[Nhcoll-l] Rigid Paper Trays

[William Simpson]

Hi Carmen,

We use trays very similar to what you show in your photo.  Ours are 
acid-free and wrapped in a white cover.  There are six sizes, each one 
twice as big as the next which allows our specimen drawers to be 
completely filled with any combination of trays. Below are a couple of 
shots of the six trays, one showing just the trays, the second shot 
showing the trays lined with 1/4" ethafoam which is how we use them.

Our supplier is:

Cornell Container, Inc

3000 Dundee Road, Suite 417

Northbrook, IL  60062

Phone: (847) 498-6150

Fax:  (847( 498-6168

Best,

Bill
