The storage box, also known as the antique box, was originally used by archaeological teams to store fragments of excavated and sorted cultural relics. These types of boxes are usually strictly numbered, ranging in size from large to small, but most of them are the size of shoe boxes (unearthed cultural relics are generally heavier, and the size of shoe boxes is most suitable for handling). In modern society, storage boxes have gradually evolved into a type of "miscellaneous box", a box for storing things.

The shape and size of storage boxes also vary, and can be selected according to actual needs. Some storage boxes have a partition design that allows for the classification and storage of different types of items, making it easy to find and manage. In addition, there are some storage boxes with wheels or handles that can be easily moved and transported.
