  • Embossed label areas position PSA labels neatly and consistently

Archival CD Storage Box

The Archival Methods Flat Short Top Box is a black storage container built for CDs, DVDs and small specimens such as mineral samples. It uses acid- and lignin-free boxboard with corrosion-treated metal edge clamps to provide rigidity and high stacking strength. The close-fitted removable top seals out dust and insects. Embossed labeling areas on the end and lid front align standard pressure-sensitive identification labels neatly and consistently.

Upgrade From Basic Sleeves

This box replaces loose sleeves, jewel cases or generic cardboard boxes that lack archival-grade materials and dust protection. The jump is worthwhile when long-term preservation matters and when stacking multiple units without crushing the contents is required. The .040 and .060 tan-finished board and Kappa number of 5 or less ensure the enclosure will not introduce acid, sulfur or metal particles over time.

Build Integration

The 5.5 by 11.75 by 6 inch footprint fits standard shelving and allows vertical stacking to maximise shelf density. The flat top design keeps stacks stable while the embossed label zones speed up inventory tasks. No adhesives, plasticizers or post-consumer recycled pulp are present, so the box will not off-gas onto sensitive media or specimens.

Questions about this item

What are the exact interior dimensions for fitting CDs or DVDs?

The box measures 5.5 x 11.75 x 6 inches, sized to hold standard CDs and DVDs flat with room for spines.

How do the metal edge clamps attach to the boxboard?

The corrosion-treated black polyester clamps slide over the pre-scored box edges and lock into place; the wax-free polyester blind side prevents sticking to contents.

Will the acid-free boxboard degrade or need replacement over time?

The .040 and .060 tan-finished board has a Kappa number of 5 or less and sulfur below .0008%, so it remains stable indefinitely without replacement.
