where to buy: boxes for 4R photos

reny · 21st February 2004

i want to store my photos in a box. hoping to find something like muji's plastic translucent box with a lead and would fit 4R sizes photos nicely. it would be really ideal cos i can index them and search for a particular photo like i'm searching for a namecard.

any chance of a ready made one on sale? or do i have to resort making my own box?

Have you tried some supermarkets? Carrefour? Just an idea.

there's a shop at tao payoh that sells special quality paper boxes. But not sure got 4r size or not. Its along the row of shop behind the library.

Lock & Lock is a brand of air tight boxes, not specifically for photos, for quite a while I was keeping cameras in them (with silica gel). Cold Storage sells them, translucent plastic (white) with blue sealing strip, four built-in clips to hold the container air tight.

thanks folks. will check it out. the toa payoh shop sounds interesting... esp when i stay in tpy and don't really have an idea about that.

cold storage is one place i won't think of looking for a photo box. heh.

so till now there's no special boxes specially for photos?

Try "Print" in Citilink. They have a lot of quality boxes and I think there are some for 4R photos. But don't think it is an airtight box if that what you looking for. Note that they are a bit Exp though
