what is the material of the bag? Is it acid free?

I don't know what it's made of. It's got some cloth like qualities, and it is not plastic in any way, so there is no acid. My daughters dress and veil has been stored in it for almost 4 months (the wedding has been rescheduled to July due to military deployment) an is in perfect shape. No discoloring or unusual odors.

Negative. I believe it is foam inside. The bag has a consistent fill throughout the bag. However, I have never opened the bag and actually looked inside.

The material is plastic. I went to their website to find out if it is BPA free. It states that it is BPA free.

I believe the bag is air tight, but not airless. Also I've never noticed them go stale at all from being in the open air for months.

Yes this is Acid free. It should work with scrap books. However it may bleed.

Actually we do not know. On the bag it has chemical components: Nitrogen 4%, Phosphate 12%, and Calcium 12% but not where these components were from. I can not find the answer from the company site.

I do not see anything on the label that indicates what the bags are made out of since they are not used for food. Many food bags now state that they are BPA free but I am unaware of any concerns with pvc. You can contact the manufacturer at http://nancysilver.com. The label claims that this is the same technology used by NASA, The Guggenheim Museum and jewelry manufactures worldwide and they have worked for me!

It's a lighter weight canvas type of material. I quite like the bag. Perfect for stuffing a bunch of things into for the beach.

The packaging says, "Archival." I wasn't sure if that meant acid-free or not, so I googled it. :) Google defines "archival" as - "A non-technical term which suggests that a substance is permanent, durable, and chemically stable. There is no guarantee that is the case. It is safer to look for acid free and lignin free when purchasing scrapbooking components." I don't know if you are looking to use the labels for scrapbooking or not. I use mine on the back of storage containers to hold information about the contents of the containers. Hope this information is helpful!

I don't have a label to be sure, but it feels like rubber to me. You can push it in with your hand so it is pliable. It holds it shape.The handle looks like hard black tubing covered with red mesh like covering. The bag is lined with some light weight material that also covers the bottom.

Lock&Lock customer service rep said the bag and everything else they sell are BPA/lead free and non-toxic.

It's not a real hard plastic but not like a sandwich bag! It won't bend easily and it's well worth it! I'm definitely not disappointed!

I have looked all over the packaging and it doesn't say they are acid free, so I am not sure.

Not sure but, I do NOT like the bag at all. It has a horrible odor that I can not get rid of. I would not recommend it!

Bag seems to be a nylon mesh type material. Legs are metal. Has held up well for me after a couple years, carrying lots of weight.

The material is, but the bag itself has holes that water can get through. They are the silver circles on the picture.

The bag is made from a fine nylon (or similar) mesh. Much, much finer than a window screen. Hope this helps.
