Labels. Stickers. That “well-intentioned” tape repair from 1987. Adhesives: creating conservation nightmares since forever. Enter the humble hero > the Crepe Eraser.
✨ Localised ✨ Low cost ✨ No heat
✨ No solvents ✨ No drama
Just you, the surface, and the deeply satisfying lift of adhesive residue making its quiet exit.

Our new XL board may have become a temporary king-size bed… perfect for when you need a quick lie down after all that intense action. We don’t usually encourage sleeping on the job, but, when you’re surrounded by glorious 2450 x 1800mm sheets of acid-free board, it’s hard not to admire the mattress potential.

The good news? We’re not actually napping we’re just very, very busy turning these jumbo sheets into even bigger boxes. Bigger boards = bigger .

Haven’t tried www.boxsite.co.uk yet? Go on. Design your ideal or and let us do the heavy lifting (we promise to stay awake). 😴📦

Book care and storage

Volumes of issues in book care? bound to be.
Storage of books can be tricky, they are made from a number of materials, in an infinite number of sizes, and worst of all - people want to actually look at them, perhaps not such a surprise, but it makes things a little more challenging. (Warning; may contain text that is disturbing for librarians)
