This is the big list of all our ARCHIVE STANDARD sleeves in different sizes. External sizes are specified in mm, then the number of sleeves are given. The sleeves are flush top, open ended on one of the shorter sides.
There is a separate shop item for all peel & seal sleeves.
- ACID FREE protective sleeves for ART PRINTS which offer the highest level of ARCHIVE STANDARD protection, made with a 3% alkali buffer for long term safe storage
- Made in the UK to comply with British Standard 4971 - Conservation and care of archive and library collections, and 18903 in relation to storage materials.
- New technology material from storage.boutique - dense, strong and lightweight Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP). Three different individual layers protect against daylight (Ultra Violet), moisture, and volatile organic compound damage.
- Crystal clear, does not cloud over time, fits neatly over a single art print to display perfectly, and enhance the glossy quality of the sleeve contents.
- Scratch-resistant, anti-static, photograph activity safe material, ideal for very long term, safe storage
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.
