It would certainly be good to know how they are. Having said that; at that price, you really can't go wrong with Selwyn sleeves - they are the best by far, in my experience.PaulSeal5 wrote:I found some sleeves for sale on amazon uk that work for 24x36 prints, even 30x40 too!
I've just placed an order so I'll report back if anyone is interested.

I can't see prices listed on the site, and I'm pretty sure I called them up for prices and to place my order. We're going back a fair few years, but I think they were £18 each for a pack of ten 30" x 40" with metal corners. I then bought a few cheaper ones from my framer, and the quality paled in comparison.PaulSeal5 wrote:I've not seen these, are there prices anywhere ?

Here's a search for "selwyns" on UAA and you get a good few pages of pics and more testimonials. (It appears you need to do a captcha if not already a member over there)

They come in boxes of 15 but I only wanted 6 so you have to pay a small fee to split the box, 5 pounds.
They were 17.50 each, I think that's a good price as you can fit it two prints in each.
Hope that helps?
I'll happily take some photos when they arrive if you want?

Still probally the best poster in this scene
Read the small print on Parcelforce today and also phoned them to check... they don't insure art. Seems quite a few couriers are the same. When did this change?? I've ended up using DHL who still cover art up to 5k.
Parcel force told me that to use their service, it would need to be insured through a third party specialist insurer.

I bought some of the Preservation Equipment archival sleeves 2 weeks ago. They are archival and not cheap and I was worried at first whether they would be too flimsy but when I put some prints in them, they were great. Slide the prints in and the prints almost stick to the polyester sleeve. Which is just what I wanted as I have to move my flat file into storage very soon so these sleeves will protect the prints really well. Plus of course it makes the prints so much easier to handle regardless
