Re: [meteorite-list] Clear plastic display boxes / try a membrane box
Hello Martin and R N Hartman Sports Memorabilia compaines like Carney Plastics Inc http://commerce.idmi.net/ecommerce/catalog.asp?CID=123key=url=CI=427 Sell very large, clear plastic cases up to the size to display basketball, football size item I think they also have large wall hanging cases 30x30 or larger with shelfs. But there many others on the net, I like there's cause they have a mirro on the bottom or you can get them in black. Any case just follow the link ot type in Sports memorabilia cases and you will see some cool display cases. dave myers - Original Message From: R N Hartman rhartma...@earthlink.net To: martin goff msgmeteori...@googlemail.com; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Tue, August 31, 2010 7:10:19 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Clear plastic display boxes / try a membrane box Hello Martin, Saw your inquiry and I don't know how large your slices are but you might be interested in checking out some of our larger size membrane boxes. Box sizes with O.D. up to 150 x 300 mm for thin slices and 250 x 200 x 200 mm which will handle an iron individual up to 3371 g. although I did have a roundish 12 pound Canyon Diablo iron in one until we had an earthquake and it fell off the top shelf of a bookcase onto the floor. For slices, we list recommended max. sizes for objects inside the box, but you can push that number if your specimen is for display and not a fragile object for transportation, which need the shock absorbing engineering of the stretched membrane. The clear membrane suspends the specimen inside the box and you can look at it from both front and back at the same time.

No one seems to have any answers though regards where to get them from. I approached the manufacturers of the boxes i provided links to in my previous post and unfortunately they would need a minimum order of 100,000 units to make a larger box. Even though it seems quite a few people would be interested, not enough to place an order that size!! Oh well back to the drawing board and my larger iron slices will just have to stay languishing in their cozy dessicated boxes until i find a suitable solution!

Re: [meteorite-list] Clear plastic display boxes / try a membrane box
Hi Dave, Thanks for that, great looking cases! But i need them for slices say 15cm in diameter but not too deep. Ideally 15cm by 15/20cm by 5cm deep max. Thanks for the link though.
