System for stacking archive boxes including a fire-resistant drywall support shell

A system for stacking a first archive box on top of a second archive box, wherein said first archive box and said second archive box each comprise:

• an outer shell including a bottom wall and at least one side wall, said outer shell including at least one support foot extending therefrom;
• an inner shell including a bottom wall and at least one side wall, said inner shell disposed within said outer shell, said inner shell having an opening defining a storage compartment, said inner shell being spaced apart from said outer shell defining a cavity between said inner shell and said outer shell;
• a gypsum board drywall support shell disposed within said cavity and surrounding a substantial portion of said inner shell, said drywall support shell including a bottom wall spaced apart from said bottom wall of said inner shell and said bottom wall of said outer shell, said drywall support shell including at least one side wall that is spaced apart from said at least one side wall of said inner shell and said at least one side wall of said outer shell, said at least one side wall of said drywall support shell including an end portion, said bottom wall of said drywall support shell including a top surface, wherein said end portion is in contact with said top surface;
• a thermal reflectant layer surrounding at least a substantial portion of said drywall support shell, wherein said thermal reflectant layer is positioned between said drywall support shell and said outer shell;
• and
• a lid configured to be disposed over said opening in said inner shell to selectively enclose said storage compartment, said lid including an indentation defined therein configured for receiving said at least one support foot of said first archive box,
• wherein said at least one side wall of said drywall support shell of said first archive box is substantially vertically aligned with, or positioned inwardly of, said at least one side wall of said drywall support shell of said second archive box whereby said second archive box is supportive of said first archive box.

• a gypsum board drywall support shell disposed within said cavity and surrounding a substantial portion of said inner shell, said drywall support shell including a bottom wall positioned adjacent to said bottom wall of said inner shell, said drywall support shell including at least first and second opposing side walls positioned adjacent to said first and second opposing side walls of said inner shell, respectively;
• and
• a lid configured to be disposed over said opening in said inner shell to selectively enclose said storage compartment,
• wherein said bottom surface of said outer shell of said first archive box is in contact with said lid of said second archive box to form at least one load transmission point, and wherein said at least one load transmission point is positioned inwardly of said first and second opposing side walls of said drywall support shell of said second archive box whereby said second archive box is supportive of said first archive box.
