Introduction
In response to the increasing focus on easing the burden of students during their commutes, Plus Corporation, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, will launch the "Durable Box File for School Use" on January 1, 2026. This innovative product is specifically designed to accommodate the trend of "Okiben," allowing students to store their textbooks at school rather than carrying them back and forth.
Background on the Need for Durable Storage
Recent years have seen schools advocating for students to leave their textbooks at school to lighten their load. However, the box files provided to students often encounter wear and tear due to repeated handling, especially at the gripping area on the front. Increasing instances of damage have made it vital to create a solution that balances durability with practicality.
Features that Enhance Durability and Usability
To better suit the needs of students, the new box file boasts impressive durability and ease of use. Key features include:
Robust Dual Structure
The front part of the box file includes a reinforcing plate that creates a dual structure, making it resistant to pulling and impact. This feature addresses damage caused when students grasp the front for transportation, ensuring longevity through regular use.
Side-Insert Name Card Pocket
The file is equipped with a side-insert name card holder that enhances its resistance to tearing. This design minimizes the likelihood of fingers getting stuck while pulling out the box file, thus preventing damage to the pocket.
Sturdy Design to Handle Heavy Textbooks
The sides of the box file are designed to fold back twice, providing extra strength to maintain its shape even when housing heavy textbooks. This feature ensures that the box remains stable despite the weight of its contents.
Ample Depth for Additional Storage
With an internal depth of 274 mm, the box file can comfortably store observation boards used for extracurricular activities. This spacious design accommodates Plus Corporation’s exploration board and observation learning board (dimensions: 356 mm x 271 mm), allowing for organized storage of various educational materials.
Easy Assembly for Teachers
Assembly of the box file is straightforward, requiring the simple insertion of two tabs on the base. This user-friendly feature significantly eases the burden on teachers who must assemble multiple files for their entire class.

The box file will come in two sizes: regular and wide. The regular size is available in blue, green, and white colors, while the wide version is available in blue only. The suggested retail prices (including tax) are:
