          I ordered the Crystal Clear archival bags to store prints and to deliver prints to customers. They are very easy to use and load prints into. The bags seal well and seem to seal out moisture. I have not had any problems with this product and will gladly recommend the crystal clear achival bags to aby one!

                    I use this to ship giclee prints. These provide fine protection for the prints. The only thing that could be better about these is that there is not a "crease" at the point where the flap gets folded over, so it is not a crisp fold. It's not that bad though.

                          Works as expected. Large enough to hold 8.5 x 11 size prints with room to spare. The self sealing flap can be opened and re-sealed multiple times.
