Time Capsule 6x24 Mr Future Stainless Saver

Question

Q: How many sheets of paper can fit in this capsule? Also can this unit be placed directly in the ground? Also do I need all that other stuff in the bundle to take out the oxygen and etc? I have to get a time capsule for two schools since we are doing a project on time capsules and I do not want the students to be disappointed 25 years from now. Do the papers have to be written in certain ink? Do they have to be wrapped in something or written on special paper? I have about 250 students just from one school? Thank you for any help you can share with us.

Q: I'm going to purchase one of your awesome 6"x24" stainless time capsules, but the 3 oz sealant I need (and the "how to bury" leaflet that comes with it) is out of stock. Is it possible to get a copy of that leaflet with the 1 oz sealant or for me to purchase that leaflet separately? Thanks so much, I look forward to your reply! : )

1. If you think of a ream of paper as being 500 sheets, and the size of the sheet being 8 1/2" x 11" - you could stack 2 reams of paper, slightly rolled of course, in the 23.5" beneath the lid of a 6x24" time capsule. That would be 1,000 sheets.
2. Yes, you can place it directly into the ground - but not on its side. We recommend it be placed in vertical position - up & down. These instructions & more come with the time capsule. You get a sealant and 1/2 unit of desiccant with this particular basic version.
3. We offer this basic version or you can choose a bundle which has (in addition to the time capsule) a preservation kit to fit the size and 1,000 cc oxygen absorber, too. You don't have to get the preservation kit, but we've loaded it with things like corrosion intercept bags, buffered paper envelopes, acid free tissue, and other items to keep things separate while they lie inside of the time capsule for a long time. We recommend an oxygen absorber because it removes the oxygen from any air that remains in the time capsule. The answer to this question, then, is 'it depends on you.' Sometimes people want things to remain as mint as possible, while other times it's not so important, or they opt to use their own supplies. Remember, it's most important that you have a good time capsule container - one that is airtight & that does not leak.
4. You can safely bury this time capsule for up to 60 years or so - please read and follow all instructions that come with it. You can't expect to place a time capsule to survive standing in water for 25 years no matter what the material is, however.
5. Some of the preservation questions you've asked are answered in the Preservation Hints pamphlet. With this time capsule, we give you that one plus 100 Ideas for Time Capsule Contents, plus 12 Time Capsule Project Tips. You also get a label that you can fill out with indelible marker (like a Sharpie) and a serial number label too. What ink you use should be as archival as possible. The paper should be acid free and have 25% cotton content. But if you have school letterhead, don't hesitate to use it. Put a local newspaper in your time capsule, but be sure to put it in a sleeve or bag. Please see our kit instructions for other information.

Yes, many customers put ashes in the time capsule containers. They are made of stainless steel and are completely inert and safe. I'm sorry but at this time we do not ship to the UK. We are in the process of evaluating ways to ship outside of the USA, but do not have one yet! Thank you for the question.

A: No, they were made for us in China to our specifications and our inspection, several years ago. It was the only way to get them in a large quantity to sell. We had to take out a loan to do this. Thank you for your question!

We will have to review the write-ups for products. Here's what happened. At one time, we were unable to get the 1 oz sealants, so we had to offer the larger 3 oz size sealants for these time capsules. Rest assured, all the same information as to How to Apply and How to Bury comes with the 1 oz sealant kits, too. Thanks for the question.
