Artist Display Sleeves

Select the sleeve from its actual dimensions

Start with the outside dimensions of the matted print or artwork, not only the printed image size. Each product page lists both the artwork size it is intended to hold and the actual sleeve dimensions. That extra clearance matters when a backing board, mat, or protective insert is included.

Protective closure compared with a flap seal

A protective closure places the adhesive on the body of the sleeve so the artwork is less likely to contact adhesive as the flap opens. The listed 6" x 9" sleeve uses a flap seal instead. Review the individual product specification when closure style affects repeated packing or customer handling.

Display packaging is not a framing package

A clear sleeve helps keep a print clean during display, storage, or sale, but it does not replace a rigid backing, mat, glazing, or frame when those components are needed. For a finished wall presentation, compare custom picture mats and custom picture frames.

Prepare art for sale or delivery

Handle the artwork with clean hands or inspection gloves, remove loose surface debris, and check that corners do not catch on the sleeve. Insert the work without forcing it and close the flap only after the piece sits flat. For additional packing, cleaning, and handling supplies, return to picture framing supplies.
