Thank you very much for your reply. What you have described in your email is exactly what we are experiencing with the cardboard boxes. I agree with you, the

In my experience cardboard does not stand up to the rigors of cryo-preservation. The freeze thaw cycles that these boxes are subjected to tend to deteriorate the cardboard over time making them disintegrate. We have used these in the past with bad results

I am currently looking to buy around 200 cryovial boxes made of polycarbonate. We have been using Fisherbrand white fiberboard boxes (5 x 5 x 2 inches - L x W x H) with 81 cell dividers for 1.5 ml, but these boxes tend to deteriorate over time. Can anyone suggest
budget-friendly polycarbonate boxes? I would also appreciate any recommendations for better fiberboard boxes.</div>
