Photo boxes: I need to buy a good 16" x 20" box for presentation and storage of my mounted photographs. Is Adorama's $14 a good deal? It seems the cheapest. I have seen boxes for upwards of $80. Why on earth can they get so expensive? I mean, they're just boxes.

Is black more professional than white?

Should I store prints face to face?

Black carries more pigments, thus blocking out more light from the interior.

Don't store prints face to face, ink will stick.

Those boxes pictured are good, at school we usually just use what the paper came in once it's empty. Put tissue between prints, slightly less chance of scratches.
I leave mine at school, but I've got an old kodak endura paper box with gaffer taped corners and a gaffer tape hinge that's awesome. Hell of a lot easier than those bigass portfolios that I see most art students with. Try to make sure it's acid free, one students color prints ended up with this piss yellow stain on the parts that contacted the cardboard he had them sandwiched in.

Really just use the box it came in.

For long term storage of photos you should make sure that the materials you are storing them in are safe. Some can be damaging to the prints. Acidic, or what have you.
