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.

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.
