Flat Pack Stores - The ExpandaStore®
Containers Direct are the largest retailer of genuine ExpandaStore® flat pack shipping containers, the best-selling and best quality demountable container available in the UK.




Our flat pack range is quick and easy to assemble with no specialist tools required.
Made from galvanised steel with inbuilt double locking system, flat pack containers offer great security.
These units are delivered in flat pack form and are completely man portable making them a perfect option for difficult to reach areas.
Flat pack containers are demountable meaning they can be relocated and re-assembled multiple times.
We offer all of our flat pack units with a 12 month fair wear and tear guarantee for additional peace of mind.
Take a look at our guide to erecting flat pack containers in eight simple steps. It's not as tricky as you may think, and the smallest size can be put together by two people in less than 60 minutes. The reverse process will bring your container back down to flat pack form for easy removal to a new location, or to be neatly stored away.
