Well made

Nice Boxes

I'm using these boxes to house a bunch of very old family portraits that were mounted to cardboard and too large/thick to put in an album. I've placed each photo in a plastic sleeve and then put them in these boxes. I like that my photos are safe but still easily accessible. I may order a few more for some older albums that I'd like to protect from light/dust. These boxes look nice on the shelf with all of my other albums and they are sturdy/well made.

I don't see a box sized for 11 x 8 1/2" — do you have other options that will fit?

The Print File 9.5 x 12.5 x 3" Drop-Front Metal Edge Archival Storage Box (Black) does not come in an 8.5 x 11" size; however, there's the Lineco Drop-Front Archival Box (8.6 x 11.1 x 3", Black), B&H # LISBDF8511B, as an alternative.
