Archival museum case for prints and photographs
This Solander-style case measures 17.5 by 22.5 by 2.5 inches deep and is built to protect matted prints, photographs, maps and drawings. The black buckram exterior uses a moisture-resistant aqueous acrylic coating over binder's board with no glue between layers. It suits professional archivists and collectors who need long-term preservation storage.
PAT-tested acid-free lining and reinforced hinge
The interior is lined with 10-point acid-and lignin-free card stock that has passed the Photographic Activity Test. A reinforced hinge with a dust flap and close-tolerance construction keep particulates out. Adhesive is pH-balanced and buffered with less than .0008% sulfur content for material safety.
Basswood spine and sides complete a rigid enclosure
Low-resin basswood forms the sides and spine, adding structural rigidity to the Kappa board top and bottom. The case ships ready to use and requires no assembly or additional hardware. It frees shelf space by stacking securely while keeping contents isolated from dust and environmental fluctuations.

Questions about this item
What does the 17.5 by 22.5 by 2.5 inch interior hold in practice?
It accommodates matted prints, photographs, maps and drawings up to that footprint with room for the mat and backing board.
How does the PAT-tested, acid-free 10-point lining protect paper items?
The buffered, lignin-free card stock and pH-balanced adhesive prevent acid migration and sulfur damage over time.
What clearance is needed for the reinforced hinge and dust flap when the case sits on a shelf?
Allow a few millimetres behind the spine so the hinge opens fully and the dust flap seals against the front edge.
