A5 TOUGH slim box — frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the WestonBoxes A5 TOUGH slim box and what does it hold?
The A5 TOUGH slim box measures 224 x 162 x 24mm externally and 216 x 154 x 21mm internally — identical dimensions to the standard WestonBoxes A5 slim box. It holds up to 150 sheets of standard A5 paper flat and protected. The slim depth makes it ideal for greeting card sets, notecards, presentation documents, and A5 print media where a full-depth box is not needed.
What is the difference between the A5 TOUGH slim box and the standard A5 slim box?
The dimensions and design are identical — the difference is the material. The TOUGH slim box is made from a high-impact grade of polypropylene that offers significantly improved resistance to knocks, drops, and heavy handling compared to the standard grade. The TOUGH slim box is opaque white; the standard slim box is available in clear transparent and TOUGH white. Choose the TOUGH slim box for demanding environments; choose the standard slim box where transparency matters.
Is the WestonBoxes A5 TOUGH slim box acid-free?
Yes. The A5 TOUGH slim box is made from acid-free polypropylene, which means it will not react with or damage paper, cards, or printed media stored inside it. Safe for long-term archival storage of documents and presentation materials.
What material is the WestonBoxes A5 TOUGH slim box made from?
The A5 TOUGH slim box is made from high-impact PP5 polypropylene — a chemically inert, recyclable plastic that is acid-free, moisture-resistant, and significantly more robust than standard polypropylene. Opaque white finish. Wipes clean easily.

The A5 TOUGH slim box is designed, manufactured, and quality-checked at our factory in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey.

When you buy a WestonBoxes product, it is genuinely made in Britain — not just branded here.
