Archival Method 01-037 Overview

This Drop-Front Archival Storage Box in tan from Archival Methods measures 16.5 x 20.5 x 3" and keeps a wide variety of material safe and secure. The box is archival in design and made from heavyweight archival-grade boxboard. Use it for anything from old newsprint to pamphlets. 

We all have boxes and boxes of old prints we inherited from our families. Most of these images are usually stored in the attic or closet within old-fashioned cardboard boxes that are subject to degradation from humidity, water, and other elements. Archival Methods storage boxes are high-quality containers not only perfect for today's digital revolution but for preserving your older traditional prints.

With Archival Methods, your precious memories remain intact and are protected, so you can safely pass them on to future generations.

Each storage box from Archival Methods has a metal edge, a removable top, and a hinged "drop front" panel at the long side. This allows you to open the bottom section and insert or remove contents safely, without bending or flexing them. This reduces the risk of "dog-earing" or damaging your documents.
Metal edge clamps are corrosion treated with black polyester coating and have a wax-free polyester finish on the blind side for rigidity and high stacking strength.
Archival Methods boxes are manufactured from heavyweight archival-grade boxboard.

Perfect for Prints

Ive used these boxes for years to safely store prints after displaying them. The 16.5 x 20.5 x 3 size is generous for my usual 13x19 max size, but it allows for easy handling, even with protective sleeves on prints in the portfolio boxes.  The 3 depth is a good compromise, holds a lot of prints, any more would get a bit heavy for easy handling, especially. The box is made of quite sturdy board, with the corners fastened with an external metal staple.  Occasionally the corners will separate, but as another reviewer noted, can be fixed with some archival tape.  This batch seems a bit more secure, though the fasteners appear the same.  Time will tell, but its a minor issue. Smaller sizes are handy for loose snapshots, keepsake clippings in sleeves, etc.

Sturdy and functional

Made of heavy board of a type that's proved durable in the past. Only slight negative is the metal strips that secure corners and can pull loose at end, but a bit of archival tape cures that. Curiously, the 16x20 is cheaper than the 13x19.
