Sleeve (Glassine) Daiber 43009 for 9x13 cm Broadside Opening – archival protective jacket

Daiber 43009 glassine sleeve for 9 × 13 cm items features a broadside opening and translucent, smooth material designed to protect photographs, documents and paper ephemera from dust and light handling. The sleeve provides a non-abrasive surface that reduces surface contact and is sized to accommodate small prints, postcards and loose paper items while allowing easy insertion and removal through the wide side opening. Intended for storage, filing and short-term display, the sleeve helps maintain condition during handling and transit.

Advantages

The glassine sleeve offers a smooth, low-friction surface that minimizes abrasion and surface damage to delicate paper and photo surfaces. Its translucency enables visual identification of contents without full removal, and the broadside opening allows quick access while keeping three sides sealed for protection. The sleeve is lightweight and flexible for slim storage in albums, boxes or folders and supports safe handling and transportation of small archival and collectible items.

Suitable for

• Photographs and small prints sized close to 9 × 13 cm
• Postcards, carte-de-visite and small paper ephemera
• Temporary display in portfolios or trays
• Storage in archival boxes, albums or filing systems

Key specifications

• Internal usable dimension: sized for items approximately 9 × 13 cm
• Opening type: broadside (wide side) access

How to use

Slide the photograph or paper item into the sleeve through the broadside opening until it sits flat inside. Handle the item by its edges when inserting and removing to reduce fingerprints and oils. Store sleeves upright in albums or flat in archival boxes, ensuring items are not compressed by overpacking. For transit, place sleeved items within rigid packaging or between supportive boards to prevent bending.

Usage recommendations

Use the glassine sleeve for short- to medium-term protection and handling; for long-term archival storage of valuable or moisture-sensitive items, consider combining with acid-free enclosures and climate-controlled storage. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and high humidity to maintain both sleeve and contents.
