Plastic. $6.30.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe size is chosen, not arbitrary.\u003c\/strong\u003e It holds a set of Street Paint Markers, Poscas, crayons or pens lying flat, and it is shallow enough to slide into a desk or stack on a shelf. Deeper boxes waste the space above whatever is in them; this one does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt $6.30 it is per-student money.\u003c\/strong\u003e That is the real argument. One shared tub of markers means a queue, lost lids and an argument about who had the gold. Thirty small boxes means each student manages their own kit, and you find out immediately who is looking after it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt works just as well for the small things that get lost\u003c\/strong\u003e - beads, buttons, sequins, embellishments, findings. Those are the items that end up loose in the bottom of a drawer and get thrown out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA closed box keeps dust off.\u003c\/strong\u003e Markers stored open dry out; beads collect grit. Both problems are solved by a lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight enough to be carried\u003c\/strong\u003e between an art room, a home and a bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree things Zart does not tell us - and one of them is funny\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheir own copy says \"Stackable design (if applicable)\".\u003c\/strong\u003e That is a supplier who has not checked whether their box stacks. It is a fair question and we have asked it, because stacking is most of the reason to buy small boxes in quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe colour is not stated\u003c\/strong\u003e, and nor is whether the lid clips shut or just sits on. A lid that only sits on is not much use in a bag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53793574781291,"sku":"EVTQZ786","price":6.3,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/2795\/8891\/files\/TQZ786.jpg?v=1788379676","url":"https:\/\/megaofficesupplies.com.au\/products\/zart-compact-storage-box-16-x-11-5-x-5-5cm-plastic-for-markers-and-small-craft","provider":"Mega Office Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
