A pack of 50 archive standard protective sleeves, specifically designed and manufactured exactly to enhance, protect and preserve precious FDC's for decades to come.
Our company, storage.boutique, is based in rural west of Scotland where we manufacture our own branded protective sleeves from three-layer BOPP – a new and advanced technology material. We are the world leader in the safe archive storage of photographs, prints and collectables. Our protective sleeves are used by many of the top universities, archives and private collections across the planet.
These highly specialised sleeves are inert, strong, dense, lightweight and anti-static. They are photo activity safe and offer protection against volatile organic compounds (such as the harmful gases emitted by old vinyl storage albums which should never, ever be used to store anything important or valuable). We also manufacture with a 3% alkali buffer to ensure the sleeve is properly archive standard.
The outer layer of our BOPP sleeve is low density, coated on the outside to retard the harmful effect of ultra-violet light. The middle layer is a dense core giving strength which prevents tearing – the lightweight nature of our sleeve and the BOPP material means it retains extreme clarity for decades. The inside layer is untreated, which ensures that the sleeves are completely acid free on contact with your item. We also weld the sides of our sleeves cleanly to ensure you have a neat edge – this means the focus of the viewer is drawn directly to the contents and not the storage material. The result of all this technology is a new, unique way of storing your archive or collection for a very long time, reducing hard plastic usage, and enhancing the display quality of the contents – and thereby possibly the value of your collection.
