Product Q & A:

Are the product dimensions as provided on the product detail pages "inside" or "outside" dimensions?

They are "inside" dimensions for cargo products; and outside dimensions for all other products.

What are the outside dimensions of each product?

Add 1/2 inch to each inside dimension for boxes with lids and add 1/4 inch to each inside dimension for all other products.

What factors may affect product color or appearance?

The color on your computer screen may differ slightly in shade from the actual color of the item due to the specifications of your color monitor. 

According to Pantone, one of the leading authorities on color, "even the most advanced monitors require adjustments for different lighting conditions and environments to maximize their performance."

Please also note that cargo® brand products are made of a fiberboard which is a 100% recycled post consumer material. 

Slight color variations are a special characteristic of this material. It is also possible to see unique "flecks" and fibers in the board, proof that it is a genuine recycled product.

Is the fiberboard used in cargo® products acid-free?

Yes, it is considered acid free because the board is neutral as a result of a buffering process which renders the pH value in the range of 7.3 to 7.6 (a pH value between 6 and 8 is neutral). 

A substance that is "acidic" has a pH of 6 or less and "basic" with a pH over 8.

Is the fiberboard used in cargo® products environmentally friendly?

Yes, it is an ecological product made of 100% post consumer recycled material; and the cargo® products themselves are recyclable. 

In addition, our manufacturing is based on ISO 14001 which follows international environmental standards for producing such product based on environmental goals.
