The Pigeonhole Principle states that if you have more items than containers to put them in, then some container must contain multiple items. For example, if you have 7 items and only 3 containers, then by the Pigeonhole Principle at least one container must hold 3 or more items. The principle is also sometimes called the box principle and demonstrates that if the number of items is greater than or equal to twice the number of containers, some container will contain multiple items.
