The clamps give rigidness and strength to the box so you can stack multiple boxes on top of each other. The box is PAT passed, which means it is suitable for long-term storage.

Great product

I have been looking for a box for my 13x19 boxes, I don't want to use the "branded" boxes. Archival Methods makes really great stuff and it was the right price. The corners are reinforced with metal bands. What makes it really nice is there are two slits on the inside box that allow you to slide out the images without having to dig into the side of papers. Makes sense. I am very pleased with my purchase and t-h-a-n-k you B&H!

I had transported a previous archival methods 13 x 19 box back and forth to college photography classes for several years. (My professors had recommended this box for careful photo storage.). I could still use it, but it is full of my photos. It held up beautifully, The current model finally became available recently as production of the box must have begun again after the pandemic. BH kept me updated, and the box came earlier in June. It appears like the cardboard used in the new box is thinner than the previous box. I do hope this box holds up as well as the old box. Time will tell for my professional photographs. BH service was wonderful as always!!!

Asked by: Edith
This is not weather proof or resistant so it is not recommended to store in an outdoor shed.
