What are vinyl plastic sleeves and what are they used for?
Vinyl sleeves are made of two pieces of plastic, usually PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) that have been sealed together using heat or RF (radio frequency).The two pieces of PVC are sealed together on three sides to form a pocket, pouch or sleeve that can be used to store various (mostly flat) items or documents. The most common uses for vinyl sleeves are page protectors, presentation sleeves, menu covers, or business card holders.The plastic sleeves are preferred for presentation materials as they are very clear, without significant distortion while also being mostly impermeable. This protects the documents from many environmental factors which is why these sleeves are commonly used for archiving documents.Vinyl or plastic sleeves are also used for menu holders as they are easy to clean and protect the menu from deterioration from constant use.
Vinyl sleeves and pockets come in a variety of sizes, colors, and thicknesses but generally, the sleeves are made in 6 gauge to 10 gauge clear plastic.The appearance of the material is usually determined by the application.For example, when the vinyl sleeves are used for presentation materials, document storage and collector pieces the vinyl sleeves are clear or polished clear. The materials provide storage and protection for the document or article while offering a package that is waterproof and has very low visual distortion. This allows the materials or documents within the sleeve to be read or reviewed freely without direct contact which can be important to preserving the coin, document, or item.For more challenging environments or applications, such as holding a menu, the vinyl sleeve may be purchased with a thicker plastic so that the packaging may be more durable.
Vinyl pockets are commonly used to hold stamps, coins, documents and other collectables.The vinyl sleeves are chosen because they are very inexpensive and provide a lightweight, waterproof and durable protection while having very low visual distortion. The low distortion means that the collectable, say a baseball card or stamp can be viewed and handled without damaging the collectable.By protecting the collectable from fluids, the sleeve will protect it from damage due to spills or changes in humidity.But, when you are using plastic sleeves for your most precious collectables or pictures, it is important to use acid-free materials so that there is no damage to the collectable or transfer of the image in a photograph that would ruin it.
Vinyl pockets are a great way to add to your presentation.By using the polished clear plastic sleeves, you can add weight to your documents and add that polished look to your graphics within the presentation.We have all learned that things that are shiny are usually valuable and that things that are dull are not. It is for this reason that the photographic papers have been using glossy finishes on their papers to add impact of the images printed on them.Where you are not going to use photographic paper for your document, the cover can be showcased within a polished cover to highlight that this document is important enough to read and is valuable enough to protect.
