Archival Packaging
The long-term preservation of analog film material doesn’t start with restoration or digitization — it begins with proper protection. Archival packaging is essential to safeguard films from chemical degradation, physical damage, and environmental influences.
Original containers made of plastic or acidic cardboard often provide insufficient protection and can even accelerate material decay. We offer professional re-housing of film and archival materials in certified, archival-grade storage systems. For this, we rely on products from specialized manufacturers such as KLUG-CONSERVATION and Hans Schröder GmbH, ensuring safe storage under conservation conditions.
Our re-housing services include:
- Replacement of old containers with archival-quality storage systems
- Labeling according to archival standards (e.g., barcode, signature)
- Documentation of the originals’ condition
Proper re-housing protects not only the material itself but also its valuable content — while creating order, clarity, and security within your archive or storage facility.
