Museum-Standard Construction

Our insect drawers are constructed using solid wood or rigid archival board, combined with acid-free liners and high-density Plastazote® foam or Ethafoam. The foam is precisely fitted with no gaps between the foam and the paper-lined walls, preventing specimen movement and ensuring a clean, professional appearance.
