Phase Box - Regular

1. Acme's quality and workmanship go into every Phase Box.

2. Phase Boxes are constructed from customer supplied dimensions. It is not necessary to send your volumes to the bindery.

   Note: There is a handling charge per phase box for the bindery to measure your volumes.

3. Phase Boxes are made to the exact dimensions that are recorded on the binding slip. Please be sure to allow for the swell at the spine of some volumes and the misshapen condition of others. Although a phase box should not be too large for the volume it will house, it should never be too small.

   Please ask for information about Acme's Phase Box Measuring Device.

4. Phase Boxes are constructed of gray (exterior)/white (interior) acid-free barrier board (minimum pH 8.5). Closures are made with strong nylon ties, polyethylene buttons, and brass rivets.

   Note: Tan Lignin Free (TLF) barrier board is available at an additional charge. Please specify "TLF" on the binding slip to select this option.

5. Standard lettering arrangement is used on the spine according to the height of the volume.

   Matched lettering to a sample volume or a photocopy of the spine of a previously bound volume is available. Be sure to show the bottom of the volume in the photocopy so the bindery will have a reference point for locating the lettering on the spine, or indicate the desired level on your ABLE item.

6. Any volume up to 31 inches in height or width can have a "Phase Box - Regular" constructed to house it.

7. Binding slips must be filled out by the library. E.g.,

   PRINTER'S INK
   
   __
   
   1892-1893

   Please use "Phase Box Binding Slips" and indicate "017" for the binding class. Note: Be sure to include the Height, Width, and Thickness measurements in the space provided on the binding slip.

   Round all measurements up to the nearest 1/8 inch. Please use inches and 1/8's only--do not use 1/16's or centimeters.

8. A cover color is not required.

9. All extra work will be invoiced at our regular charges.

   Note: The "Phase Box - Regular" binding class is intended for volumes that are too fragile, too unusual or too valuable to be library bound. Phase Boxes provide protection for a volume when it is not being used. They provide protection from the environment (e.g., dust and dirt), and from loss.

   • This class is ideal for housing bound music scores and cloth covered parts together in one protective enclosure, or for housing other objects such as scrolls, diskettes, prints, or other valuable objects.
   • Phase Box - Regular is an economical and attractive protective enclosure.
