[QUOTE="research, post: 9464799, member: 22667"]Thank you! Yes, the reason I have used plastic in the past is because I store my items in a climate controlled storage facility that does have pipes for a sprinkler system. Water damage from that does concern me a lot. Also, I have never been able to find museum grade archival cardboard boxes large enough or my items. The plastic bins actually aren't even as large as I'd like. Can I ask if you have any resources explaining the difference between museum grade and commercial grade polypropylene? I didn't realize there were different kinds and cannot find any information that says that. Your link above to the CCI lists commercial polypropylene boxes as an archival solution. They do not reference a specific "museum" grade.[/QUOTE]
