    Hello I'm looking for some acid free boxes to store some artwork in, I have been looking at boxes on the ikea site - the kasset and Strikt series and was wondering if anyone has tested the ph of these? The site doesn't claim they are acid free and I can't find any info elsewhere but was thinking of testing them with a ph testing pen myself.

    Alternatively can anyone else recomend a source for acid-free boxes/cardboard in Ireland (Dublin if possible)?

    Cardboard for storage can have problems - like dampness and size.

    Hi Corkgirl,

    I own a scrapbook supplies website and I should be able to get you some acid free boxes. What size boxes would you need? I'll check it out for you and see what I can find out.
