[Nhcoll-l] Clear storage boxes - skulls

[Jean-Marc Gagnon]

Emily,

We can communicate offline about these containers.
They are actually produced for us (the Canadian Museum of Nature) by Cascades Plastics and distributed in the US by Gaylord Archival.

Hi All,

Is anyone familiar with PET Clamshell boxes made by Gaylord (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.gaylord.com_Preservation_Archival-2DStorage-2DBoxes_Multipurpose_Gaylord-2526-2523174-253B-2DClear-2DPET-2DClamshell-2DFlat-2DLid-2DArchival-2DBoxes-2D-2528125-2DPack-2529_p_PET208-29-3F&d=AwIFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=Pxai56t22wbiGDtJe8IJqgLoWKIm5dGOEmx5iV1qnz0&s=8OMTsgW4HMF5rFly2VcVKf6U8QMPIrJkdfheIUTDnIA&e= 

We are looking to upgrade many of our medium-sized mammal skull boxes and trays and like the idea of transparent housing. The boxes are made of an anti-static archival material (polyethylene terephthalate). It would be great to hear from folks with experience with this product in terms of its durability/flimsiness, lid closure strength, general weathering of handling and long-term storage, etc.

Thanks! 
Emily
