What Is the Insect Storage Box Used For?
Dried insects for a teaching or reference collection are mounted on entomological pins and pushed into a soft lining so they stay upright and do not touch each other. In this box the EVA sheet on both the lid and the base takes the pins, so two layers of specimens can be stored in one box, and the white art-paper interior shows each insect and its data label clearly. The main threat to a dry collection is small pests such as museum beetles, which eat specimens from the inside; the airtight closure and the holes for insecticide in the raised inner wall are there to keep them out. The box suits insect collection kit projects in schools, zoology and entomology practicals in colleges and universities, and departmental reference collections as part of zoology lab equipment.
Store the box flat and closed, in a dry place away from direct sunlight so the specimens do not fade or grow mould, and renew the insecticide in the holes from time to time. Use the index card holder to record the insect group, collector or collection site, so boxes can be found without opening them.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Size — one of the sizes listed above, or your own dimensions.
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units; departments often order boxes in matching sizes so they stack evenly in a cabinet.
- Collecting equipment — add insect nets or prepared slides of insect parts if you are equipping a full entomology practical.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can insects be pinned in the lid as well as the base?
Yes. The box is designed for pinning insects on both the top and bottom insides, and both are lined with 8 mm thick EVA sheet.
What is the box made of?
A teakwood frame with a sunmica top and plywood bottom, finished in lacquer polish, with the interior glazed white with art paper.
How does it keep pests out?
A raised wooden wall inside the bottom has holes for insecticide and makes the closed box airtight and pest proof. Keep the box shut and top up the insecticide periodically.

What fittings does it have?
Brass hinges, an index card holder for labelling, and clips.

Who manufactures this insect storage box?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a zoology and biology lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The insect storage box is made at JLab’s own works rather than bought in from a trader, which means schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct, each box is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders in matching sizes are handled by the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to every region — for example Sweden in Northern Europe, Afghanistan in South Asia, Mexico in North America, Turkey in the Middle East and Guatemala in Central America and the Caribbean.
