

The [IN]PLACE storage box collection was designed in response to research with business customers, which identified unmet needs that led to easy-glide rails for ease of use and compact size for portability.

This strategic direction aligns with OfficeMax's new company tagline, Work With Us, which encourages the American workforce to work together to create a brighter 2010.
