I would say no. Try instead something more precise, such as "If $n$ objects are placed into $k$ boxes, then there is at least one box containing at least $\lceil n/k \rceil$ objects" – Henry May 31 '16 at 07:28

If there's $n$ containers to hold $kn+1$ objects, then no matter how you distribute them, at least one container will have $k+1$ or more objects.
