Choosing between two gray Akro-Mils stackable totes comes down to side-wall design: one lets air move through, the other keeps a closed surface. The 37678Grey is the airflow option, while the 38358Gry is the closed-panel option. Both are new straight wall containers made in the US, and both have a -20°F to 140°F operating range. Your choice affects how much air reaches your stored items and what you pay.
Quick verdict
If airflow is a priority, pick the Akro-Mils 37678Grey Vented & Stackable Straight Wall Storage Container. It carries the lower listed price and is designed with open-side walls. If you prefer a solid, uninterrupted side, pick the Akro-Mils 38358Gry Solid & Stackable Straight Wall Storage Container; it has the higher listed price but no side openings.

Product notes
Akro-Mils 37678Grey Vented & Stackable Straight Wall Storage Container
The 37678Grey is the vented straight wall tote, listed at USD 36.89. It is a gray plastic container with a straight wall design that stacks with other totes. The vented sides are the reason to consider it: air can circulate around whatever you put inside. The lid is not included, so plan to add one if you need a closed top. The main limitation is that vent openings leave contents more exposed to airborne dust than a closed-side container would.
Akro-Mils 38358Gry Solid & Stackable Straight Wall Storage Container
The 38358Gry is the solid straight wall tote, listed at USD 40.19. It is also a gray plastic container and stacks the same way. The solid side-wall design means there are no vent openings, which can be useful when you want a closed surface or need to keep out light dust. The lid is not included here either. The higher listed price is the main drawback once you account for the closed-side style.
Final choice by use case
- If you want airflow and a lower listed price, choose the Akro-Mils 37678Grey Vented & Stackable Straight Wall Storage Container.
- If you want solid walls and a closed surface, choose the Akro-Mils 38358Gry Solid & Stackable Straight Wall Storage Container.
