Archival Box for Photos and Documents

The Archival Methods Metal Edge Short Top Box is an acid-free container built to preserve photographs, prints, postcards and small specimens. Its metal-edge construction adds rigidity while the tan finish shields contents from light exposure. The short-top design allows easy access to stored items. It is intended for collectors, archivists and anyone needing long-term protection for paper-based materials.

Suited for Flat Storage of Prints and Small Objects

This box fits users who store photographs, documents, postcards or mineral samples in a single layer up to 12.5 by 15 inches with a 4.25 inch depth. It is not designed for rolled documents, oversized artwork, three-dimensional artefacts or high-humidity environments where sealed climate control is required. Buyers needing waterproof or fire-rated enclosures should look elsewhere.

Capacity Handles Standard Print Sizes

The interior comfortably holds standard photographic prints, postcards and similarly sized flat items stacked to the 4.25 inch limit. Acid-free materials prevent yellowing and deterioration over extended periods. Light-blocking sides help maintain image integrity and prevent fading. The box runs out of space for bulkier collections, thick albums or anything exceeding the stated length, width or height.
