Golden State Art 18x24 Inch Crystal Sealed Clear Plastic Sleeves,100 Pack

These bags are excellent for my sewing patterns. Will be purchasing again.

These are excellent, crystal clear bags that fit my thick 6" x 9" cards perfectly without bowing or splitting a seam when putting them on. The extra 1/8th inch makes putting the sleeves on a ton easier than true 6" bags without it looking too large for the card.My only complaint is about the seal. First, the adhesive isn't very strong (which could be good if you're wanting a bag that's easy to open). It's also on the body of the bag and not the flap, so you end up with a lot of excess plastic past the seal. I'm left having to trim nearly an inch off the ends of the bags to make it look tidier.

Okay, I've got a story for you.I am an artist who has just gotten started with street fairs (and hopefully some cons in the future). I did some research about packaging, thought about what I wanted when buying a print, and decided ultimately on some chipboard, and a clear bag so people could see the art when it was being walked around with (free advertising lol.) I ordered these, purely for the price, and because they were clear. The fact that they sealed was just a bonus, I thought. In reality, the sealing aspect was an absolute godsend.Several days ago, I was selling at an all day street fair when we were assaulted by the most insane thunderstorm you can imagine. (Perhaps it seemed more insane because we were in a tent?) I'm talking wrath of Poseidon kind of weather. Like, there were tents being blown away, merchandise all over the streets, rain coming down sideways sort of weather. At one point I was literally holding on to the tent with both hands, and mentally doing the math concerning all the prints I'd surely lost.When at last the weather finally calmed down, and the sun reappeared, I began to take stock of the situation. Imagine my most incredible surprise, that not one, NOT ONE, print had gotten wet. I was literally flabbergasted. Rain water on everything, but not a drop had gotten inside the plastic sleeves to damage my prints. I could hardly believe it. Some of these prints were literally floating in water, completely unharmed. I shook em off, dried off my basket, and set things to rights, silently sending thanks to Golden State Art for these incredible plastic sleeves.Folks, these are worth every dime. I am eternally grateful.

Excellent product. Protects photos, clear, great size. Photos can be handled without ever touching them again. Photos should last for generations!

PROS - They work great. I like to use them when a put watercolor paintings in a white mat size 16 inches by 20 inches with a foam backing. This protects them and keep my paintings looking nice. I either put in the foam back first careful making sure the end of the backing is aligned with the opening of this clear envelope. Then, I put in the watercolor painting (usually on Arches 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper size 11 inches by 15 inches) taped on the back to a 16 inch by 20 inch beveled edge white mat. Then, I tape down the back flap with a few pieces of tape so that I can re-open it and take out the painting if I want to photograph the painting again or display for a class workshop that I am conducting. It protects my paintings for anything getting on them. It make my paintings look new and shinny.CONS - They can rip or tear easily, if you are not careful putting in that paint with painting and backing.

Always great bags but how incredible stupid to have these shipped without being inside another bag or box!!! A shipping label was placed on the product itself… insane.

I love these bags! I write books.PatrickFrancisFitzgerald.com( Assorted genres)When people request a sign copy I send in these, clean durable and protective. I use the 6x9 for my books that are formatted at 5.5x8.5 and approximately 100-150 page novellas.

Very sturdy actually, crisp, great quality - like that the adhesive doesn't adhere too permanently as a couple times I made mistakes and put the wrong card in the cellophane bag and had to change them out - was able to peel off the flap without any damage - but the peel stays nice and shut when closed!They're just a hair bigger than the A6-sized card/envelope combo but I think there really isn't a size any smaller that will fit the A6 envelope too. Highly recommend for the price. There's another one out there on Amazon too that's a similar price for a pack of 100 - don't get those....they are much flimsier compared to how crisp and sturdy these are.

It is hard to find clear bags for 13x19 prints and these fit perfectly; I can easily get an art print in there with a cardboard or chipboard and there is plenty of room yet snug fit! Will be ordering more for my 13x19 art prints.

Good Product

I use these to protect my 9x12 inches art prints. The size is perfect.

Great archival sleeves, use for storing my art

Poor quality. Not the same as represented in pictures.
