Sterilite 66 Quart Clear Storage Tote with Latching Lid vs Sterilite Plastic Stacking FlipTop Latching Storage Box, 6 Pack
The Sterilite 66 Quart Tote is the better buy for anyone storing bulky items like clothing, blankets, holiday decor or garage gear. The Sterilite FlipTop 6-pack is a small-parts organizer for office supplies, crafts and accessories, not a substitute for a large tote. The two are different size classes, so compare prices per unit of capacity, not per pack.

Questions and answers
- Which is better for storing clothes and blankets?
- The 66 Quart Tote. One tote holds far more than the entire FlipTop 6-pack, and its clear walls let you see what is inside.
- Which is better for office supplies and crafts?
- The FlipTop 6-pack. Each small box suits pens, clips, ribbons and accessories, and the flip lid makes quick access easy.
- Is the 66 Quart Tote worth it over the FlipTop boxes?
- Only if you need bulk storage. For small items, six FlipTop boxes are more useful than one large tote.
- Which stacks better?
- The 66 Quart Tote stacks more securely because the bases are designed to sit on each other. The FlipTop boxes stack too, but they are small and light.
- Are either water resistant?
- No. Neither is rated water resistant, so keep both away from damp garages or outdoor storage.
- How many FlipTop boxes equal one 66 Quart Tote?
- Roughly 23. One tote holds about 66 quarts; each FlipTop box holds about 2.8 quarts.
