Storing Post Cards
Post Cards are send in tough cardboard packages but these are not of archival quality. If you intend to keep these post cards stored, please remove from inside the card board package.
Storing All Prints
All Prints are posted inside an archival quality sheet that protects your valuable prints from environmental damage. You can store your prints inside these sheets but make sure that you do not there them inside any card board boxes and neither in un ventilated drawers.
