********************************************************************** WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL Please refer to the disclaimer beneath this message ********************************************************************** Dear Nigel et al, I can confirm this. Conservation by Design sell 'Corrosion Intercept Replacement' CD Inserts @ 90p each for orders of between 250 and 500. These are designed to replace the paper inserts found in ordinary jewel cases (ie. they act as a buffer between the disk and the plastic case). They also sell Archival Storage Boxes for CDs/DVDs. Each box holds 30 disks, and they cost approx £9.00 each.
