Archival Box - Premium Newspaper

Sized for newspapers, these boxes are also great to preserve documents and most family memorabilia*.  Wrap your small or delicate memorabilia in our acid free tissue to separate and protect it from other items.

Newspapers are not printed on archival quality paper so special care is needed to preserve them .  Because of its high acid and lignin content, newsprint is more vulnerable to deterioration than other paper.  In spite of the fact that newspapers are intended for short term use, there is often a desire to preserve newspapers or newspaper clippings for future generations.  Our Superior Performance archival boxes protect as well as preserve!  The alkaline buffered materials in common use today were developed in the 1960s.  Products utilizing Superior Performance technology were developed late in the 20th century for use as preservation tools of the 21st century; they bring an entirely new level of protection to your newspaper and document collection. 

Superior Performance archival box material has over 100 times the acid removal capacity of standard buffered materials.  But, acid and lignin are not the only pollutants that speed up deterioration.  Superior Performance Archival Boxes not only protect against acid but also pre-acidic by-products and other harmful pollutants that cause deterioration such as ozone (O₃), oxides of nitrogen (NOx, NO, NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), as well as other harmful environmental molecules.

This Superior Performance is achieved at a molecular level by the use of alkaline buffers combined with dispersed molecular traps to remove and neutralize acids, pollutants, and the harmful by-products of deterioration.  These archival boxes are made from the highest quality lignin-free and sulfur-free alpha cellulose paper, and pass or exceed the requirements of all archival standards, including the Photographic Activity Test (PAT).  The Superior Performances archival boxes provide actual preventative protection for your documents and memorabilia, as opposed to the passive state of doing no harm, which is the most that can be achieved by the better buffered materials.

Use these acid free, lignin-free Superior Performance archival boxes for convenient, long-term storage of newspapers, large documents and other collectibles.  They are also large enough to hold a 12" x 12" scrapbook album along with memorabilia.  With reinforced corners, these boxes are solid, secure units that resist dust, dirt, and light infiltration.  *NOTE: Do not use to store animal based fabrics such as silk, leather or wool *

• 18" Long x 13" Wide x 3" High  (holds folded newspaper)
