Archival Methods Onyx Overview

Archival Methods Onyx Portfolio Boxes are often the best choice where presentation is as important a factor as storage and protection. This is particularly applicable for photographs, prints and similar art work that are in what we might call live storage, regularly presented or viewed but safely housed in between.

Portfolio boxes have the appeal of being "lockers" that converts to a "stage." Ruggedly constructed and well sealed, Archival Methods portfolio boxes flip open to provide a handsome, complimentary background that enhances and frames the contained works.

Archival
  • Box core is Kappa binder's board (0.1), a bookmaking board with no glue between layers
  • Lined with 80 lb. acid- and lignin-free paper
  • PAT tested and passed
  • Covered in library quality F-Grade Buckram (poly-cotton) with a moisture-resistant, 100% aqueous acrylic coating
  • Adhesive is pH balanced and buffered, <.0008% sulfur content
  • Reinforced hinge
  • Close-tolerance construction to keep out dust
  • Hinged design allows top to fold open and lie flat, providing easy and instant access; this design, moreover, facilitates transfer of stored items from one side to the other for smooth and professional presentation
    An additional and important benefit is that photos, transparencies or documents are subject to less physical handling compared to storage in conventional boxes, further reducing any risk of damage
    More specifically, works in portfolio boxes can be edge-handled with fingers never touching the surface of the work
    Portfolio boxes are ideal for storing matted or un-matted prints
    Strong hinge section withstands repeated opening and closing
    Offered in standard 2" depth, with either white or black lining or in 1-3/8" depth with white lining only
    All portfolios are hinged along the longest sides

    I HAVE BOUGHT FIVE OF THESE~!

    My clients are so impressed that I include this beautiful hand-made Archival Box from Archival Methods to contain my Folio of 35 Archival Prints of my posters created for The FILLMORE EAST music hall 1968 - 1971. Since all the prints are on Archival Paper using Pigmented Inks, the 35 pieces will be protected from UV or Acidic .damage for many years to come

    Good, inexpensive option for portfolios

    I purchased this product as part of a Photographic Portfolio class. A couple of other students purchased the same type of box. Overall, it performed well for the intended purpose and, to me, was just as good if not more useful than some of the expensive (>$100) portfolio cases. As described it is a black box with a white interior; there are no plastic sleeves. When viewing, the photos are lifted out of one half of the box and placed into the other. If you want to keep your photos in order for the next reviewer, I recommend carefully placing them facedown in the other half of the box. When it is time to reset them, all you have to do is lift the stack and turn it over. Otherwise, you have to resort the stack one photo at a time.
