Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Way to Display My Love of Art My sister and I have always loved to go to the Container Store, even if we had no intent of buying anything. I was so thrilled to get colored pencils for Christmas, and I immediately wanted to display them in my room. My first thought was the Container Store! So my sister and I looked around and found these inexpensive, yet perfect clear boxes that would fit my coloring utensils in. I ended up buying 12 of them, and I even found the lids to be useful containers too! I was very pleased with my purchase, and it looks great in my room!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Little boxes pack a big punch I love these boxes. I put beads, brads, eyelets and more in them. I can easily see the contents of each and they're the perfect size to store my crafting materials. They fit nicely in the narrow Like-it Bricks, which fit in drawers or can be stacked on shelves.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So many uses! The small clear Amac boxes are great for beads, sewing supplies - buttons, snaps, needles, little decorations and eyelets and so many other things.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love These I had a couple of these in green that I bought about 10 years ago and they looked great in my kitchen. I wanted to update the color and bought 3 of the taller ones in red and love the brightness of the red.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for crafts!!!!! I first found these in the store in Rockville, I knew they would be great little organizers. I built a bank of drawers to keep my supplies and the top four drawers were built to store these Amac containers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from display storage work I purchased various sizes and colors to place small items in so that they were readily accessible to view and show to customers. The items were used in sales calls. The boxes were nice because they were small and stacked together to made organizing much easier and were easy to transport in a compact method.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from These are the best bead storage! I have purchased close to a million of these it seems. They are completely clear to see the colors without a haze and even on the boxes, the lids manage to stay on even when dropped. This matters when you have to pick up 100 very small beads out of your carpet. They are also very sturdy and durable. My only wish is they would be on sale every once in a while.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing for Face Paints I'm a professional Face Painter, but most of my paints are only made in round containers that take up too much space in my kit. I've started to repot my paints into the small, 2in square containers and it's made my life SO much easier! Now I can fit 24 paints into a case that could originally only hold 12! Definitely going to be purchasing more :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is a great product These boxes are used for medicine cases. I put eye drops in them. The eye drop bottles are so tiny, this keeps them from getting lost. I also use them to put RX bottles in. These are so handy, we drove 450 miles to get them. Nothing like that here in the valley area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing! I absolutely love these! I use several of the 2" sq. x 3/4" h size for sorting smaller jewelry pieces (earring backs, body jewelry, necklace chains, etc.) in a larger jewelry box. It's the perfect size for that purpose, and the lids stay on very securely so I never have to worry about tiny pieces falling out. Also, since there are so many colors and sizes to choose from, just about anyone under the sun could find their own unique use for these. I will definitely be buying more!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A beautiful green My kids' art supplies were all over the house. I gathered them and sorted them into Amac boxes by color and now the kids actively enjoy clearing up. I've always loved this bright mid-spectrum green, but it's hard to find, so I love being able to get my pop of color from these boxes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Amac Boxes are a great product for our floral designers at Posh Petals Flower shop. We decorate them for wedding centerpieces and various other events. The shape allows us to create modern looks. The plastic allows us to spray paint and glue different materials to the box. Also, they are inexpensive, which allows us to start over if we make an error. The lid permits us to use the interior and exterior of the box. Posh Petals entered this particular centerpiece in the " Art of the Table" contest last year. The boxes feature live green button mums, black lace, copper pennies, hardware products and spray paint.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for housing invertebrates I purchased a set of the clear boxes to use as visually appealing housing for small spiders. Using a drill I put ventilation holes in the box and the material held up without cracking. The boxes work great for the purpose I am using them for and look nice on a shelf.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Boat Boo Boo Box Purchased the 2-5/16"x 4-3/16" Amac clear box for paperclips. Once I got it home I realized that it would be perfect for band aids. The lid fits tightly and it would keep water out. I put together a small first aid kit for the boat. I have to make more of these! They would be perfect gifts for colleagues! Just days after pinning it on Pinterest, it was repinned.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Memories I remember having these boxes as a kid. I was freaking out when I saw them at the store. I purchased two different sizes (smaller) in four different colors (green, orange, pink and purple - 2 of each so I bought 8). I use these little boxes as 'Tooth Fairy' boxes when the kids lose their teeth. They put the tooth in the little one and then the fairy brings them money in the larger one. They love busting out these boxes!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from More than just storage Saw a Super Bowl party web page from the Container Store. Had been searching for small containers for condiments - these were perfect. Purchased 2 different sizes -ketchup, mayo, mustard in the small size. Guacamole & salsa in the larger -what a great idea -clean, easy presentation and easy clean up! Thanks CS for making entertaining fun!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing little boxes I bought 20 of these to use in a crate that is used for Christmas tree ornaments when you pack them away. We installed the crate on the wall behind my sewing table and put a box in each section. This is how I organize my threads by color.

Community Q&A

Do this boxes have lids?

Are they solid cubes with lids or are they open on one side without a cover.
Asked by: htka
Yes they have thin lids at the top of the box (or bottom if you wanted to invert them). The box tops fit snugly enough, but i would not recommend placing the boxes on their lid as the lid would not stay in place if the box was picked up or knocked off.
Answered by: JKing
Date published: 2017-03-02

the lids seem to have a hole or something from the photo, is this true or is it just a plain sheet

Asked by: hannahwt
No there is not a hole at the top of the box. It is a small dimple in the center of the lid, which I am assuming is left over from whatever machine poured the plastic to make this box. It is a small indentation and not very noticeable

I can't see them clearly. are they stacking like lego? And are they durable/

Asked by: estu
No you cannot stack them like legos because the top of one box does not connect to the bottom of another. Each side of the box is flush without a ridge in which to "click" onto another side of an opposing box. If you were to stack them on top of one another they would easily slide right off (due to the slickness of the plastic) I use a bit on museum tack when using mine, as not to have them slide about on my shelf. They are fairly durable. I've had mine hold heavy objects and survive a tumble off my bookshelf. They probably would crack if thrown or stepped on.

Is it safe to store food?

I am wondering if the container is food safe for dry fruit, gummy bear, sugar, etc? Is the lid air tight, close to air tight, or loose?
Asked by: AmyBo
They have containers that are "food grade" that I recommend instead of these. Some plastics are bad to keep food in because they might contain hazardous and carcinogenic compounds. Type 10064940 in the search bar for food safe storage containers. That's what I bought!

Could I put a lit tea light in a voitve holder inside the largest amac box? I would put sand in the bottom of the amac box and then the candle holder

I'm trying to find the model 102c of the clear amac boxes

Several reviewers have said they printed out cards against humanity as I am trying to do. However I am unsure which box they purchased they simply said "Tall and skinny." Any help would be appreciated.
Asked by: Kassie
You are in search of the 2-5/16" square by 6-3/16" high Amac Box.
