Why aren’t Creative Memories papers labelled as ‘archival’?
A. Archival is an ambiguous term to describe everything from backup copies of computer files to documents that will remain accessible for an indefinite time in the future. Even if something is labelled “archival,” it does not mean that the product meets photo-safety requirements. Creative Memories defines the quality of our products in clearly definable terms such as, acid-free, lignin-free and buffered. In addition, we describe all products that comply with the ISO 18902-2001 standard as ‘photo-safe’.
