Protect Your Artwork in a Clear Crystal Bag

Monday, December 14th, 2009

It’s a good idea to protect your matted artwork inside a clear crystal bag before placing it for sale in a rack or bin at an art fair.  The clear crystal bag will protect your matted artwork from dust and from accidental damage, such as smudges or fingerprints.  Plus, matted artwork that is presented for sale inside a clear crystal bag has a more professional appearance.

You can buy high-quality clear crystal bags from Documounts. We sell clear crystal bags manufactured by Clearbags, the world’s leading supplier of crystal clear packaging.  These bags are 40 microns thick, making them strong and durable, yet supple.  You can buy clear crystal bags from Documounts in quantities of 100.  Clear crystal bags are available as both traditional bags and Body Closure bags, both with resealable adhesive strips.

The traditional clear crystal bags have the adhesive strip on the flap, whereas the adhesive strip on the Body Closure (B/C) bags is on the back of the bag.  Both clear crystal bags are top-quality, but the B/C bags are easier to open without tearing the bag.  There is also less chance of the matted artwork sticking to the bag when it is removed.

Traditional clear crystal bags are available in the following sizes.   The bags are a bit bigger than the sizes listed below.  The sizes below describe the size of artwork that can fit into the clear crystal bag.  The first dimension listed is the side of the clear crystal bag that has the opening.  The dimensions are in inches.

Where to Buy a Clear Poly Bag to Protect Your Artwork

Monday, December 14th, 2009

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.

Clear bags will help protect the matted artwork that you put on display for sale at art festivals, art galleries and studio sales.  When you sell art at art fairs, there will be tons of people rifling through your racks of art.  If your works of art are not protected inside clear bags, they may get accidentally damaged in a number of ways.  Clear bags protect your art against dust and accidental damage, such as smudges or fingerprints.

Documounts sells high quality clear bags produced by the company Clearbags, which is the world’s leading supplier of crystal clear packaging.  These crystal clear bags are 40 microns thick, which means they are both durable and supple.  When matted artwork is presented for sale inside clear bags such as these, it helps complete the professional display of your artwork, making your artwork more appealing to buyers.

At Documounts you can buy clear bags in quantities of 100, ensuring you that have plenty of clear bags to present and protect your artwork.  Clear bags are available in a wide range of sizes, to fit artwork as small as 4 x 6 inches to as large as 32 x 40 inches.  Documounts sells both traditional clear bags and Body Closure bags, both featuring resealable adhesive strips.  In traditional clear bags, the adhesive strip can be found on the flap of the bag.  In Body Closure (B/C) bags, the adhesive strip is located on the back of the bag itself.  This makes it easier to remove the matted artwork without the artwork getting stuck on the adhesive, and also means that the bag is less likely to accidently tear.

In addition to clear bags, you can also buy matting, mounting and framing supplies from Documounts – from mats and mount boards, to frames, glazing and adhesives.
