Dear Abby,
Do we need to use the Office Depot boxes to send our records to the Records Center, or can we leave them in our boxes?
–Boxing Betty
Dear Boxing Betty,
Great question! We do require agencies to send records in new or unused Office Depot boxes (Office Depot item #285052). These boxes have been designed to specific Records Center standards, with a maximum box weight of 35 lbs, an edge crush test weight of 550 lbs, and pre-printed areas for agencies to label in order to maintain consistency in box identification and data entry. Other boxes do not meet these requirements. For instructions on how to order boxes from Office Depot, see our website. If you have any questions, please contact your RIM specialist.
Hope this helps!
Abby
