Archival Methods offers crystal clear archival bags for prints, documents, and more. Available in 100-count packages, these bags keep your items in optimal condition with a protective layer.

For maximum protection on display, during handling, or in storage, we recommend our large plastic sleeves for artwork, photographs, and documents. The Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) has excellent clarity, a low electrostatic charge, is acid-free, and is safe for long-term storage.

All of our crystal clear archival bags for prints, documents, and other items have a protective adhesive closure strip located on the body of the bag, not the flap. This adhesive placement is important, as when the contents are removed or re-inserted there is less of a chance of the artwork sticking to the adhesive strip. It is, however, recommended that you insert and remove items carefully from these large plastic sleeves for artwork, photographs, and other documents. Bags are sized to accommodate a thickness of matted prints or multiple prints. Bags up to 11x14" will accommodate 3/16" in thickness, and bags 12x16" and larger will accommodate 3/8" thickness. Each bag is sealed on three sides and opens on the short side with a 1-1/2” flap.
