Hello, Thanks for the question. We have a polypro sleeve that will work with no flap on top. www.bagsunlimited.com/product/5989/polypropylene-sleeves-for-photos
I disagree. Since the plastic bags can not be sealed like a zip lock bag what's to stop oxygen from fading and damaging your posters? Papers, posters, & photo papers fade and age because of exposure to oxygen. Samething goes for those heavy duty boxes. What's keeping the oxygen out? I have several magazines of different sizes in equal size zip lock bags from far back as the 70's and they still look brand new or like new to this day. No fading. The pages are not yellow; they're still white. I once bought a LIFE magazine (1961) of John F Kennedy at an estate sale for $1.00 in 1997 and as soon as I got home I put it in a zip lock bag to keep the oxygen out. Still looks in excellent condition. I do this as well when I buy old important books. Oxygen is your enemy when archiving papers of any kind.
Many environmental pollutants can be an enemy to paper. Oxygen is just one. The Library of Congress recommends and uses polyester for all of their paper archiving BUT they do not recommend the bags be sealed. A ziplock bag on its own will not stop oxygen from entering through the plastic BUT it can and will most likely trap moisture and any contaminants or pollutants in the paper itself. It's highly unlikely the paper is acid free and over time those acids will break down and have a hard time escaping that sealed bag. Some extra steps, including adding some sort of desiccant and oxygen scavengers would be ideal for any archiving, as well as using some interleaved acid trapping papers. We're glad to hear your magazines are in great condition. That is not how the leading authorities on archiving would recommend it be done however. Thanks for the comment.
In regards to fading colors, the larger threat by magnitudes is light. Oxygen may play a factor in the fading of colors but ultraviolet light will destroy paper products much more quickly than being exposed to oxygen. If one must display their magazines or posters it is highly recommended to keep them away from natural lights sources and to use a conservation glass or poly-glass with UV inhibiting qualities.
Great video!
Does the l sleeve seal on the open sides so the poster doesn't fall out?
