Boxing & Preservation – Ensuring Longevity for Your Collection
Boxing plays a crucial role in the preservation of books and documents. Not only do they provide essential structural support, but they also protect against dust, dirt, light, as well as mechanical, pest, and water damage.
Each box we create is tailored to the exact measurements of the item it’s designed to protect, using only archival-quality materials. We can craft boxes in a variety of formats to suit the specific needs of the material being stored, ensuring the highest level of protection for your valuable collection.
Tray Box – Flexible and Functional Protection
Tray boxes offer excellent flexibility, allowing for custom lettering options on both the spine and front. These boxes are crafted from archival-quality buckram and lined with high-quality paper, ensuring both durability and protection for your materials.
With a choice of 39 colours, you can personalise the tray box to match your collection's aesthetic. Additionally, shelf marks and labels can be added to suit your needs, making organization simple and efficient.
Drop-Down Spine Box – Convenient and Customisable Storage
Drop-down spine boxes are designed to sit upright on your shelf, providing both practical storage and easy access to your materials. These boxes are made to measure for a perfect fit, and can be lettered on the spine if required, offering a professional and organized appearance.
Perfect for storing books, documents, and other materials, these boxes combine durability with functionality, ensuring that your collection is both secure and easily accessible.
Phase Box – Temporary, Economical Protection
The Phase Box offers a temporary yet economical solution to prevent further damage to books and documents in the short-term. Made custom to size for each item, these boxes are crafted from archival board to ensure basic protection while your materials are awaiting long-term conservation or storage.
Phase Boxes can also be personalised with shelf marks or labels to keep your collection organized and accessible. While ideal for short-term use, they provide a reliable safeguard against damage until more permanent solutions are in place.
Slip Case – Stylish Protection and Display
Slip cases are designed to offer both protection and visual appeal, preserving your book while allowing the spine to be beautifully displayed. These cases are crafted to sit upright on a shelf, providing a stylish and practical finishing touch to any book.
Perfect for high-value books or special editions, slip cases safeguard your materials from dust and damage while enhancing their presentation on your shelf.
Flap Case – Secure and Custom Protection for Thinner Items
Flap cases are designed specifically for thinner documents, letters, or pamphlets. These cases are made to the exact size of the material they house, ensuring a snug fit that prevents any movement and provides maximum protection.
For added customization, lettering can be added to the spine (where thick enough) and on the front, allowing you to organize and label your collection with ease.
Ideal for smaller, delicate items, flap cases offer both practical protection and a professional appearance.
