Facts

The development of hinged lids has greatly influenced how we store things. In the Middle Ages, better metalworking led to more complex hinges in chests and boxes, which made them safer and easier to use. With the Industrial Revolution, mass production began, and many items, including hinged-lid containers, were made from materials like tinplate, steel, and plastic. These included tool chests, lunch boxes, and storage containers.

Today, hinged lids are found in many everyday objects, such as laptops, phones, medicine bottles, and food containers. Due to the advances in engineering and materials, containers are stronger, lighter, and more convenient.
