flimsy, and one was clearly used

Dec 28, 2019

This box is fine, although it's shallow and flimsy and I wouldn't use it for fragile papers. The real problem was buying it via B&H: the shipments came in multiple boxes with no explanation, and one of the boxes was clearly used (it was slightly scratched and covered in loose and store-done shrink wrap). Not a fan.

Ideal dimensions, less than ideal design and construction

Aug 27, 2018

Arrived with the bottom buckled at all four corners, which lifted the bottom in the center and makes the box unusable for archiving fine art prints. Will keep it and attempt to repair it and use for other purposes. Have ordered the stronger Century Archival Storage Century Box #1124 Clamshell.

Arrived Damaged and Ripped

Dec 6, 2017

I needed to buy a portfolio for a presentation, I liked how it was sent to me so quickly, but the box was damaged, within the wrapping itself. Not only does it look like it's been dropped a few times, but it's ripped in 2 separate places as well. The plastic wrapping around it wasn't ripped, so I feel as though it was damaged before it was even packaged. The way the material is as well it would have to take some effort for it to be ripped. I'm up... Show More

Great for print storage

Great for print storage and way less than presentation boxes but still with al the archival properties.

Excellent alternative to the previous supplier of archival storage products. Faster service and better prices.

Economical and safe print storage.

May 15, 2017

Economical and safe print storage. They even look nice but anyone who has mistaken them for a presentation case should have reread the description. There IS a reason these cost so much less than a presentation case..they are not as sturdy and don't look nearly as nice. But for long term print storage these are the ticket.

I would definately buy this product again

This is a very elegant looking archival storage box, in black. It has the drop front, which makes it very east to access your prints.

Archival Methods vs. Print File

Dec 11, 2016

I purchased this Archival Methods archival box and also a comparable Print File box. The Print File board material is twice as thick as the Archival Methods product, and feels much sturdier. The construction is very good on both.

Flimsy

Jul 6, 2016

The box looks nice but arrived with bends and creases all along the sides. Like it was either poorly packaged or mishandled, or stored wrong. This was purchased for a presentation, so that's really poor. Don't have time to exchange it, so I'm stuck with something sloppy.

Appears to be sturdy

May 26, 2016

The Drop-Front Archival Storage Box appears to be strong enough to stack. I believe they are acid free so photos should be well protected. I use acid free Archival Tissue Paper between each photo to assure the photos are protected from scratches and other damage. This is the first time I use this product but I'm quite confident that they will do what it is intended to do. The 4 stars is because I haven't used this product before. They appear to be durable but time will tell.

Awesome box

Apr 27, 2016

I needed this box to safely transport my 13x19 prints to and from classes. This box is very sturdy. My only con that I've found is that the lid and the base of the box are two separate pieces.

Great Box for the price and quality...

Apr 25, 2016

I just use it for print storage in the studio. I like the black interior and cheap price. I bought four more. Great price point. I wouldn't buy this and expect to carry it around as a print showing/viewing box.

Good Archival box

Sep 28, 2015

This product was good for storing and keeping my big prints in good condition. It was a little more flimsy than I was expecting but overall it get the job done.

Good for The Price

Sep 21, 2015

Used for storing letter size work prints to bring to class/workshop. Bit of a tight fit getting the top back on and I wish they were available in a lighter colour that could be written on. But, they do the job.

Beatuiful Archival storage boxes

Jan 23, 2014

Boxes that appear similar to the old Light Impression boxes from back in the 20th century--only problem I had with my order is that my 8.5 x 11 prints don't fit--because I ordered the wrong size--my bad--but I'm keeping these boxes--I'm sure I'll fill them with something

They're pretty great

Apr 19, 2013

Nice and smooth to the touch, clean texture. Archival. Acid-Free. Worth the $ if you're trying to store material for an extended amount of time. Much better than a shoebox.

Great way to store prints

I use these boxes to store 8.5 x 11 inch prints. They stack nicely and hold a lot of prints. A great way to organize and protect your photos.

Nice Black Box

Took it on a trip with me and packed it in my bag that I checked on the plane. It help up fine and had no damage from the trip. Its a good price and a durable product.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Mar 22, 2012

Purchased this box to store my prints for the duration of a darkroom class. Excellent durability, very convenient because it is not too bulky, and also I think it looks classier in the black. The only thing I would say is that if you're looking for something more long-term than I was, get a 3 instead of a 1.5 because there is limited space.

Does the trick

Nov 21, 2011

A good storage box for the studio. I keep my prints in it and it does the trick. It isn't the sturdiest box, and does not have the most professional look to it, so I primarily keep it in my studio. The only drawback I have noticed is that the edges of the box shed little pieces of black paper into the box that get on the photos.

I will buy more!

Oct 4, 2011

Besides being a photographer, I am also a museum consultant. I have been looking for a box to use for storage of 13 x 19 inch prints. Finally I found them at B&H. They look great and the price is good. Suggest however that you order these by themselves. I ordered them with some frames and they got damaged from the pressure from the weight.

Overpriced cardboard box

Oct 3, 2011

I bought this box with the intent of storing my larger prints in it. However this box,made of thicker manila folder like material, was crushed in shipping. It has corners reinforced with metal fasteners, but every single one fell off by the time it arrived, and it was almost completely flat. At least it fell apart in shipping rather than when I had my expensive prints in it.
