Education programmes use this box to pack a complete kit at the dispatch point, lock it, and move it by truck or boat to a school or learning centre, where the same box becomes the kit’s storage cupboard. Because it is waterproof and dustproof, books, paper and electronic items stay dry during monsoon transport and in rooms without secure shelving; because it stacks, several boxes can share a small store room. Health and relief teams use it the same way for medicines and radios or other communication equipment.
To lock it, fit the code padlocks to the two front locks, set a combination known only to the responsible staff, and turn the dials to scramble the code once the locks are closed. When the padlocks are not in use they are kept fixed inside the cover so they are not lost. For planning lab equipment export from India or long inland routes, the 6.5 kg weight and 0.12 cbm volume make freight calculations simple. Wipe the box clean with a damp cloth and avoid dropping heavy loads on the cover edges.
