[Nhcoll-l] Clear storage boxes - skulls

[Jay R Cordeiro]

Hi, Emily.

We do not produce clear clamshell boxes at Northeast Natural History & Supply; just archival, glazed, acid free corrugated cardboard boxes.  However, I believe you can order these directly from the Canadian Museum of Nature in addition to Gaylord Archival (which tends to be very expensive). The only person I know there is Jean-Marc Gagnon so you might try starting with him.

Best,
Jay

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
