Most people do not have space to display every photo they have taken, so photo storage options are pretty important. Some storage solutions, such as albums and scrapbooks, are time consuming and not particularly convenient, though. Photography storage boxes, on the other hand, take no time to use and can accommodate virtually any sized photos.

Varieties of photo storage boxes

There is more than one type of box available for photo storage. In fact, there are several kinds of boxes from which to choose. The available varieties are intended for specific types of photos or to provide a specific type of storage. Knowing which type of photo storage boxes are the best is a matter what you need out of your storage.

Common varieties of photography storage boxes include:

• Archival storage boxes – These boxes are particularly durable in construction, and as a means of photo storage, they are ideal for long-term safekeeping. Some boxes include design features, such as metal edges, that increase durability. In addition to providing a protective physical barrier, archival storage boxes often also provide beneficial environmental conditions too. The securely fitting lids and lining materials act as buffers against the introduction of pollutants, light and other potentially damaging factors.

• Acid free storage boxes – Materials used in construction of acid free photo storage boxes are specifically selected for the image friendly environment they create. These boxes are particularly desirable for photo storage in that they contain no chemicals that could contribute to deterioration of precious photos over time.

Sizing of photo storage options

A particularly convenient feature of these boxes is the variety of sizes in which they are offered. Whether you need storage for smaller images, such as 3x5 photos, mid-sized images, such as 13x19 photos or something even larger, there are boxes to accommodate any size photograph.

When choosing a box size, consider whether the pictures you wish to store will include additional features, a matboard or foamcore mount board, for instance. Either of these will increase the dimensions of your photo. A 13x19 photo that is mounted and includes 2 inch wide matting will need wider storage space than that same photo on its own. Be sure to consider the additional width of the matting and foamcore mount board to ensure the box can actually accommodate your photos. Storage works best under roomy conditions, so don’t try to force a photo into a space that is less than ideal.
