Prior to the 1980’s,one sheet movie posters that were sent to theaters for movie release advertising were folded. It is considered best storage practice to keep these movie posters folded when archiving them. We stock a standard corrugated cardboard storage box that stores the posters vertically and an acid-free storage box with a drop-front that stores the posters flat.

Archival Folded One Sheet Poster Storage Box
Archival Blue E-Flute Corrugated Cardboard 11-1/2 x 15 x 3”
X1115EFBL
The blue- E-flute corrugated cardboard that these boxes are made from is acid-free; lignin-free and buffered with 3% calcium carbonate. Not only will this material trap acid that is in the posters, but the buffering agent keeps acids from migrating into the posters from the atmosphere.
This material strength exceeds 200-lb-test, and the corners are metal edged for stacking strength. The drop-front makes it easy to remove posters from the box. These boxes are MUSEUM-GRADE ARCHIVAL approved by the Library of Congress for long term archival storage.
