Great but first order arrived damaged

I ordered two, one arrived crushed, the other dented. Packing was so-so for boxes that are apparently rather fragile. Possibly crushed by a heavier box that arrived the same day... That said Adorama customer service was fantastic in ordering replacements.

Superb Quality

This is an exceptionally well made print storage box for archival photos. For anyone looking for a product along these lines, I could not recommend this one more enthusiastically. It is a very professional appearing product and well worth the cost.

Good archival storage

Nice looking boxes that present a good archival solution. Unfortunately, they were a bit banged up during shipping with some creases in the top. Hopefully they can cushion the corners a bit more...

Not Very Sturdy

I needed a pro looking box to ship photos to a gallery. It didn't hold up very well through the transportation process. and it was mailed in a larger box. kind of collapsed by the time I got it back. Just not built sturdy enough.

Archiving old to preserve

By Robin N.

This is the way to save old photo's and articles from deterioration.

Why settle for anything less than the utmost protection for your valuable photographs and documents The Archival Methods Drop Front Box is a professional-grade storage solution that ensures your prints, photos, art, and similar flat-stored items remain in pristine condition. Crafted from durable, high-quality tan cardboard, this sturdy box is designed to withstand the rigors of time, safeguarding your most cherished items.

The box's reliable construction is complemented by its archival quality, making it an ideal choice for photographers, archivists, and collectors who demand the best in preservation. Its spacious interior is perfectly sized to accommodate a variety of items, including digital prints, musical scores, pamphlets, letters, and newspapers, without the need for folding or rolling.

Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the box's design. The drop front feature allows for easy access to contents, minimizing the risk of damage when removing items. The box is further enhanced with metal edges that not only add to its structural integrity but also provide a sleek, professional appearance. For added convenience, embossed labeling areas on the end and side of the top cover enable neat and easy identification of contents.

Safety is paramount when handling delicate or fragile ephemera, and the Archival Methods Drop Front Box addresses this with large radius, rounded "soft corners" on the drop-front. This thoughtful feature ensures that your valuable items are protected from accidental snags or tears during retrieval. Additionally, the top cover edges boast scalloped finger grips along the long dimension, allowing for effortless opening.

Choose the Archival Methods Drop Front Box for a reliable, sturdy, and professional storage option that delivers peace of mind through superior protection and ease of use.
