- storage.boutique New Technology 3-Layer Dense, Lightweight Material
storage.boutique has developed an innovative, lightweight archive sleeve designed specifically to protect Flags and Patches. As you would expect, all storage.boutique sleeves are acid free. In addition, our sleeves are coated on the outside layer of the three layer film to retard the harmful effect of ultraviolet light. The middle layer is a dense core which prevents tearing. The inside layer of our sleeve is made from an untreated material which ensures that the sleeves are completely acid free on contact with your precious collectible. 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. The new technology material does not dull or scratch over time and retains the crystal clear transparency that you want for your collection. Available in seven different sizes to fit most types of Flags and Patches.
As we prepare packages by weight, there may occasionally be a slight discrepancy in quantity by 1 or 2%.

Our Materials
All of our protective sleeves are made in the UK and comply to the following British Standards:
BS 4971:2017 Conservation and care of archive and library collections;
BS 18902:2013 Storage 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 biaxially 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.
