When searching for archive boxes, most people immediately look for the cheapest option. However, the lowest price does not always mean the best choice, especially if you need long-term document storage.
Cheap archive boxes often use materials that deteriorate quickly. Within just a few months, the box may become dented, damp, or even damaged by termites.
That is why it is important to compare both price and quality before making a purchase. To help you make an informed decision, here is an overview of the ideal price range for plastic archive boxes currently available on the market.
Plastic Archive Boxes on the Market
Not all plastic archive boxes are made from the same material. Some are manufactured from HDPE or PVC, while others use polypropylene (PP) board.
The material significantly affects the box’s durability, weight, and lifespan. Thin plastic boxes may be more affordable, but they can crack easily and lose their shape after repeated use. Meanwhile, solid HDPE boxes are stronger but heavier and generally more expensive.
One of the best options for long-term archiving is a PP board archive box.
PP board is a hollow plastic sheet made from polypropylene (PP). It does not absorb water, is resistant to cracking, mold, and termites, and maintains its shape even after prolonged use.
As a result, PP board archive boxes provide superior protection, strength, and durability compared to many other plastic materials. In addition, they remain affordable and offer greater cost efficiency when calculated over their entire service life.
Plastic Archive Box Price Range on the Market
The price of plastic archive boxes varies depending on the material, size, and included features.
Based on current market observations, plastic archive boxes made from HDPE, PVC, or PP boards generally cost around IDR 30,000 per unit. Meanwhile, cardboard archive boxes can be found for approximately IDR 8,000–25,000 per unit.
At first glance, cardboard boxes appear significantly cheaper. However, let’s look at the long-term cost.
A cardboard archive box priced at IDR 15,000 that lasts only four months would cost approximately IDR 45,000 per year per unit.
In contrast, an ALVAboard PP board archive box priced between IDR 30,000 and IDR 40,000 with a lifespan of up to three years costs only around IDR 10,000–13,500 per year. That represents savings of nearly 74% while providing much better document protection.
