What material are these Life Magazine backer boards made from?

These boards are made from 24 point solid bleached sulfate, coated and buffered on one side with 3% calcium carbonate for long-term protection.

Do I need bags to go with these backer boards?

Yes, these backer boards work with Life Magazine Bags or Resealable Life Magazine Bags to provide complete protection for your magazines.

Are these boards buffered and archival-safe?

Yes, these boards are buffered with 3% calcium carbonate to help neutralize acids and provide archival protection for your collectible magazines.

What's the difference between using these with regular vs resealable bags?

Regular bags require sealing with tape, while resealable bags have an adhesive strip for easy opening and closing — both work equally well with these backer boards.

Will these boards fit other magazine sizes besides Life magazines?

These are specifically sized for Life magazines, but check our comparison of bags and boards to find the right size if you're storing other magazine formats.

How thick are these backer boards?

These are 24 point boards, which provides sturdy support without being too thick for storage in boxes or shelves.

Do these boards help prevent magazine damage?

Yes, the rigid backing prevents bending and creasing while the buffered coating helps neutralize acids that can cause deterioration.

Can I use these boards for storing vintage Life magazines?

Absolutely! These boards are designed specifically for protecting collectible magazines including vintage Life magazines from the mid-20th century.

Are these boards precision cut or do I need to trim them?

These boards are precision cut to Life magazine size, so no trimming is needed — they're ready to use right out of the package.

How should I insert the backer board with my magazine?

Place the backer board behind your magazine, then slide both into the protective bag with the board providing rigid support to the back cover.

Will these boards yellow or deteriorate over time?

No, the buffered coating with calcium carbonate helps prevent yellowing and deterioration that can occur with unbuffered materials.

Can I use these for magazines that aren't Life magazine size?

These are specifically cut for Life magazine dimensions, so they may not fit other magazine sizes properly — check our sizing guide for other magazine formats.
