reels.  Both containers are molded from inert polypropylene and vented to
allow the tape to breathe.  Please see our website www.tuscancorp.com for

Hi Kate,

Here's what I found when I researched the same issue for our institution:



5-inch Reel-to-Reel Tapes
-- University Products -- Archival Suppliers (Item in catalog but not on
Web): Item No. 799-6060. Unbuffered (pH neutral) lignin-free board with a
low-dust surface. Each box holds one reel. List price per item: $4.45.

Also, some library suppliers can sell you a 7-inch box and a device for
centering smaller reels inside the box. I forget which ones, though.

I can't vouch for the quality of the boxes because we ended up not
ordering the item.

Hope this helps.

-- George
