Archival Clamshell Boxes

A clamshell box is made in one piece. The lid is hinged along the spine and closes over the tray, so the box opens like a book and the spine lies flat, letting you lift the contents out without sliding them past a wall. That makes it the usual choice for prints, documents, pamphlets and anything else that should be stored flat.

The range runs from self-assembly flat-packed boxes in 1300 micron boxboard or 1.7 mm fluted board, in sizes from A6 to A3, to Clamshell Boxes for Flat Document Storage, metal-edged in our own warehouse, and black cloth-covered Solander print boxes made to order (please ask for a quote). For a box with a separate lid, see Two-Part Tray & Lid Boxes.
