Square storage tub with press-fit lid — frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of this square storage tub and what does it hold?
The tub measures approximately 93 x 93 x 70mm externally and approximately 70 x 70 x 65mm internally at the base. The sides are drafted — meaning the base is marginally smaller than the open top — which is standard for injection moulded products of this type. The square format and generous depth make it well suited to beads, buttons, sequins, small craft tools, pins, needles, and other small items that need to be contained and covered between uses.
What is this tub best used for?
The square format, generous depth, and snug press-fit lid make this tub well suited to classroom and educational environments for distributing and collecting small craft supplies, art tools, and stationery items. The deeper profile compared to the rectangular tub makes it particularly useful for items that need more depth — small pots of glitter, collections of buttons or beads, or bundles of short pencils and crayons. Also works well in craft rooms, sewing spaces, and workshops.
How secure is the press-fit lid?
The flat lid presses over a continuous lip running all the way around the top of the base, creating a snug, even fit similar to a food storage container. It will not open accidentally if the tub is knocked or tipped. It is not airtight or waterproof, but the snug fit is tight enough to keep dust and debris out reliably between uses.
What material is this square storage tub made from?
The tub is made from high-impact polypropylene — a tougher, more impact-resistant grade of plastic than standard PP. It is opaque white, recyclable, and wipes clean easily. The same material is used in our TOUGH box range, which is designed for demanding classroom and workshop environments.
Where is this square storage tub made?
This storage tub is designed, manufactured, and quality-checked at our factory in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey. S.B.Weston Ltd has been manufacturing precision injection moulded products in south west London since 1948 — originally from a factory in Teddington, then on Platts Eyot, a small island in the Thames, before moving to our own factory premises in Sunbury-on-Thames in 2002. When you buy a WestonBoxes product, it is genuinely made in Britain — not just branded here.
