Sometimes a standard archival box just won’t cut it.
Many museum collections include objects that are fragile, damaged, unusually shaped, or need to be handled in very specific ways. In other cases, limited storage space requires solutions that protect objects while making the most of what you have. This is where custom storage becomes essential.
Custom boxes and mounts are designed with the specific object in mind–its materials, condition, and vulnerabilities. That might mean tux boxes for fragile pamphlets and booklets, cushioned compartments for glass artifacts, or a custom support that allows a historic hat to rest safely without strain. Using archival materials like Ethafoam and Volara, these solutions reduce movement, prevent damage, and support long-term preservation.
Custom storage helps ensure that objects remain stable and accessible for many years to come. If you’re caring for items that don’t fit neatly into standard boxes, Kilberg Archival Services can help!
