Clear Art & Photo Bags   In the past, protecting your art was a time consuming and cumbersome project. Now all you have to do is slip your art into these bags and fold over the flap which has a resealable adhesive strip on it. In just seconds your art is placed in a safe environment and can be stored in storage box, flatfile, portfolio or print rack!  These bags will accept matted and mounted artwork as well. The size range was developed after long investigation. The range includes all traditional and modern sizes including printmaking, drawing and watercolor sizes and the ever increasingly important sizes for ink jet printing. Since artists and photographers share many similar popular sizes, KrystalSeal Bags are perfect for photographers as well.   These bags eliminate the need for shrink wrapping and covering with acetate film and are far more useful. While presenting your art at shows or in the studio, the art can be removed for viewing and then placed back in the bag and resealed, allowing for repeated access while keeping out dust and dirt.  Bags are made to fit the sizes indicated below, and have a ¼" tolerance on both sides up to 13×19" and a ½" tolerance for sizes 16×20" and larger. Compared to all other available means to protect your artwork, Krystal Seal Bags are the most economical and may be purchased in 25 packs or 250 bulk packs.  Archival and crystal clear Provides a professional finish for your presentations Accepts mounted and matted work May easily be resealed Perfect for home, gallery and tradeshows

Comments about Creative Mark Krystal Seal Art and Photo Bags:

AT first I thought this woudl be the exact same as the Krystal Bags I buy at the Jerrys retain store. However they are not and not the same quality. When I open the box all 250 pieces were just floating loose in a box and the top 15-20 pieces were not usable (wrinkled beyand use) the wrinkles seen to be in the plastic. Also they have a slight yellow tint them (not soKrstal Clear). Good value to wrap your art work up but there is better quality out there.

Comments about Creative Mark Krystal Seal Art and Photo Bags:

Krystal Seal Bags are great protection for my artwork. Handpainted note cards are especially protected during customer handling while keeping the image clearly visible.

Shipping used unecessarily large box for two 5 x 7 Krystal bags. Seems to me this is a waste of materials and postage.

I use these great bags to protect my colored pencil renderings while I'm working on them, and to show watercolors and pencil drawings at sales. They are cut generously enough to accommodate the drawing and the mat. Jerry's always sends my orders out right away, well packaged, so you can count on them if you have a show coming up. Great product!

These bags are very resiliant and remain clear allowing my prints to be viewed and at the same time protected. The wide range of sizes is great for greeting cards up to large matted prints! The flaps are practical because they are self-sealing.

Comments about Creative Mark Krystal Seal Art and Photo Bags:

I needed these to protect my oil paintings. I just leave the ends open so the paintings can get air. My paintings would get scratched at times. I can slip them into these protectors and not worry when people look through them. Watercolorists and acrylic artists use them all the time- so, I started using them with my oils (not sealed). It sure is better than wax paper.

We use these to package our prints. Presents our work in a very professional manner while protecting the artwork. We only get a couple of sizes and have various sizes of work to show, so we just fold the bags over and tape them. Works great. We do recommend these.

Comments about Creative Mark Krystal Seal Art and Photo Bags:

This is the first time I was buying clear envelopes to house my delicate collages. I cut mat board to back up all the collages. The mat board and collage fit beautifully in each envelope with no wrinkling. And, not only are the envelopes truly clear but they don't crease with use. Finally, the self stick flap can be opened and closed numerous times with no problem. These envelopes made my collages look and feel extra professional and helped increase my sales! I sure picked the right product!

I was so happy to find the l3" x 19" size sleeve for the art prints that I print myself for our art business. The quality of this bag is superb and I plan to place another order for more. It adds a professional touch to the artwork when it is placed in the sleeve, rolled and shipped to a client..a beautiful presentation. I could not be happier!!

Comments about Creative Mark Krystal Seal Art and Photo Bags:

Use to protect portfolio paintings and greeting cards (prints of original paintings). They come in many sizes so you can get what you need. Have noticed that if you have a matted painting with foam core backing or a pack of 4 cards you better get the next size up. For example a 16"X20" envelope will not accommodate a 16"X20" matted painting.

Comments about Creative Mark Krystal Seal Art and Photo Bags:

Hard to find this item on line. You see it for the trading cards but not the photo cards and not clear for the photo mats(sizing). You list the out side but not the inside (its not clear to the person ordering, not even to your staff. Because I order 8.5 x 11 matts and received 12x16. I also order 8.5x11 krystal clear bags. So know I have matts and bags the doesn't match. [...]So my suggestion is to list them differently, or like you list the trading cards just below the item. The staff should know this also when making orders by phone, which I did.

Comments about Creative Mark Krystal Seal Art and Photo Bags:

Very good value and very good bags. I bought bigger than I usually need thinking I could fold them. Seems to work out all right but I will buy smaller sizes next time too. Only complaint is that they do not seem to reseal (perhaps I haven't tried enough). Once closed, that's it.
