Where to buy Uk based plastic sleeve for 27"x41" movie posters ?
« on: September 05, 2014, 02:44:00 AM »
As the title suggests, I'm looking to store my movie posters flat as I don't want to excessively wear the fold lines on my folded poster collection.
So has anyone in the UK got any recommended UK goto stores ? I'm also looking for backing boards for said sleeves.
I like the look of these plastic ones from the US but with the shipping and customs it makes them cost prohibitive.

Thanks.

I buy my polyester pockets from

I specify a 100 microns thickness and exact dimensions of 1207mm x 795mm so that the sleeves, which hold one sheets or quads, will fit into an AO-sized plan chest.

You don't need backing boards.

I bought a load from Bags Unlimited. Shipping and customs pushed the price up, but I bought enough that it worked out at a good price per sleeve. I have a plan chest so don't use backing boards.

Scroll down for Poly sleeve options:

Thanks Mark, Looks just the job  :) Prob won't go as big as you as I don't collect quads.
@Tob, Thank you for the reply buddy, but as stated above I don't want to go down the import route  ;)
