IRIS USA 12-Gal Heavy Duty Storage Totes 4-Pack — Black, Stackable Lockable Plastic Bins

IRIS USA 4-pack 12-gallon heavy-duty storage totes are durable, stackable, lockable plastic bins designed to protect and organize belongings in home, garage, or office settings. These black storage totes come as a set of four and are built to simplify organization while protecting contents from dust, light, and moisture. Each bin features a snap-on lid with a grooved surface that stacks securely and nests when empty to save space. Molded slots on the lids accept zip ties, bungee cords, or padlocks for added security, and the resin is manufactured without BPA, acids, or phthalates. Proudly made in the USA, these totes are sized to balance capacity and maneuverability for a wide variety of storage needs.

How does the lid keep items secure during storage and transit?

The snap-on lid forms a tight seal that helps keep out dust and moisture while holding the stack together when piled. Grooves on the lid fit into the base of another tote for stable, wobble-resistant stacking. Molded slots allow you to add a padlock, zip tie, or cord when extra security is needed.

• Snap-on design locks into place for a snug fit
• Indented, grooved lid prevents shifting when stacked
• Molded slots accept locks, zip ties, or bungee cords
• Protects against dust, light, and incidental moisture
