Best archival sleeves for storing prints , by workandturn on Nov 11, 2017 18:53:51 GMT 1, Ive got a Hush print that I recently purchased that I can't afford to frame right now so want to store it flat as it comes in a tube. Went to Dick Blick to buy an arrival sleeve to put it in but there open at the top so didn't like them as Im worried about dust getting in.
Where's the best place to order from and what make do you recommend ?
Also for storage is in best just to use some cardboard or should I buy a portfolio to keep it (and hopefully others) in ?
Cheers for any help
James

The Alvin sleeves look more rigid with the inboard sleeve at I'm going to try them unless they're more costly. Thanks for the info Pipes and Csideguy.

Best archival sleeves for storing prints , by iamzero on Nov 23, 2017 18:04:45 GMT 1, Just had an interesting conversation with the art guy at Mapac whoโs A1 sized sleeves Iโve always used. They now make two sorts, the Jet sleeves that are 80 micron and are archival quality made from polypropylene I think he said and the Professional sleeve which is 150 microns and made from an inert PVC but they have not listed them as archival.
The thicker ones Iโve always used but the guy has now suggested I use the thinner Jet sleeves for long term storage.
Jacksons art supplies have the 150 micron oneโs described as archival quality but this does appear to be true after my talk with the Mapac dude. Anyone have an opinion on these thinner sleeves for storage?

They're 150 micron polypropylene with acid free inserts: www.officemonster.co.uk/storefront/Goldline-Clear-Polypropylene-Display-Sleeve-A1-Pack-of-10-PDSA1Z-P-933811#.WhcJmlWRqHs
They look good dude.

Best archival sleeves for storing prints , by thebot on Nov 23, 2017 19:09:34 GMT 1, I think Museums and the like use polyester(mylar) sleeves especially with photographs as the polyester doesn't react with anything.
Don't know if this helps?

Iโve a feeling the guy I spoke to told me the Jet sleeves were Polyester. The reason they donโt make them them thicker is due to the loss of clarity.

Best archival sleeves for storing prints , by loother on Nov 23, 2017 23:09:25 GMT 1, I got some A1 mapac jet sleeves recently. I think they're fine, though I jettisoned the very flimsy black paper that comes in them and replaced it with thick, archival paper to give them a bit more structure, and would certainly recommend that you do the same. It may be that the Goldline sleeves geester mentioned suffice without any additional paper-buying.
