Some evidence doesn't belong in plastic bags. Either the plastic will not provide protection to the handler of the evidence or the plastic will cause damage to the evidence. For metal evidence or sharp evidence, we suggest using cardboard boxes. Complete with pre-printed evidence forms, our evidence boxes are 200 pounds per square inch burst strength stock with tuck-in sides for strength and security.

Knives can cause difficulties if not packaged in hard-sided containers. These boxes stack neatly and safely on a shelf to protect personnel in the Property Room. For transportation to the lab or to court, boxes protect everyone involved. The reusable nylon ties below can be used to secure the knife by wrapping the ties around it and through the holes in the box. Because the ties are reusable, the knife can be easily removed for latent print processing or other laboratory tests. Then, using the same ties, secure it back in the same box.
