Hi Everyone ~
Would anyone know if "Century Box" is still in business? They made archival clamshell cases for prints, and 3-ring binder boxes for negatives. They were the best quality that I found in the past. In fact, I just had cause to look up some older negatives, and I discovered the supposedly "archival" binder boxes I have from Light Impressions (remember that nightmare?) all had something growing along the panel supporting the 3-ring mechanism! The Century Box binders are all pristine. Fortunately, all the negs are double sleeved, so no harm done ; )
Trying to track Century down, their last website now seems to be a company that produces cardboard shipping boxes and containers? Maybe they morphed into this? And the VM for the last number I have doesn't make any sense. This doesn't look good, but I thought I'd reach out to all of you before I give up.
So, if I need to find an alternative, what does everyone use for neg binders these days? Archival Methods (founder is a former LI person) make a very expensive, kinda bulky 3-ring binder box that's the closest to what I have now, as well as a slimmer version made from "archival" board. Anyone use either of these, or perhaps something else?
Would appreciate any info about "Century Box" company, or possible proven alternatives. Thank you!
