I like University producst for boxes and tissue. I am trying to figure out the best way to approach my niece about repackaging her gown--last time I was at my sister's I spied a wedding preservation box with big words "DO NOT OPEN" on it, with her gown in it. I cringe that she fell for the whole "heirloom your wedding gown" scam. I don't know if she'll be offended at my suggestion of buying her an acid free box etc... to store the gown properly.
