This black 11.5 x 14.5 x 3" Drop-Front Archival Box from Lineco is used by photographers, artists, and archivists for storing and protecting photographs, flat art, and other important documents.

The archival box is made from a 60-point board, which is acid- and lignin-free, making the box suitable for long-term storage. Acid levels are lowered because the board is buffered and does not transfer any contamination to the contents. Each corner of the lid and box has a metal edge for added strength and durability, which is ideal for stacking boxes on top of each other. Once the lid is removed, the box's drop-front lowers to reveal a white interior, that allows easy access without any damage to the contents.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What are the interior dimensions of this box?

A: Hello Richard. I took a ruler to one of my boxes and it measured 9.5 x 12.5 x 3 , which happen to be the quoted dimensions of the box. Either the manufacturer is measuring the interior or the thin sides subtract no appreciable volume. I even sliced a piece of spare mat board to those dimensions and placed it in the bottom of the box to be sure. Even though the box is very thin it is extremely rigid. It's a well made box.
