What We Do/LEARN ABOUT BAGS UNLIMITED...great info

What We Do
Polyethylene bags are an excellent storage material for any kind of paper products.  When you store paper products in poly sleeves you keep them free from dust, dirt, finger oils and other airborne pollutants; all of which cause paper breakdown. Our polyethylene bags are made from high-clarity, recyclable 100% pure virgin polyethylene material. It is used worldwide in museums, archival institutions, and libraries as one of the preferred storage and display materials. Our polyethylene material is stable, inert, does not leach, and has microscopic breathing pores, which do not allow moisture to be trapped inside the bag. Aside from its structural superiority, it is also less expensive than most other plastic storage and display materials. Our bags are properly sized, packed in user-friendly outer packs and cost just a few pennies per bag. We also offer a large selection of Mylar® sleeves. Mylar is extremely clear, inert, 100% acid-free and considered to be the most archival of all protective sleeves.
BACKINGS:
Prevent corners and edges from wrinkling and bending by placing one of Bags Unlimited's backing boards behind or in the center of your collectible. Remember, the quality and permanence of the board will ultimately effect the condition of the paper in contact with it. Choose from one of our (3) three grades: cconomy, intermediate, and superior. For larger items such as posters and prints, we also offer a 1/8" thick, white on both sides, 200 lb. test corrugated backing.
BOXES:
Choose our storage boxes to protect and catalog your collectibles. Bags Unlimited boxes are the standard of the industry. Our uniquely designed boxes have the following features:
  • Custom fit to match the dimensions of the stored product.
  • Fold together without tape or glue.
  • Double thick handle edges for extra strength.
  • Stackable.
We also have a line of PLASTIC CORRUGATED storage boxes.  These superior boxes are made from 2.5 mm polypropylene plastic corrugated material.  This super strong material is acid free, U.V. resistant, waterproof, antistatic, insect- & vermin-resistant. Add, as a compliment to your storage boxes, Bags Unlimited storage divider cards. Designed to store upright in our boxes with the lid on. Great for separating or categorizing your stored goods! Also use our "Fold 'n' Hold" box spacers to keep your comics, magazines, and LPs upright in bins and boxes.
Other Products:
MAILERS:
When mailing your valuable collectibles, your shipping container is of the utmost importance. Just as our boxes are custom fit to match the dimensions of the stored product, so too are our mailers custom fit to the dimensions of the products that are being shipped. Bags Unlimited corrugated mailers have been properly sized and custom designed to protect so that your products arrive in the same condition you shipped them in. We also have available, corrugated pads, which act as cushioning protection when mailing.
In addition to our custom designed mailers, we have added a line of stock shipping & storage boxes. We have over 70 shippers to accommodate the various shapes and sizes you may require. These boxes are made from 200# test brown corrugated material.
MAILING ACCESSORIES:
As a compliment to our mailers and shipping boxes we have bubble wrap, foam cushioning, packing peanuts, carton sealing tapes, packing list envelopes, and mailing labels that you can custom design with your logo or company name.
DISPLAY AND PROMOTION:
How to display, promote or present your collectibles is of constant concern to collectors. We have worked to make it fun to keep your collections organized and ready to display, while, at the same time, safe from dust, dirt, fingerprints, and bent corners. From stick-on display pockets to clear acrylic wall frames, we have a display method that will work for you.

HOW WILL SLEEVES PROTECT MY COLLECTIBLE?

Twitter / BagsUnlimited1: Polypropylene COMIC BAGS. 1.2mil. ...
Why do you need sleeves for comics? Well, time has a way of damaging everything....dust, dirt, oil, sun, and plain old time slowly causes chemical damage to most everything...ever see a really old wooden chair that has not been taken care of? It loses luster and can become brittle, and even moldy. Well, paper is much the same...over time it oxidizes, colors change and fade, and pages become brittle. That kind of damage can mean the difference in hundreds of dollars~It's easy to prevent time from ravaging your collectibles, and if you're on a budget, these sleeves ought to cover you!

DON'T RISK THE BREAKDOWN OF YOUR MOST VALUABLE RECORDED DATA.

Corrosion Intercept Technology
 Contrary to previous belief, research is now showing that CDs, DVDs and CDRs are vulnerable to oxidation, corrosive gases, and UV breakdown. A new technology has been developed to slow this destruction down, and is known as CORROSION INTERCEPT TECHNOLOGY. CDs and DVDs stored in sleeves, pages and cases utilizing this technology show a 30 times longer shelf-life than those stored in regular storage containers.
This technology uses molecular-sized copper fragments impregnated into the materials to neutralize noxious pollutants that attack and degrade information stored on CDs and DVDs. This technology also protects CDs and DVDs from electrostatic discharge (ESD) which can also destroy data and can be produced by simply touching a CD/DVD after walking across a carpeted floor.
For extra protection, the translucent archival polyester that is used in these products has been treated to shield the stored items from UV rays. http://www.bagsunlimited.com/c-519-corrosion-intercept.aspx
