## Notes

- Sterilite publishes the 12 Qt. Storage Box (model 4243, item 42438015) at 16 1/2 × 11 1/4 × 5 3/8 in outside, length × width × height.
- The file is a box envelope of the exterior dimensions with the lid on; the taper, lid rim, latches/handles and stacking ribs are not modelled because Sterilite does not publish them.
- Interior dimensions are Sterilite's figures measured at the bottom of the tub; the tub tapers, so the opening is larger, but its size is not published.
- True size, no printing tolerance added. Only published numbers are used; anything not published is said so.
