Boxes
The best example for the perfect packaging in nature is the egg. The quality of protection an egg provides for its content, mechanically as well as from any atmospheric influences, is almost impossible to replicate. The statics of an egg is legendary and has inspired many applications within bionics, e.g. a primary example being in building construction. Just like in the case of an egg, high demands are placed on packaging used for preservation purposes. It must protect the valuable cultural artefact from any external influences and compensate for climatic fluctuations, while remaining emission-free and hygroscopic.
Clamshell boxes
A clamshell box works much like a book. Children in all cultures learn that the contents of a book can be accessed by opening its covers. This may well be the reason for the popularity of clamshell boxes, which are the most commonly used form of packaging in conservation. Form truly follows function here and confirms the statement by the famous architect Louis Sullivan: “It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of all things physical and metaphysical, of all things human, and all things super-human, of all true manifestations of the head, of the heart, of the soul, that the life is recognizable in its expression, that form ever follows function.”» to the product group

Effective protection of many kinds of cultural artefacts can be achieved with economical and material-saving wraparound boxes.» to the product group

Slipcases, shelf files
Slipcases provide five-sided protection, generally leaving open the spine of the book facing the observer. Hence, most parts of the book are protected from dust, light and other influences. A special form of the slipcase is the book shoe, which is open on two sides (at the spine and top of the book). Alone or in combination with a slipcase, this serves to protect books from direct contact to neighbouring books. The advantage of a slipcase with shelf file is that the slipcase can remain in the shelf as a placeholder when the shelf file is removed. This prevents alternative occupation of the free space or adjoining objects from falling over. Slipcases with shelf file in combination with standing aids are excellent when gradually filling a shelf e.g. with periodicals, magazines etc. Shelf files are often used as economical, order-creating units. A shelf file in combination with a standing aid is great when gradually filling a shelf e.g. with periodicals, magazines etc.» to the product group
