Clear 11x17 Art Sleeves, 100 Pack - Acid Free Protective Bags

Our review of these clear 11x17 art sleeves finds them to be a practical choice for artists, photographers and archivists who need affordable, protective storage for larger prints. The single biggest reason to buy is their balance of clear, acidfree protection and large capacity in a resealable format that keeps dust and pet hair away while still allowing the work to be displayed through the sleeve. For anyone storing matted prints, posters or important documents, these sleeves simplify handling and longterm protection.

Key Features

• Exact fit: The 11 3/7 in by 17 1/2 in size is slightly larger than 11x17 in, so prints and matted artwork slide in without bending.
• Acid free protection: Made to be acid free so stored papers and photos are less likely to yellow over time.
• Widened adhesive flap: A larger adhesive strip helps seal out dust and pet hair for longer periods.
• Crystal clear material: Transparent, airtight film lets you view artwork clearly without removing it from the sleeve.
• Reusable sealing: The resealable adhesive strip allows repeated removal and repacking of items without damaging the sleeve.
• Multi-size range: The product family includes various sizes so buyers can pick sleeves that match other formats.

Who It's For

These sleeves are well suited to artists, photographers and hobbyists who need a low-cost, protective envelope for 11x17 in prints, matted photos, posters and documents. The clear, acid free material and resealable flap make them useful for short- and medium-term storage, mail preparation, and portfolio presentation.

Those who require archival-grade, museum conservation materials or custom-sized foam-core mounting should look elsewhere, because while these sleeves provide good everyday protection and dust resistance, they are not specified as museum-grade conservation enclosures.
