Strange questions that sometimes need answering (or not asking in the first place really).

Seems strange that no other boxed product stored on shelves has a "handle" hole, on one end only, off to the side.
More to the point, that hole is more than big enough to let warehouse vermin get in. You'd think they'd want to protet their product more?

I used to assume it was to stop the smell of leather building up too much. These days I reckon it's there so ladies can "accidentally" leave a trail of glitter all over the bloody hou- Ahem. Never mind.
 
It is to make selection easier.
You may not be able to grab that box on the very top of the pile, but you can pull it off the stack with a single finger in the hole (ooo er missus).
It also means you can easily remove a box from the middle of the stack...finger in the hole, swift pull, the other boxes drop into place...bit like Jenga.

...or domino stacks, for those of us born before Jenga existed.
 
Because they are light, and can usually be lifted/shifted with one finger...and not much other stuff comes in similar boxes.

Bet you keep Lego in your old shoe boxes.

More to the point, in the right topic...

What the flip are you doing, up at this hour?
 
Look, I'm an engineer. If something has a Dymo label on it, that means there's a system, and it must be obeyed. Otherwise we have chaos.
