A blank is provided for the construction of a file storage box, the blank being formed from a single sheet of material, and having first and second substantially identical rectangular panels (1, 10) joined together by a third rectangular panel (8) at respective first and second fold lines (9, 11). Fourth and fifth substantially identical rectangular panels (2, 3) are joined to the first panel (1) at opposite sides thereof by third and fourth fold lines (4, 5) at right-angles to the first fold line (9). Sixth and seventh substantially identical rectangular panels (12, 13) are joined to the second panel (10) at opposite sides thereof by fifth and sixth fold lines (14, 15) at right-angles to the second fold line (11). The fourth and fifth panels (2, 3) are each provided with at least one tongue (6) joined thereto on that edge opposite to the respective third or fourth fold line (4, 5), and the sixth and seventh panels (12, 13) are each provided with at least one pre-cut (16) formed in the region of the respective fifth or sixth fold line (14, 15). The blank is foldable about the fold lines to form a file storage box of which the sides are constituted by the first and second panels (1, 10), the base is constituted by the third panel (8), the front is constituted by the fourth and sixth panels (2, 12) and the rear is constituted by the fifth and seventh panels (3, 13). The tongues (6) and the pre-cuts (16) are sized and positioned so that the tongues slot into the pre-cuts to lock the box together in the assembled configuration.
