As an alternative to just bagging them consider using these...

79-2436 White 24x36 AcidFree Card Stock PKG50 $69.95

These perfectly line the drawer of my 25x37 file and I interleave one sheet between prints to keep them from marring each other or getting unexpected ink transfers.

I don't care for the bags with the adhesive on them. They can sometimes stick to a print when removing them from the bag.

Definitely not. I only use plain bags with the ends folder over foam core and binder-clipped into place.

These Crescent boards are OK. Especially for short- to medium-term backing. Just remember though that while these boards have an acid-free core, they are still made from PAPER. To be truly archival - as in, what museums would use and what we all should use for long-term mounting and storage - all materials need to be paper-free, cotton rag.

the adhesive isnt on the flap, so theyve worked out pretty well for me so far.

Framedestination's have the adhesive on the bag rather than the flap as joshua said. I destroyed a Keyes Collector with the other style

These aren't mylar (polyethylene terephthalate), which is what the OP was asking for. They are BOPP (polypropylene) which isn't nearly as clear as mylar. Anybody have a recommendation for good, best price mylar bags?

While it is true that they aren't mylar they are pretty damn clear. I've been using them for a year with no problems. Love em.
