Is this product acid-free to protect photos?

I got them for vintage postcards & old photos and I did do a bit of research on them and the material used IS photo safe, at least that's what they said. Product is of good quality! Hopes this helps.

I'm holding the 4-Pocket packaging in my hand, and the BCW insert says "acid free". Hope that helps! -Chris

Im not exactly sure, i think they are but, if you're purchasing these for 4x6 photos they wont fit.

The answer is yes if the are labeled "Acid Free No PVC." I have them and I am using them for archival storage of 60+ year old slides. I keep the sheets in an air tight plastic container which is also acid free and no PVCs.

Nope sorry, but just know (because I didn't) these are not an acid free, light fast, archival medium. They will fade and change with time.

I'm not sure if it is acid free, but I use it to stretch my watercolor paper and it works great.

I don't think the box is designed to protect from the elements, your camera itself should be safe in the elements with or without the box. the box is designed to protect your camera from thieves.

Yes it should be fine as long as they are covered when you take your pictures so no cross contamination occurs.

Hi Kathryn, since there is no mention in the product information about the pages being acid free, I think you have to assume that they are not. That would surely be a great selling point and if they could use that as a promotion for the product they would. I'm still using mine to hold recipes, not nearly as dear to me as photos would be so I wasn't thinking along the same lines as you when I bought these.Judy

Except for the fact that it's acid free, it is exactly like other tissue paper. If you use tissue for your photos, I guess this would work. I would use a thicker acid free paper, if it was my project.

According to the package they are Acid-Free Ink, No Added Acid; no measurable pH.You do need to protect anything under neath your project as they do bleed through.

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

I don't know about the acid-free thing, but I have been using them for my vacation photos for over 10 years and have not noticed any yellowing. I still use them today and just bought another album last year for our trip to Turkey. I hope I have helped some. So far, I think they they are a pretty good product and I particularly like the large size. H.S. Johnston

I really don't think so, I think it's more like a thin layer cover for the bag. I've been using it on my LV speedy 40 and neverfull for more than a year now, never had a problem with the metal part. But they don't have much metal part on them...the best way to test is spray it on the corner or somewhere people won't see easily and see the result. I don't think there's any acid in the product, so it shouldn't. But like the instruction says, test it first

It will not damage the photos and they will adhere-at least for a while-but this glue is more intended for temporary applications, such as adhering templates to material before/during cuts. I used it to glue paper onto styrofoam insulation, and it didn't stay there for longer than I needed it to.

I bought these as gift for my wife to store photos in. She did a lot of research so I would assume they are acid free. She as a person who loves her photos and scrapbooks and would only use acid free. You can always check with the manufacturer if possible. Hope this helped.

I don't think this product is laboratory-grade. I would not use this on anything but food products. I would also avoid very high or very low pH.

There's a brush that doesn't melt while applying the acid and baking soda that can be mixed with water to neutralize and rinse it off.. that's about all you need.
