CD Protection Sleeves, ARCHIVE STANDARD, Acid Free

We know that the artwork on CD covers can often be precious and can be damaged by ultraviolet light just like any other collectable. So we made sleeves that fit different CD sizes that would protect the artwork on the sleeves in the same way we protect other collectables.

Size 1 is 130 x 159mm in a pack of 50. It is designed to fit a single CD, not in any case. It is open ended on the short side to allow you to insert and remove easily.

Size 2 is 130 x 130mm in a pack of 50 but has a peel and seal flap. This is also designed to fit a single CD, not in any case. It simply seals the CD into the sleeve to protect against dust etc.

Size 3 is 135 x 185mm in a pack of 50 and also has a peel and seal flap. This sleeve is designed to fit a CD in it's jewel case or for a single Digipack;

Size 4 is 155 x 155mm in a pack of 50 and also has a peel and seal flap. This sleeve is designed to fit a Double CD in it's jewel case or for a Double Digipack;

Please also note that we make sleeves to protect DVDs, Blu Rays and Vinyl Record Sleeves artwork.

A pack of ARCHIVE STANDARD protective sleeves, specifically designed and manufactured exactly to enhance, protect and preserve precious CDs for decades to come.

• ACID FREE CD protective sleeves 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 CD 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.
