Photos are treasures that hold cherished memories. You likely have hundreds or even thousands of photos that you want to preserve for future generations. To keep the images safe, you need photo albums or boxes, which you can easily find at affordable prices on eBay, with the right features.

Are the boxes archival quality?

If you treasure your pictures and you want them to remain safe for years, then you should look for archival quality units. These are specifically designed to keep dirt, dust, and light out.

Most box manufacturers are aware of this issue and provide this information. Always look for the acid-free label before buying your album storage box.

Is there a place to put a label on the box?

Storing your photos is the first step in the organisational process. If you want easy access to your photos, then you'll need a labeling system. Most photo storage box manufacturers have started including labels on the fronts of their boxes. These labels allow you to note which photos are stored in the container quickly. If you plan to use these boxes for years, then look for a metal label holder that allows you to swap labels regularly.

Size of the photo box or album

You should find an affordable photo album or box for sale that can shop your pictures comfortably. You don't want any photos getting bent or folded when they are in storage. Read the descriptions carefully and pay attention to the size. See the manufacturer site for details.

What are photo albums and boxes made from?
