Paper safes

[Gord Robinson]

If you have the space and you use more than one type of large paper you could look for a Stacking 4 or 5 Drawer Map Plan Flat File Cabinet. They are close to the dimensions of your paper and seem to be available through government surplus sites. Making them light proof if they aren't already may be an issue

There is a light and easy to handle PVC material used to mount prints which is flame retardant, different thicknesses and should exist in black too, can be cut with a Staley knife, and glued together. We used to call it FOREX but that is the brand name...

I believe that the material you are referencing is sintra board and it does come in black.

Aka foamed PVC board.

Hi Gord. I do have stacking metal drawers in my lab, I have thought on how to do this , they are certainly big enough and made of metal

I would think you could make a light-tight box with a lid hinged halfway the fits in the drawer, maybe out of plastic/acrylic.
