Medical Records Storage Boxes

The corrugated boxes meet ASTM D5118 and D4727 standards and WRA/MPA water-resistance standards. While the boxes themselves support organized, durable record retention, facilities should verify their specific HIPAA and state-mandated record-keeping policies. Certification and compliance documentation is available upon request for procurement records.

Available closure types include Auto-Lock Bottom, Interlocking Flap, String & Button, and Standard Lid styles. For frequently accessed medical records, STOR/DRAWER STEEL PLUS drawer-style boxes provide easy retrieval. String & Button closures are popular for secure long-term archival storage in healthcare settings.

Yes. File storage boxes are available in multiple colors including Kraft (Brown), White, Wood Grain, Black, Green, Blue, and Red. Color-coding allows healthcare facilities to organize records by department, year, patient type, or record category, improving retrieval speed and reducing misfiling errors in busy medical records rooms.

Single wall corrugated construction is standard for file storage boxes and is suitable for most medical record applications. For heavy binders or dense archival loads, double or triple wall corrugated boxes provide additional stacking strength and structural integrity, helping protect records on high-density shelving or during facility relocations.

Yes. Custom printed and promotional cartons are available from Cardboard Boxes 4 U. Custom printing allows healthcare organizations to add facility names, record categories, barcodes, or handling instructions directly on the box. This streamlines identification, supports chain-of-custody documentation, and improves overall records management efficiency.

Stack height depends on wall construction and ECT or Mullen burst rating of the selected box. Single wall boxes with 32 ECT ratings are suitable for standard archival stacking. For long-term high-stack storage, choose double wall or ECT-rated options. Always follow shelving manufacturer guidelines and avoid exceeding the box's rated compression load.
