Dimensions and Capacity
This medium box measures approximately 32 cm in height, 42 cm in width, and 21 cm in depth, making it compact yet spacious. Despite being lightweight, it boasts an impressive 40 kg internal load capacity. The lid is just as robust, capable of supporting up to 60 kg when stacked with other boxes.
This strength makes it suitable for a wide range of uses without compromising its sleek profile.
Reinforced Build Quality
What makes the LAVATELLI Bauletto Marco Polo stand out is its engineering. The box features:
- Triple-fold cardboard panels for strength and rigidity.
- Metal rivets reinforcing each corner of the lid.
- Smooth handles integrated into the design for practical carrying.

Quick Assembly
Flat-packed for easy delivery, the box can be set up in under a minute. The panels unfold naturally, while the riveted lid secures the structure. No tools, screws, or clips are required. This makes it user-friendly for all ages and ensures it’s as convenient as it is stylish.
Handles for Everyday Practicality
Carrying a storage box should never be awkward. The integrated side handles make the Lavatelli Bauletto Marco Polo easy to lift, even when full. Positioned at the strongest structural points, the handles distribute weight evenly and prevent tearing—something cheaper cardboard alternatives often lack.
