would this box hold up to being buried and retrieved at a later date?

I would say yes, but you may want to place the contents inside a zip lock bag inside the box just to be on the safe side.

Over a long period of time... I wouldn't take the chance. GET something with a rubber gasket seal.

It really isn't built to be used as a cache container. if that it how you are goning to use it, wrap it in a contractor bad for added protection.

I think it would, the seal is protected by a lip on the lid so it wouldn't be in contact with the ground water. It seals very well.

it got thrown away, I did not store. I would imagine it would have gotten extremely hard over time

If you overfill the box then it's possible. If there's waste inside the box when you clean it and there is no scoop in it will probably come out a bit.

I don't see why not... it is more than likely stored in the warehouse in the box

Yup. I mean it's a cardboard box with a styrofoam cooler inside. So as long as you're careful cutting the tape and not slicing the cooler inside you could reuse it as long as it holds up. I packed contents with dry ice and newspaper to fill the gaps. I shipped in 2 day from San Diego to Boston and the contents were still frozen solid.

so far I've just kept it in the box covered and a cool place so far no problems. Hope this helps you.

I didn't save any of the boxes, but the film was good for a couple of years before it expired. If I find a box, I'll update the post.

As long as the package remains sealed, probably at least several months . . . I've had it sit that long during hot summers with no ill effects.

This box is a pretty heavy duty. If you have it on a strong base it should be fine.

As far as I know, the "box" is still in the ''box" in my son-in-law's shop. Sorry, can't be of any help.

The box does not have any insulation and depending on the thickness you may be able to put some but it would have to be very thin!

I believe it was, I have had mine almost two years and I love it. I kept the original box and I store it in there when not in use.
1219961
Yes, as long as you care for the box when sealing and opening. The box is very sturdy.

I do not remember because it has been over a year and the box has been recycled. Perhaps the manufacturer could help.

I reclose my box with a clothespin and set back on the shelf. No problem yet. I wouldn't let it set there for 3 or 4 months, but mine gets used pretty quickly anyway.

It should be fine up until that date, or in my experience some time afterwards. The only way these things go bad is if the packaging is damaged or punctured in some way, or if you leave it for years (months is probably OK).

I no longer have the box with the date, but I did check it on arrival and recall it has a long exp. date as I was concerned about that also.
