Inside those document cases



I'm reluctant to post such a simple question, but I'm sure someone knows how
to solve this problem.

We have a lot of soft unbound loose papers and soft-cover publications in
half-filled document cases ... they are sliding down to the bottom of the
box and becoming badly curved and bent.  Some of them are permanently
deformed.  What is the best way to brace these things while the box is
slowly filling up?  Do you use boxes within boxes?  Large quantities of
tissue?  Bubble wrap?  Ethafoam bricks?

I've searched through all of our catalogs from preservation suppliers and
don't find this problem addressed.  Please enlighten me.  Thanks --
