Subject: [Origami] Archival box
 
I found this type of box. Plastic! Please forgive me if I&rsquo;m asking a 
heresy but wouldn&rsquo;t accomplish the same purpose, which is to save models 
from dust? They should be acid-free, right? Or not? They seem sturdier than 
acid-free cardboard boxes. 
 


Plasticizers are typically added to make rigid PVC flexible. These can leave or 
outgas from PVC over time. I would not consider it archival if that is a real 
consideration. It may be fine for protecting from dust.


Thanks,

Doug
