Archival Methods 17.25 x 22.25 x 1.37" Onyx Portfolio Box with Black Lining

Before you entrust your valuable photographs, prints, and documents to just any storage solution, consider the unparalleled protection and presentation offered by our 17.25 x 22.25 x 1.37" Onyx Portfolio Box with Black Lining. Designed with the discerning artist and professional in mind, this portfolio box boasts a hinged design that allows the top to effortlessly fold open and lie flat, ensuring easy and instant access to your work. This feature not only simplifies the transfer of items for a smooth and professional presentation but also minimizes the physical handling of your delicate works, significantly reducing the risk of damage.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the core of the box is constructed from Kappa binder's board (.100), a superior bookmaking material known for its sturdiness and the absence of glue between its layers, which could otherwise compromise the integrity of your stored items. The interior is lined with 80 lb. acid- and lignin-free paper, creating an archival environment that safeguards against degradation over time. Our portfolio box has undergone and passed the Photographic Activity Test (PAT), ensuring that it meets the highest archival standards and offers a safe haven for your treasured pieces.

The exterior is covered in library-quality F-Grade Buckram (poly-cotton), renowned for its durability and elegance. This material is further enhanced with a moisture-resistant, 100% aqueous acrylic coating, adding an extra layer of protection against spills and humidity. The adhesive used in the construction of the box is pH balanced and buffered, contributing to the overall archival quality by preventing any chemical interactions that could damage your works.

A reinforced hinge ensures that the box can withstand the rigors of repeated opening and closing, a testament to its durability and longevity. The close-tolerance construction is meticulously designed to keep out dust and other environmental contaminants, preserving the pristine condition of your stored items.

Our portfolio boxes are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. They are ideal for storing both matted and un-matted prints, transforming from secure 'lockers' to an elegant 'stage' when opened. The handsome black lining provides a complimentary background that enhances and frames the contained works, making these boxes the perfect choice for those who value both presentation and preservation.

Whether your art is in "live storage," frequently presented or viewed, or simply kept safe in between exhibitions, our Onyx Portfolio Box with Black Lining is the optimal choice for professionals who demand the best in storage, protection, and presentation for their valuable works.
