Is this box made of polypropylene? Can photos and mementos be safely stored in it?

I can't comment on the material it is made of, but the top does not stay on tight. It is not a decent storage container for anything requiring a top or to be airtight.

This container, and most other IRIS containers, are made with paper/photo-safe plastic. They are BPA free, lignin free, PVC free, and Recycle #5 to achieve the highest quality plastic storage containers.

It's plastic on the outside, don't know what is inside--could be cardboard.

Yes, they are polyvinyl, I use for storing silver jewelry, but they are a little stiff.I hope that answer your question.Carmen

It appears that it is metal, but it's sealed in the box and I don't want to open it to ruin the package. Any other questions?

I'm not sure exactly what the enclosure is made of but its not plastic. It's very durable, I've dropped it on hardwood floors a few times and it's still working fine. And very lightweight and small so its easily portable. Hope that helps. I would buy again. The light scribe works burns fast. I'm very happy with the product.

Since they're not intended for archival purposes, I would not store valuable posters in them, nor any poster for a long period of time. If either of those conditions applies, look for bags at art supply sources.

It's heavy cardboard covered in an attractive vinyl. It's very sturdy. I have other boxes stacked on top of it. It's also very pretty.

Hi Jackie, our containers are made of Polypropylene and they are also BPA free so it is perfectly safe for you to store food inside them. They are made in South Korea.

Don't know if the bags are polyvinyl. However, these bags are transparent, tough and sealable ( with zip lock). I am not aware of any plastic materials that react to silver. If concern, you may consider including a piece of anti-tarnish cloth in the bag. Overall, from a physical standing, these bags would be good for your storage needs.

It's one box made of very durable plastic- has many sections inside... Slide in partitions allow you to create how big your sections ars... Very nice container.

Don't know about archive safe, but we've used this for a year now and not had a problem with pictures sticking.

I am skeptical that they are. If you search for "archival photo storage", those boxes cost @ $28. If these were archival they would say it.

It's made if press wood. I've bought two of them and they look good as well as hold tons of our DVDs. Can't beat it for the price.

Plastic inherently has damaging chemicals. "Archival" merely means there are less. Would I put 150 yr old photos in these? No. Would I store general family photos with the expectation of them staying in the sleeves for 20-40 yrs? I think you are safe. I have only had mine for a year and in 60-80 degree temps, no extremes.

I'm not sure what it is made of- but it could be cardboard. It's pre folded and there is a coating on it.

the packages all state that they are archival, photo safe, acid, lignin and P VC free. I hope this is helpful.

It's a thicker cardboard like substance. I haven't put anything too heavy it in. Clothes, winter coat, shoes. It's more like a toy box than hope chest....
