Abstract: The shelf storage box is of the type which has a bottom panel, side panels, a back wall formation and a front wall formation which is not as high as the side panels and back wall formation so that one can see the contents of the box. The front wall formation includes two flaps that extend respectively from the side panels in overlapping relationship and a foldable panel hinged to the bottom wall panel and extending upwardly and over the flaps. A first panel section of the foldable panel has a cut therein which extends from the bottom panel upwardly, across a portion of the panel section, and then downwardly to the bottom panel to form a foldout handle formation with the space left by the foldout handle formation defining a window. The foldout handle formation has a hole therein to facilitate gripping of the handle with a finger.
