Use Corrugated Dividers & Spacers.  We got ours recently from Gaylord (about
$15 for 5) but I've seen them other places, I think.  Depending on the size,
they fit Hollinger boxes or record cartons.  They can be refolded as
necessary, and reused.

| 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 --
