Application: This box is perfect for storage of prints, photos, art and similar mounted or unmounted documents that are best stored flat. This style of box is also well-suited for digital prints musical scores, pamphlets, letters and newspapers.

 Features: Metal-edged drop-front boxes consist of a removable top and a bottom with a hinged 'drop front' panel at the long side. This feature 'opens' the bottom section so contents can be inserted, removed or examined safely, without bending or flexing the contents in any way. The risk of dog-earing is minimized.

 Our boxes are manufactured from heavyweight ArchivalGrade™ boxboard. Metal edge clamps are corrosion treated in black polyester coating with a wax-free polyester finish on the blind side. These clamps provide rigidity and high stacking strength.
Ordering Information: Price codes A,B,C apply to quantity breaks as shown. All metal edged box category orders are combined in cart and recalculated at checkout for lowest pricing level.
