DrawerBoxes,
stackable cardboard comic book boxes with drawers that create a file cabinet
storage system for organizing your comic book collection, making them
more accessible. The ultimate comic book supply.
NOW
you can store up over 1400 comics in a floor space just two square feet,
or store over 4200 comics in a small closet AND HAVE EVERY COMIC AT YOUR
FINGERTIPS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO LIFTING!
Each
9" X 26" LONG box holds up to 235 and 9" X 18" SHORT
box holds 145 bagged and boarded comics.
Short
enough to fit lengthwise in many closets.
Each
box is designed to support up to five boxes filled with comics on top
of it without collapsing.
They
will even support the other boxes if the bottom drawer is completely removed.
Handles
at either end to make them portable.
Four
dividers included with each box.
Ends
reinforced with 4 layers of cardboard so they withstand pulling, unlike
regular boxes, and handles at either end to make the portable.
Four dividers included with each box that can be used as Upright dividers
when used with our optional BoxSort rails.
CAUTION!
We
have received complaints from some customers about boxes with drawers
that they have purchased that have not been as durable as we advertise.
Upon investigation we have found that the boxes they were using were not
DrawerBoxes, but are actually imitations that were sold to them
as our product.
DO
NOT BE DECEIVED!
Genuine
DrawerBoxes are made to proprietary specifications, including upgraded
materials to provide durability. Genuine DrawerBoxes can be distinguished
from these counterfeits by looking for our trademarked logo on the front.
Genuine DrawerBoxes also bear a boxmaker's certificate on the bottom
of the drawer and the flap on the front of the shell. These seals are
your guarantee of quality.
The
counterfeit ones have blank fronts like our original production run 2
years ago, but also have the thinner mouth around the front edge of the
shell like we use in our later production runs. We understand that they
are also being sold without dividers.
We
regret that since these counterfeits are not our product, we cannot accept
returns when the product fails.

50%
OFF!
Too good to be true? Nope. This is the
real deal!
Our best price ever. Buy one 5-pack of short DrawerBoxes at our
regular price and get another 5-pack of shorts for half price.
We know that even though these hard lean times for
many collectors they still want to get out of their beat up boxes
and convert to DrawerBoxes. Now is your chance.
Order
one 5-pack of shorts at full price and get the second for only $21.88.
Thats only $4.38 per short DrawerBox! Not just a shell like
some companies try to hustle you into. The complete unit including
shell, support sleeve and drawer.
Because our drawers are not just another short box.
They are made with 4 layers of cardboard on the ends to resist wear
from pulling them open. And the outside material is made of heavier
stock to better resist friction wear than a regular box. Plus the
drawers feature our latching tabs so you dont accidentally
dump all your comics on the floor.
At this price youll definitely want to add some BoxSort Upright
Divider rails to keep your comics from falling over and help sort
them. And dont forget some BoxLox Box Anchors to prevent slippage
and keep the top unit from tipping.
Prefer long DrawerBoxes? We have volume rates for those as well.
Order 25 long DrawerBoxes and receive a $1.00 discount on every
unit, a more than 10% savings. Order 50 or more and receive a $2.00
discount on every unit.
Even better, order 40 longs or 45 shorts and you will also qualify
for UPS' discounted shipping rate. We never charge more than we
have to pay for shipping, and any savings UPS provides is passed
on to you as well.
But
hurry, a deal like 50% off cant last forever.
NOW FEATURING
No
top box tipping
Improve
stability for partially full boxes
Even
better long term stacking strength
For some
time we have been working on a major enhancement that we think will take
our DrawerBox concept to the next level. We know that many people have
been doubtful about the usefulness of DrawerBoxes because they believed
that they would tip forward when the drawer was pulled open, making them
awkward to use. While this was never a problem except for the top box,
now even the top box can be pulled open to its fullest extent without
any concern about tipping.
How do we
accomplish this? We are excited to introduce our BoxLox box anchoring
system. This is a unique system of clips that are only available with
DrawerBoxes. The clips attach the sides of the shells to each other, creating
a unified bank in which each DrawerBox stabilizes the other. When a drawer
on the top level is pulled open, it is held in position by the others
without requiring something on top of it to counterbalance it. And when
BoxLox are used on the lower boxes, the clips will provide more stacking
strength by securing the sides of the shells to each other and keeping
the sides of each level centered properly above the sides of the unit
below. This ensures that the support sleeves create a column, transferring
the weight of the stack to the floor.
But we have
not forgotten about the loyal customers that have already purchased DrawerBoxes
in the past. Boxlox require heavier cardboard to work properly and DrawerBoxes
have always been manufactured with heavier weight material to provide
extra strength. Because of this, existing units can be easily modified
to accept the BoxLox and we have templates we can make available upon
request.
We think
these improvements will ensure that DrawerBoxes will remain the best storage
system available for storing your collection. Why would you accept any
substitute?
CAN
I JUST ORDER SHELLS
AND USE MY OWN
LONG OR SHORT BOXES?
Well, yes
we can sell just shells. You can call us to order direct. However, we
do not ordinarily offer that option because our experience has shown that
most customers quickly become dissatisfied with that option.
Keep in mind
that our DrawerBoxes are designed to be an integrated system. They are
a mechanical device, not just a storage box. Like any mechanical device,
to work properly all the parts must fit so they work together. Click HERE
for more information.
Before attempting
to use a regular long or short box as a drawer you should try this simple
test: Fill your current long (or short) box full of comics and set it
on the floor. While holding the handle, pull the box across the floor
the length of the box. Then push it back to its original position. Then
grab the handle again and repeat this procedure approximately 100 times.
This is duplicating the force you are putting on the front of the box
in only one year assuming it is opened twice per week. Most long boxes
will bend and tear as the cardboard breaks down in this simple test.
We
are excited to introduce
our latest feature
BoxSort Upright Dividers
What
is an "Upright" Divider?
You've
probably had the same experience we have had with comics that kept sliding
around and falling over when a long or short box is only partially filled,
sometimes causing bent issues and small cracks in the spines. And you've
probably tried to solve the problem by keeping the box as full as possible.
But then, when you add issues, there is no room for them, which means
you need to move comics from one box to another as your collection grows.
No matter how many regular dividers you use, it's still a lot of work
to keep your collection organized.
BoxSort
Upright Dividers actually hold your comics upright in the box and keep
them from sliding around, no matter how few comics you have in it. And
as the drawer fills, the divider can be adjusted by moving it back,
accommodating any quantity.
But
here's the best part: By using multiple Upright Dividers in a drawer,
you can even create sections for each title and, if you prefer, create
open spaces between titles so you have room to add more issues later.
BoxSort Upright Dividers can help you sort and keep your collection
organized like you have never been able to do before.
We
(modestly, we hope) think BoxSort Upright Dividers are the coolest invention...but
don't take our word for it. Here is what some of our customers have
said about them:
"I
received my order of upright dividers today and couldn't wait to get
them installed. I only ordered one group of 5 to see what I thought
before ordering more. I wasn't disappointed. They are amazing in their
simplicity. The best thing to happen to my collection since, well, DrawerBoxes.
:) I no longer need to stuff the backs of my boxes with foam to keep
the comics upright. Great job. I'm ordering enough for the rest of my
boxes now." - Ben Sweetser
"You
guys have made comic collecting soooooooo much easier, exciting and
amazing. Thank you so much for this invention!" - Miguel Gines,
California
"Thanks
for the rail samples. I love them! I now have a whopping 46 drawers
in my collection and I can't thank you guys enough for this product!
Looking forward to future sales!" - Sam Haine
We
are so excited about this new feature that all drawers now include four
Upright Dividers. All you have to do is order the optional BoxSort rails
to have the BoxSort Upright divider system in any boxes you choose.
*
Already have DrawerBoxes? Not a problem. We have retrofitting kits available
so the BoxSort Upright Dividers can be added to any DrawerBox.*
* Note BoxSort Upright Dividers and rails will only fit in genuine
DrawerBoxes. They are not compatible with typical long or short boxes.
LET
YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
If your visiting this site you are probably a comic magazine
or graphic novel reader or collector. Since we can remember
(and we go back a loooong way in this hobby) very little research
has been done on who we are. And that's unfortunate, because
it means that creators and publishers have to guess about what
you and I would enjoy. And generally guessing means that the
stereotypes are perpetuated.
We know from our own research that our customers are a pretty
interesting, diverse and astute group of people. And now we
have a chance to let others know that. The University of Chicago
is doing a research project to better understand who comic fans
are. One of the things we think is nifty about this project
is it is not being done by just one publisher or in one geographic
area. They have gone online to reach as many fans as possible.
So now is your chance to tell someone who you are what you like.
The survey only takes about 10 minutes and is absolutely painless.
And, what the hey, someone in a position to do so might even
read the results and take you into consideration when the publish
their next project. Here's the link that will give you more
information and help your voice be heard: LINK
