LW1383 - The Art of the Container

A project needs an enclosure. For years I've tried making these myself, all in custom designs. I realized, how, that there is a whole industry about boxes and various enclosures that we can use without having to make them ourselves. I started doing some research on Amazon.com and so far I've come up with a couple dozen different boxes that could be used to house a collection of prints. Not just paper and heavy board, but also bamboo, pine, myrtle wood, acacia wood, tin boxes. From 4x6 to 9x12 and some that could be very interesting for panorama projects that are 4x9" and even narrower.
