Mrs Future 5.5 x 22 Time Capsule Container Standard - Perfect Choice for Burial

Our 5-1/2" x 22" Stainless Steel Time capsule is slightly smaller than the 6x24 in size, yet it also fits a lot of items. It actually measures 5.5" x 22". This family size time capsule fits a lot of items in it, up to 50 items including DVDs in their cases. You'll get a time capsule that has passed our 12 point inspection for all points, except for cosmetics (see below). With the Basic Mrs 5x22 Future Time Capsule, you get the minimum you need for your time capsule project. You can "Make it a Bundle" that includes two optional but recommended products - the 11652 matching Preservation Enclosures Kit and the Oxygen Absorbers.

What's Standard Mean?

Don't be afraid of the term standard! The Mrs Future 5.5 x 22 standard time capsule container is a new but slightly irregular time capsule. It will have some slight blemish that makes us sell it as irregular (small blemish on cap surface, small scratch on bottom, etc.). It is functionally sound and scrupulously inspected for any defect that would affect its quality over time. Customers always tell us they have to look closely to find any imperfection.

Happy with size for wedding stuff

We didn't know about the size of this time capsule at the time we ordered it, but when we opened the package and held it in our hands we could tell it was just right. It fits all of the items we had for the project and then some. We had some thumb drives, DVD of our wedding, CD of photos, and lots of 5x7 color photos along with little favors from the wedding and little scrolls from our guests, too. We put in a newspaper from the day and our champagne glasses too (those were wrapped good in tissue). We used a small amount of sealant because we just wanted it to be tamper proof (the instructions say the wax is optional so we didn't feel we needed it). We are keeping it in our closet until our 10th anniversary. Doing the time capsule project was fun and made us think about the future, so we put some predictions in there too.

Pleased with quality

I can't tell you how pleased I am with the time capsule. It barely looks like there's a scratch on it. I looked at it all over! I honestly can't believe it was considered less quality than the other. I can't wait to give this to my friend. Thank you so much for working with me and getting it here so quickly! I will definitely order from you again if I ever need another time capsule. Thanks so much, Sarah Sent using OWA for iPhone

Q: How long will it take for this to arrive in southwest Nebraska if ordered today?

Asked by: Loretta - 3/10/2017

A: We are in southern California, near Los Angeles. Fed Ex Ground takes 3 working days to get to, say, Nebraska City 68410. To answer the processing time for this item, if you get your order in by 12 noon, we generally ship the same day!
Thank you for your question.

Q: Will this item last 20 years underground?

Asked by: Sue - 9/5/2018

A: Yes, if you follow the instructions for placement carefully. We do recommend you use the sealant - all instructions for applying it should be followed so that you can open it up again later. Also it should be placed up & down, vertically, not laying down horizontally. By doing this you take advantage of the strength of the cylinder in this position. So it's easiest to use a 'post hole' digger or something similar. If any kind of enclosure or vault is used, we recommend making sure it doesn't hold water from the weather - allow it to drain through. Seal off the area above it well (see our blog entries for examples). Some use a boulder, others a cemented area with a plaque. Don't put it in a garden that will get watered all the time! Other hints and instructions are included with the sealant. As with everything, use common sense. It IS stainless steel, and will not rust unless you have it sitting in water all that time. One good thing about burial is that it keeps it at a stable temperature during that time. Do not place it above ground so that it is subject to changes in temperature. Place it about 18" below the surface.
