Whether you're requesting backing boards for textile conservation, solvents for painting restoration, or humidity monitoring equipment for climate-sensitive collections, this form captures all the critical details in one organized workflow.

Built for conservation workflows

The form includes fields for artifact specifications, material grade requirements, environmental control parameters, preservation standards compliance, and archival quality certifications. Conditional logic ensures that only relevant questions appear based on the type of materials being requested, making the process efficient for conservators while comprehensive for procurement.

Paperform's calculation engine can help track budget allocation across different conservation projects, while file upload fields allow conservators to attach product specifications, safety data sheets, or supplier catalogues. With integration options, each request can automatically flow into your inventory management system or trigger approval workflows in Stepper.
