How to do it right
May 26th, 2007 by Randy
If you have looked into having your wedding gown preserved, you have probably already come across some of the methods of storage in common use. Plastic bags, vacuum-packing, acid-free boxes…
All of these methods have been around for years and tested by many preservation specialists. After seeing results of long-term storage in all of these methods, and more, the safest for your dress is the acid-free box.
Be on the look out because often a manufacture will make a box acid-free by “buffering” it so that it is now alkaline. This is just simply not good enough for your gown, which can be damaged in an alkaline environment as well as an acidic. Not only should your preservation box be acid-free the box must also be pH-neutral.

Our wedding gown chest has a heavy laminated coating that is acid free. There is really no way that the laminate could deteriorate to expose any board that could damage the gown. That we’ll guarantee.

Is the preservation box made up of acid free-board or just with acid free coating?
