Cardboard archive boxes – sturdy, durable and acid-free
Professional archiving starts with the material. Our A4 archive boxes are specially designed for long-term storage. Whether you wish to store loose collections of sheets, stacks of files bound with our file clips or the contents of entire folders – these boxes provide the ideal solution. What makes them special is that the cardboard is pH-neutral and acid-free. This prevents the paper from deteriorating (the typical ‘yellowing’) and ensures that your documents remain undamaged even after a long time.
Quality in the details: metal reinforcement for maximum stability
Unlike conventional folding boxes, we use a reinforced construction that can withstand even heavy stacking loads:
- Metal handle ring: Allows for easy removal from the shelf without the box tearing.
- Sturdy metal clips: Ensure a secure connection between the side panels and guarantee long-lasting dimensional stability.
- Custom labelling: Each box comes with a self-adhesive label so you can quickly identify the contents at any time.
Versatility beyond the office
Our archive box is a true all-rounder. As the material is chemically stable, it is ideal for:
- Collections & photos: Reliable protection against light and physical damage.
- Textiles & samples: Ideal storage conditions for fabric samples or historical documents.
- Workshop & crafts: Organisation for plans, drawings or lightweight components.
Easy assembly & spare parts service
To save on shipping costs and save storage space at your premises, we deliver the archive boxes flat-packed (unassembled). Thanks to the precise pre-cut lines, assembly is intuitive: the cardboard is simply folded into shape and secured by hand using the enclosed metal clips.
Special service for in-house manufacturers: Do you manufacture archive boxes yourself? At moog + langenscheidt, you can also purchase fastening clips and Finger Ring Eyelets separately as spare parts or production materials.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is acid-free cardboard so important?
Conventional paper and cardboard often contain acids that migrate into the archive material over the years and destroy it. Our pH-neutral boxes stop this process and are therefore ‘archive-safe’.
How many documents fit into an A4 archive box?
The capacity is optimised for the standard spine width of a large ring binder (approx. 80 mm). By using filing clips, you can reduce the space required for your documents by up to 50% compared to a ring binder.
Do I need tools to assemble the metal clips?
No, the clips are designed so that they can be pressed through the pre-punched holes and bent by hand with minimal effort.
