      Great quality and value

      I used these sleeves for 5" x 7" prints. Just roomy enough. Great seal adhesive.

              We needed these bags in a very short period of time - my step-father (and photographer partner) passed away and my family wanted to give out matted and protected examples of his art to everyone who came to his memorial service. B&H was fantastic - we had the bags in hand in no time flat and immediately put all the family members to work matting and protecting his gorgeous artwork. Everyone who received one of his photos was touched and thrilled to take home a reminder of a wonderful man and a gifted photographer. Thanks, B&H and Archival Methods, for helping us honor a truly beloved photographer.

                                    Used to protect prints (I have various size bags). Can't beat the price for just a clear plastic bag. I like the peal off sticker on the back.

                                            Great for photo protection. Resealable is the best feature!

                                                I put my self made greeting cards in these bags and sold them to a local market.
                                                They added a touch of professionalism.
                                                They truly accented the card.

                                                  Works great for displaying 5x7 photos. They fit perfectly in the sleeves. Very sturdy feeling and very clear.
