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.

Product Details

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.

Yes, they're made from inert polyethylene, which won't react with or damage the materials stored inside.

Can these bags protect against moisture?

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.
