News Storage Kits Newsprint, by its very nature, is a poor candidate for long term preservation; it is manufactured at the lowest possible cost and contains acid, lignin and other impurities that do not bode well for long life. However, you can extend the life of the newsprint by properly storing it under optimal conditions. Start by measuring the length and width of you newspapers or magazines and order the appropriate kits. Place the materials in the bags and then organize into the archival boxes. Do not βstressβ newspapers by packing them tightlyβ¦ pack them loosely. Kits include: one DropFront Box, 10 Poly bags, and one Re-Usable Desiccant canister. You choose between the Metal canister which is re-activated in a vented oven and the Plastic canister which is restored in a microwave oven. NOTE: If the newspaper or magazine is of important historical or personal value, consider contacting a paper conservator who can neutralize some of the harmful impurities prior to storage.

Simply include one of these canisters with your documents or artifacts and water vapor is contained within the desiccant canister to maintain a safe relative humidity.
