This is a great idea for storing large quantities of photographs as the strong card box takes upto 700 6x4 photos. No sticking or slipping in involved, simple lift the lid, pop in the photographs and shut the box. If you want to be organised, then there are eight index cards that can be written on and slotted between the photographs, or you can simply leave them out and take pot luck. The box is covered in thick brown paper and then has a picture of a blue Starfish on the lid and measures approximately 8.5 x 6.5 x 4.5 inches overall. There are other colours available on the brwon background and they will stack on a shelf to make a really impressive storage system.
