RE: Doin' dishes



Uline makes custom-sized foamies ... and U-Haul has dishpaks ... but for softer non-abrasive slip-in packing ... i would consider using the bags that silver plates come in (i.e. Tiffany or Asprey) ...
 
however ... i am not sure if any of the above are archival ...

Subject: Doin' dishes

Hi all, and please excuse the cross-posting:
 
Our museum's acquired the archive of a former major porcelain manufacturer, and we are in the process of cataloguing and moving the collection to our building.
 
This includes some 1000+ of flat plates, and we need some way to pack them for local, one-way transport while keeping the number identification tags which are associated with them from becoming separated. 
 
Does anyone have any suggestions?  Are there any kind of archival-quality, non-abrasiove dish 'envelopes' or separators available commercially that can be used to contain and separate the plates so they can travel vertically, while accommodating the tags?   I don't have the time or resources to create our own dividers from scratch.
 
Thank you for any advice or info,
 
batja
