NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- OfficeMax® (NYSE: OMX), a leader in office products and services, is launching a new collection of storage boxes under its [IN]PLACE® private brand called [IN]PLACE Hanging File Portable Storage Boxes. The collection features a new compact design for storage and portability and easy-glide file rails that allow for organization and easy access to commonly used files. Offered in white or kraft, the box is made of durable corrugated materials constructed with 80% post-consumer recycled content and features an attached flip-top lid for simple closure.

The [IN]PLACE Hanging File Portable Storage Box was designed to offer accessible storage of commonly used files for the office or home workspace. Its lightweight, ergonomic design also makes the storage box ideal for transporting files from one workstation to another. Half the size of traditional storage boxes, the [IN]PLACE storage box offers an efficient, organized hanging file system designed specifically for letter-sized paperwork.

OfficeMax will continue to conduct customer research and make product enhancements to deliver more innovative, affordable products through its private brands. This strategic direction aligns with OfficeMax's new company tagline, Work With Us, which encourages the American workforce to work together to create a brighter 2010.
