[Nhcoll-l] Containers

[Neisskenwirth Fabian]

Hey Sergio,

i recomend you RAKO boxes. They are very stable, come in all different sizes and have a EU standardization.

It’s a swiss company, but I found seller in Spain: https://www.manutan.es/es/mas/caja-apilable-norma-europa-color-gris-rako-de-90-a-175-l

Almost all museums use these here, you can pile them up very easily and the hold a big amount of weight. And it's really good quality, so they last long too.

Hope this helps.


Saludos de Berna,

We have been using spun polystyrene boxes since 2005 from Rubox in the Netherlands: https://rubox.nl/
There is also a supplier in the UK. The company is Stewart: http://www.stewart-solutions.co.uk and their boxes are used in many British museums and available direct or through third part companies. We found Rubox fine, cheaper, and easier to do business with.

We are looking for suitable containers to keep the specimens dry. 

We have already solved the storage for wet collections, but now we want boxes or standard containers for mineral samples, fossils, mollusk shells, bird eggs, seeds, etc. As you see, not for large pieces.

I think the best ones are transparent polystyrene boxes of various sizes, but I'm not sure now if there are another systems. What do they use in their collections? Do you recommend any supplier in Europe?

Thanks!

Sergio
