Several museums in the midwest use All-Packaging in Kansas City.  They 
custom make boxes and can use archival quality materials if requested.  
1515 West Ninth Street, Kansas City, MO 64101.  800-229-3711.

This past summer I ordered boxes for osteo collections.  7-7/16" x 
4-11/16" x 3-11/16" -- 1-1/2" (the last number being the depth of the 
lid)  Two piece set-up box made of 35pt white vat acid free board 
tightwrapped base and lid in acid free white litho paper.  My quote 
ranged from $4.42 each for 100 to $2.45 each for 500.  Plus shipping.  
I would expect the prices to have gone up since then.

All-Packaging has been very helpful in the past, even to the point of 
allowing multiple museums to order from same run (same size and 
material), thus allowing a cheaper per unit price, and then shipping 
and billing separately to each museum.
