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.

Be assured of the superior protection of your treasured prints with our 20.5 x 30.5 x 1.5" Museum Drop Front Box. Crafted with acid and lignin-free materials, this archival storage box is perfect for preserving museum-quality prints. The double-thick side walls (1/4") on the base of the box offer enhanced structural integrity, making it suitable for larger print sizes and stacking.

The exterior of the box is covered with the same high-quality fabric used in our robust Museum Cases, ensuring durability and longevity. The box features a depth of 1-1/2", providing ample space to store between 60 to 70 prints on 290-gram paper or between 10 to 12 matted prints, depending on the mat board thickness.

Constructed with Kappa binder's board (.100), a bookmaking board with no glue between layers, the case top, sides, and bottom are designed to withstand the test of time. The box has passed PAT testing, ensuring its quality and reliability. The book binding cloth cover, treated with a moisture-resistant, 100% aqueous acrylic coating, adds an extra layer of protection against potential damage.

The adhesive used in the construction of the box is pH balanced and buffered, ensuring the safety of your prints. The close-tolerance construction of the box is designed to keep out dust, further safeguarding your valuable prints.

Ideal for the elegant presentation and storage of digital prints and photographs, with or without window mats, this box is designed with a drop front for easy access. The removable top reduces table space needed when presenting prints. The 18-1/2" x 24-1/2" box is perfect for matted images printed on 13" x 19" paper, while the 22-1/2" x 28-1/2" box is suitable for matted prints in the 17" x 22" or 17" x 25" paper formats. Invest in the 20.5 x 30.5 x 1.5" Museum Drop Front Box for the ultimate in print preservation and presentation.
