    Photographic Plates

    Protect Your Legacy: Secure Photographic Plate Storage.

    Photographic Plates require specialized storage within a robust warehouse environment to ensure optimal preservation and longevity. A well-managed warehouse provides a stable, secure, and protected space, maximizing the lifespan of these delicate materials. Proper storage begins with careful unpacking and arranging plates within sturdy, individual boxes – ideally utilizing archival-grade cardboard and padding to prevent damage from handling or stacking. Dedicated shelving units, arranged with ample space between each shelf level, are essential. Consistent lighting should be minimized, and storage areas should be kept clean and dust-free. Regular inspections of the storage area are crucial, allowing for the identification and correction of any potential issues, such as displaced plates or accumulation of debris. A warehouse’s inherent structural integrity and secure access offer a significant advantage, safeguarding against unauthorized access and potential environmental fluctuations. Furthermore, the organized nature of warehouse storage facilitates efficient inventory management and traceability, providing a clear audit trail for these valuable assets. Ultimately, a thoughtfully designed warehouse provides a secure and stable environment, supporting the long-term preservation of photographic plates.

    Space Requirements

    • Storage Size/Dimensions: Minimum 200 square feet, or a 10ft x 20ft area. Height clearance: 10 feet. Allow for a 4ft aisle width for access.

    • Storage Conditions: Dry storage is required. The area must be well-ventilated to prevent dust accumulation. Avoid direct sunlight exposure. Storage should be on a level surface.

    • Special Handling: Photographic plates are considered fragile items. Each plate must be individually wrapped in acid-free paper and padded with bubble wrap for protection. Consider using cardboard dividers between plates within a storage area. Handle plates with gloves to prevent oils from hands transferring to the surface.

    • Stacking/Shelving: Shelving units with adjustable shelves are recommended. Shelves should be spaced no more than 12 inches apart to accommodate plate sizes. Pallet storage is acceptable, but each pallet should be covered with a protective material like a tarp.

    • Access Requirements: A loading dock with a 12ft wide bay door is needed. The door width should be at least 8 feet to allow for easy access. A minimum of 10ft of clearance space is required at the loading dock for truck maneuvering. Ensure the floor is clean and dry to prevent damage to the plates.
