These are not sandwich bags!

These bags are 5 star quality. Revain does not package them properly for shipping. These bags are designed for displaying matte photographs or artwork. No bread bags! These 11 x 14 pouches have been folded in half to fit in a small box. As a result, these crystal clear bags have creases throughout. These bags are very see-through, but creases and creases interfere with their use. Bags must be shipped in a flat box or large padded envelope (with a couple of sheets of cardboard inside) marked "Do

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Available in white only

I have a toy collection and I use these bags to protect NIB items. They work great, powerful and easy to use. However, if I try to slide an unwieldy object like a polyhedral box into the pocket and stretch the top, the side tears. Just be aware of pocket limitations if you use them for something else. However, they are much stronger than the ones I've tried. I still love these bags and have reordered. The seller is excellent, I forget and run and sends quickly.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Some trouble

what i needed

As an aspiring portrait painter these are PERFECT for sending portraits to clients who don't need a glass frame! The frame part is good. this is exactly what i was looking for. The price is the best. the plastic bag is a bit brittle and the upper edge is torn when trying to insert the mat and backing, but thanks to the seal it doesn't matter too much. they are perfect for me. I like that they come in packages. I should have ordered more just to stock up, but once I've completed these portraitsโ€ฆ

Requires quality control work.

Out of 25 mats, 7 have quality control issues. See pictures. I believe if they added some corner protectors it would help with shipping. But I suspect the crumpled corners were damaged before shipping. The main box is good for shipping and protects the contents well. I didn't see any damage on the corners. Other issues are certainly related to production issues. On another order I received a few weeks ago, the white backings were 1/16th the size of the matching black mat, resulting in anโ€ฆ

There's more than you think!

I ordered these to frame transparencies so art students can "see" what their paintings will look like so they can't draw the way their left brain THINK they should see things . However, the first box I ordered looked like it only had 5 frames and I sent it back. When the second box looked the same as the first, I opened the clear plastic lid and found they were lined up, so there really were 10 in the box. I believe this is done so the black part doesn't rub against the white part duringโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lighting and Studio
Cons
  • Something Else

Spend the extra money and buy better mats elsewhere

Spend the extra money and buy better mats elsewhere. Some of the mats are not carved cleanly, as if someone inexperienced cut them or they were discarded due to their imperfection. But. some of them looked good. Since I didn't need all 25, I was able to pick the best ones to show. These rugs were great when I was in need and needed them to hang a dozen or so in the gallery for just a few days, but as for the material itself, the corners will curl even with the slightest bit of moisture. I haveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Very expensive
