Drop-Spine Boxes

The original box design and storage system developed for the Bodleian Library by Christopher Clarkson between 1978-1981. Made from Premier Archival Folding Boxboard which is acid-free and lignin-free a one-piece box with an overlapping lid that folds along the spine - it is self locking and opens like a book. The spine lays flat to allow easy access to contents. The tray has double walls on all sides and two dust flaps, which close against the spine. Secured using tabs and slots for assembly without the need for wire stitching or gluing.
