Hi folks, I've been using low density closed cell polyethylene foam in compartmentalized craft storage boxes for my "inventory".
The foam is available in sheets and rolls of various thickness and density with excellent long term stability, excellent shock protection... Try a search for "conservation polyethylene". Quoting from one site: "Polyethylene Foam: Protection of high value objects requires a material that is lint-free, non-abrasive, does not adsorb moisture, has good thermal insulating properties and is chemically inert. Polyethylene foam does all this and much more." My supplier for sheets: https://www.foambymail.com/ Foam padded tubes go into Artbin Super Satchel storage boxes of various sizes. The boxes are made from acid-free polypropylene plastic. I buy them on sale from JoAnne Fabrics... reasonably priced at 40% to 50% off list and sales are frequent. These boxes stack nicely! Not super strong, but sufficient for this use! >From one vendors discussion of available materials for conservation envelopes: >"Finally there are Polypropylene (PP). This material is considered archival >safe as it is chemically stable and as close to PH neutral as technical >possible with plastic and does not contain any plasticizers."
