Document archive box supply in Kenya

Archive boxes matched to record size and storage conditions

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional records-supply order: twenty lidded boxes with target internal space 330 × 250 × 280 mm for flat A4 folders up to 320 × 240 mm. Buyer confirms record type and preservation requirements. Ordinary corrugated storage must not be advertised as archival merely because it is brown cardboard; long-term housing needs documented material specifications. Exclude a stacking-load rating or destruction of client records.
