[April Nye]

We order our acid free trays and boxes from Gaylord / { All Packaging Company } and Conservation Resources. All Packaging Company does have boxes with lids.

We still use the "old style" brown (kraft) paper set up boxes which we buy from:

Marathon Packaging
702 Notre Dame, Suite 105
Gross Pointe, MI 48230
313-882-0420

(They have some with the old standard "kraft" measurements.)

What's a good source for archival boxes in a range of sizes for housing osteological specimens?  Is there anything more economical than Gaylord, Hollinger or Paige Co.?  Does anyone have manufacturer information for the old-style yellow (or brown) and white two-layer paper boxes?
thanks
Sue
