Archival Boxes

Archival Boxes from Thy Custom Boxes are strong containers meant for keeping important stuff safe for a long time. They're not just any boxes; they are like tiny, secure vaults for your memories, documents, and keepsakes. We designed them to protect things from damage caused by light, dust, humidity, and even pests.

What Makes Archival Boxes Special?

These boxes are made from special materials that won't harm your valuable items. Think of it like this: regular cardboard might contain acids that can slowly eat away at paper or fade photographs. Our archival boxes are acid free, meaning they won't cause this kind of damage. We use a sturdy type of cardboard that's built to last, resisting bending or breaking even when stacked.

The strength of the cardboard is really important. You want to be able to stack the boxes without worrying that the bottom ones will get crushed. Our boxes can handle the weight, so you can store them efficiently without taking up too much space. Plus, the boxes are made to protect against light and humidity, two enemies of old papers and photographs. Light can fade colors, and humidity can cause mold or mildew.

What Can You Store in Archival Boxes?

You can store almost anything that needs protection. Think about old family photos. Those pictures are priceless, and storing them in regular boxes can lead to them getting damaged or lost. Archival boxes are perfect for keeping those memories safe for future generations.

Important documents, like birth certificates, marriage licenses, or old letters, also belong in archival boxes. These documents are often irreplaceable, and protecting them from damage is essential. Old books, especially first editions or books with sentimental value, can benefit from being stored in these boxes. They help prevent the pages from yellowing or becoming brittle.

Even clothing and textiles can be stored in archival boxes. If you have a special dress or uniform that you want to preserve, these boxes can help protect them from moths, dust, and light. Just make sure to clean and properly fold the items before placing them in the box. Smaller items like stamps, coins, or other collectibles can also find a safe home in archival boxes. The boxes can help keep them organized and protected from the elements.

Sizes and Styles

We offer archival boxes in different sizes to fit your needs. Small boxes are great for photos or smaller documents. Medium boxes are good for books or larger documents. Large boxes can handle bigger items or larger quantities of smaller items.

Some boxes come with lids that completely cover the box, providing extra protection from dust and light. Others have attached lids that fold over, making them easy to open and close. We also have boxes with dividers, which are great for organizing smaller items and preventing them from shifting around inside the box.

The color of the boxes is usually a neutral color like tan or white. This helps protect the contents from light damage. Plus, the neutral color makes it easy to label the boxes so you can easily find what you're looking for.

How to Use Archival Boxes Properly

Using archival boxes correctly is important to ensure the best possible protection for your items. First, make sure the items you are storing are clean and dry. Dirt or moisture can cause damage over time.

If you are storing paper items, consider placing them in acid free folders or sleeves before putting them in the box. This provides an extra layer of protection. When packing the box, avoid overcrowding it. Overfilling can damage the items inside.

Label each box clearly with a description of the contents. This will make it much easier to find what you're looking for later. Store the boxes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Basements and attics can be problematic due to humidity and temperature fluctuations. A closet or storage room in a climate controlled area is ideal.

Check the boxes periodically to make sure everything is still in good condition. This will give you a chance to address any potential problems before they cause serious damage.

They're like time capsules, protecting your past for a brighter future.
