Review on Sheets Linen Ladys Archival Tissue by Jessica Lewis

The Crepe Scavenger Hunt

We all take for granted that storing items made of wood, cardboard, vinyl or plastic is a surefire way to protect our valuables. The truth is that all of these methods can yellow and ruin delicate fabrics and other collectibles. Even in dry climates, items can rot as they dry. I'm certainly no expert on acid-free paper, but even a fool will understand in minutes that you need unbuffered, acid-free and lignin-free paper. The lack of a buffer means no chemicals are added to achieve a neutral PH balance. Although lignin is acid-free, it liberates acids as paper decomposes. Your cheaper, old tissue paper is a ticking time bomb if it has lignin in it. Linen Lady's Acid Free Paper is thin like other acid free tissue papers, so doubles or triples sheets when storing. The paper tears easily, but its brilliant whiteness makes any preservation more elegant. Colored paper can always soil your stuff. Whether you're boxing an item or hanging a rarely-worn garment in a bag, you need to protect it with acid-free paper. Replace your old acid-free paper before it's too late and store your items with desiccants (outside the paper) whenever possible. My only regret is that I didn't see the 50 sheet pack before ordering.

Pros
  • Acid and lignin free; PH neutral and unbuffered - BRIGHT WHITE. This is good stuff.
Cons
  • Some Bugs
