CARMAC® Unbuffered Negative & Print Envelopes are made for storing photographic negatives and prints in an unbuffered enclosure. The envelopes use lignin-free alpha cellulose paper with an approximate pH of 7.0 and have passed the Photographic Activity Test (P.A.T.). 

Product Details

The choice of an unbuffered enclosure is particularly relevant for sensitive photographic materials that should not be stored with an alkaline reserve. These envelopes use alpha cellulose paper with an approximate neutral pH of 7.0 and are lignin-free for photographic storage. Their side and bottom seam construction adds durability to the envelope, while the P.A.T. qualification provides a specific indication of their suitability for photographic materials. Each pack contains 100 envelopes, with style and dimensions selectable on the product page.
