A clear poly bag will protect your matted artwork against dirt, dust, fingerprints, and other types of accidental or environmental damage.  If you plan to have a bin or rack of matted artwork for sale at art fairs, then protecting your matted artwork with a clear poly bag is a wise idea.  The clear poly bag will protect the matted artwork while it is on display and also while it is in transit.  Additionally, matted artwork that is sold inside a clear poly bag projects the impression of quality and professionalism.

Documounts sells clear poly bags in a variety of sizes.  Our clear poly bags can fit artwork as small as 4 x 6 inches and as large as 32 x 40 inches.  These clear poly bags are made by Clearbags, the world’s leading supplier of crystal clear packaging.  They are sturdy and strong at 40 microns thick, yet they are also supple.

You can purchase clear poly bags from Documounts in quantities of 100.  They all have resealable adhesive strips, so they are easy to open and close.  Clear poly bags come in two styles: traditional bags, with the adhesive on the flap of the bag, and Body Closure (B/C) bags, which have the adhesive strip on the back of the bag itself.  The B/C bags are easier to open without worry of the bag tearing, and it is less likely that the artwork will stick to the bag when it is removed (which can happen when you use a traditional clear poly bag).  The only downside to B/C clear poly bags is that they can’t be shortened to a smaller size like traditional clear poly bags can.

In addition to clear poly bags, Documounts also sells mats, mount boards, frame mouldings, glazing, adhesives, and many other supplies that you’ll need to mat, mount and frame your artwork.
