Our Materials

storage.boutique has developed an innovative new, lightweight three layer, acid free, archive standard sleeve specifically sized for various collectables. They are manufactured here in the UK to our own exact specifications, from three different layers of very high quality biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP).

The outer layer is low density coated on the outside to retard the harmful effect of ultra-violet light. The middle layer is a dense core giving strength which prevents tearing but as the material is biaxally oriented it retains the extreme clarity for decades. The inside layer is untreated and inert, which ensures that the sleeves are completely acid free on contact with your precious collectable.

Our sleeves are sealed at the edge by compression and ultrasound, meaning that they fit neatly around your collectable putting the focus on the contents.

If you have previously stored paper-based items in hard plastic sleeves, albums or even polypockets you will know how they dull over time, degrade, and allow the ink on your collectable to fade through exposure to ultra-violet light damage.

The result of all this technology is a new, unique way of storing your archive or collection for a very long time, reducing hard plastic usage, and enhancing the display quality of the contents – and thereby possibly the value of your collection.

Additional Tips on Storage, Preservation, and Protection:

• Store your paper collectable using only branded storage.boutique sleeves as these are guaranteed archive safe;

• Always lay your collectable flat - never stand precious collectable upright in albums or binders, as gravity stress over time, can deteriorate weaker materials;

• Place your collectable (in our sleeve) flat in a dark box, on a flat surface, away from bright light;

• Never store in a polypocket as these are made from plastic and will deteriorate and degrade your paper collectable very quickly;

• Never place your collectable in a sleeve with a card backing such as a laminated “Board” as chemical treatments on these materials give off gas that can affect your collectable.

• If you are index labelling your collectable, write on the label before sticking it to the outside of the sleeve. Do not stick a label to the inside of the sleeve.
