Question: What does “buffered” refer to when talking about archival storage supplies?

Answer: Buffered materials have an alkaline substance – usually calcium carbonate – added to the material to counteract acids that may form in the storage material.

Comes with metal-reinforced corners for stacking strength. Product Code: XPHOTO1215  https://www.bagsunlimited.com/product/6550/high-capacity-photo-box-holds-1700-photos
