Do you love to take pictures? Have you gone defiantly into the digital age, still getting your photos printed as opposed to just letting them sit on your computer, sentenced to remain a bundle of pixels for their lifetime? Then you know how quickly pictures can stack up, and perhaps have already found yourself in the strange situation of spending more money than you can afford on photo albums. Having a lot of pictures can be overwhelming, but there is a solution and it doesn’t involve burning your precious photos or tossing them in the trash. Your problems with too many photos can be solved by using photo boxes.
In contrast to photo albums, which are designed to make viewing of photos easy, photo boxes go for storage. This means they can store a lot more prints than what you can keep in a photo album. Of course, it’s harder to view the pictures then, but you can make use of dividers to organize the pictures in the box. Dividers are really a necessity if you want to have a hope of ever finding anything, as photo storage boxes normally hold thousands of photographs.
What can you expect to find, and how much can you expect to pay, when it comes to photo boxes? Archival photo boxes are really the way to go, because they are made of quality archival board and are acid free. Acid touching your photos will cause them to discolor, which is something you most definitely want to avoid. Archival board is dense, unlike shoeboxes which are flimsy. That means you can stack them and free up some living space previously claimed by all your photos. For a photo box that stores around 1000 4×6 prints, you can pay as little as $5 several times that. Boxes for storing bigger prints are also available, as are fancier boxes like wooden photo boxes and leather photo boxes.
