Archival Print Storage

The Adorama 5x7" Print Storage Box is designed for photographers and archivists who need long-term protection for 5x7 inch prints. Its acid-free fiberboard construction prevents yellowing and deterioration over time. The box uses a dual-chemistry design with an alkaline-buffered exterior and a neutral interior separated by a polyester barrier. This structure safeguards prints against environmental pollutants and light exposure.

Sustained Preservation Performance

Under continuous storage conditions, the archival materials maintain their protective properties without off-gassing harmful acids. The alkaline-buffered exterior actively neutralizes atmospheric pollutants that migrate toward the prints. The polyester barrier ensures the interior chemistry remains stable and non-buffered, preventing alkaline damage to sensitive photographic emulsions. Light-blocking construction prevents cumulative fading during extended shelf life.

Build Quality and Access

Metal-reinforced corners add structural rigidity to the two-piece fiberboard shell, resisting corner crush during handling and stacking. The drop-front design on the bottom tray allows prints to slide out horizontally without finger pressure on the edges. A removable top lid provides full access for inventory checks or reorganization. The snug internal dimensions of 5 1/2x7 1/2x3 inches minimize print movement inside the box.

Questions about this item

Will the box warp or off-gas if stored in a warm attic for years?

The archival fibreboard is acid-free and lignin-free with alkaline-buffered exterior and neutral interior separated by a polyester barrier, preventing off-gassing and warping under normal indoor conditions.

Do I need to buy separate sleeves or interleaving paper for the prints?

The box holds loose 5x7 prints directly; sleeves or interleaving paper are optional and not included.

Can I stack these boxes on a shelf with older cardboard photo boxes?

Metal-reinforced corners and rigid two-piece construction allow stable stacking alongside older boxes of similar footprint.
