Thread: Paper safes

    Re: Paper safes

    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

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

    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.
