Archipress Vacuum Packing Machine and Polyester Vacuum Pouches

ArchiPress PROTECTION

ArchiPress now gives the archivist a new weapon in the struggle to resist the persistent decay caused by time, pests and disasters. The strong airtight and watertight pouches give protection against acidity, atmospheric pollution, floods, fire extinguishers, damp, mould, mildew, insects, vermin, careless handling and damage in transit.

ArchiPress SPACE SAVING

The special vacuum sealed pouches protect their contents against unauthorised access to security documents. The opening of pouches cannot go unnoticed and requires the use of an ArchiPress machine to re-seal them. The pouches can also be printed with corporate logo's, security or data retrieval information.

ArchiPress SECURITY

Double your floor space rent free.
Compared to conventional envelope storage, vacuum storage has the advantage of saving between 40 to 50% of shelf space for the same volume of documents and could effectively double the capacity of an archive's shelving without the addition of a single extra shelf.

ArchiPress MONEY SAVING

Because space costs money, especially in central city locations, compressing your archive makes sound economic sense and since each ArchiPress pouch is hermetically sealed, less demands are placed on air conditioning systems within the archive storage area.

ARCHIPRESS

TRANSPARENT POLYESTER VACUUM POUCHES

For use with Archipress 150, 200, 300

ArchiPress vacuum pouches are made from a five layer co-extrusion of 92 micron, plasticiser free, pure polyester, pure polyethylene and a special gas barrier layer. The impermeability of the pouch inner layer to oxygen, nitrogen and water ensures safe and strong long term storage. The vacuum storage period depends on the contents of the pouches and tests indicate the vacuum will be maintained in excess of 10 to 25 years. The Dutch Institute for Scientific Research recommends a vacuum pressure of 100 mbar for sealing. The Standard C7 ArchiPress Pouches are supplied with the ArchiPress logo printed on one side of the pouch. Customers can have their own information or company logo printed on the pouches by request, minimum order 25,000.
