Ziplock Polyethylene Bags – Archival Storage Bags (2 mil & 4 mil)
Documents, prints, and irregularly shaped objects all need protection from moisture, and that's exactly what these polyethylene bags are built for. The inert material won't react with what's stored inside, and the resealable closure keeps things simple.
Store and protect documents and objects with durable, inert polyethylene bags designed for archival use. These transparent, water-resistant bags provide a reliable moisture barrier for a wide range of materials. Available in standard 2 mil and heavyweight 4 mil thicknesses, these bags suit a range of storage needs, from everyday documents to bulkier or irregularly shaped items. The resealable closure makes it easy to access contents without compromising protection, and the transparent material means you don't have to open a bag to identify what's inside. Their water-resistant construction adds a layer of defence against moisture, which is often one of the bigger risks to paper and mixed-media collections over time.

What's the difference between the 2 mil and 4 mil bags?
The 2 mil bags are the standard option, suited to everyday documents and prints. The 4 mil bags are heavyweight, offering extra durability for bulkier or more fragile items.
Are these bags safe for long-term archival storage?
Yes, they're made from inert polyethylene, which won't react with or damage the materials stored inside.
Can these bags protect against moisture?
Yes, they're water-resistant and provide an effective moisture barrier.
What sizes are available?
The bags come in multiple dimensions to accommodate different document and object sizes. Choose the option that best fits your items when ordering.

Yes. Carr McLean specifically lists paintings and oddly shaped objects among their uses, so they aren't limited to documents and flat paper materials.
