A set of containers, to preserve or to expose, according your exigences and preferences, insects and every other article (fossils, shells, minerals, etc.). And in particular:
- transparent boxes of cellophane of various measures, also with the bottom in polystyrene (to pin your specimen with the classic entomological pin).
- transparent boxes of plexiglas of different measures. Like all other containers, the boxes of plexiglas can be used, besides that for insects, also to contain or to fix minerals, fossils, corals, shells and other, with glue or the more practical clay that we provide you.
- open white folding cardbords in which preserve minerals, fossils or shells to better order and to catalogue the pieces of your collection.

- display boxes of various kinds of glass and wooden where you'll be able to pin and to move at pleasure, the insects or other animals. You can order them empty, for your collection, or together the chosen specimen from our catalogues. They are available in the following 3 kinds, everyone of 3 different measures: painted display boxes, paper-leather covered display boxes, entomological display boxes.
The first boxes have the openable bottom (not airtight), covered with polystyrene in white paper (or squared, to choice, to align better the small specimen); the second boxes have the openable bottom (not airtight), covered with polyurethane in white paper and an outer cover in paper-leather. We specify that these two kinds of frames aren't suitable, for resistance and kind of closing, to contain heavy or voluminous articles, like shells, fossils or minerals. These bulletin boards are manufactured only on order. At our discretion the request may not be accepted depending on work commitments. Handicraft: it can slight imperfections (cracks or inaccuracies geometric).
With regard to entomological display boxes, these are the frames used essentially by museums and collectors. In dark or clear ramin wood (the latter only on order), they are airtight covered with plastozote, preferred to polystyrene or polyurethane because it resists at conserving substances (paradichlorinebenzol melts the polystyrene!). In this case the measures are standard. These boxes can also be used to conserve shells, fossils or minerals of small and middle dimensions.
Moreover we have also some useful articles for breeding: plastic terrarium-acquarium (fauna-boxes), or in glass, with cover and air grating, materials to use like substratum to can breed your small animals, like insects, spiders, reptiles, snails, or millepedes.
