Hi Friends:

I have been searching the web and have found several sites that offer sleeves in which to store my spare 16 x 20 signed photos.

I have run into two choices: Polypropylene and polyethylene.

Does anyone have any information on either of these? Which is safer to use with signed photos?

Many thanks!

Rob

Rob,

I would reccommend Dupont Melinex 516 available at:
www.gaylord.com

They have a great selection of archival storage products -- many special collections at major universities buy from them. It can be a little expensive but thnink about what you'll be storing in them ... it's worth the small investment!

I use polypropylene since this plastic slade excists, and had no problem. Many years ago I used polyethilene and the photos and signatures als were not damaged (30 years).
Would it make that difference ?
